Particularly interesting IMHO are the comments from other passengers Hall (who supports the family) and Hedlund (who supports the airline).

Personally I don't think that after the considerable disruption caused by Juliette that the airline could have taken the risk in leaving her onboard and hope that she doesn't continue being disruptive. How could the airline be sure that her parents would keep her constrained in her seat, would they ban her from stretching her legs or visiting the toilet?

Hmmm. She says it's not about the money. Yeah right. I'll believe that if she swears under oath to donate all proceeds, if she wins, to autism research. Of course it's about the money. She is seeing $$
