I doubt very much that any airline pilot , given advice that a passenger should not travel without getting checked by a doctor is going to do anything different
Maybe some airlines might provide accommodation in this situation, but I don't see that they have any obligation to do so
I think it is a good warning, well received by parents, and the fact that the child was cleared for travel does lend credence to the OPs point.
Airlines have no obligation to provide anything other than advertised customer service. That is neither here nor there. It is how airlines handle human beings in irregular circumstances that does (and should ) make a reputational
difference. Offloading a family with a sick child enroute and then doing nothing about their subsistence and wellbeing at one's own hub, does little credit to
Emirates, in my view.
On another note, I trust all the people who speculated about " the one post wonder" will also review their own statements on this post again for pointers on future engagement. Many people who post here are too busy (or have other priorities ) to check their posts with the breathlessness that regulars do, and speculation about their motives is discourteous and pointless.
