Family removed from BA flight because the kids wouldn't wear seatbelts
I was on BA84 yesterday from YVR to LHR and we left about 45 minutes late. I was sitting in Y and saw that there was some commotion in J. Apparently the lady and her family was being asked to deplane because her kids wouldn't wear a seatbelt and she justified it with a doctor's note. The captain wouldn't have it so asked them to get off before he would push back. Needless to say the mom was freaking out and tried to convince her kids to wear their seatbelts but the crew said that the captain had already made up his mind and would like them to get off.
I think the captain did the right thing and good for him for standing his ground because a mom didn't want to be a parent.
Has anyone else heard of passengers not wanting to wear seatbelts before and using a doctors note to justify it?
