If you thought the toddler was still in Florida by herself, you are going to be disappointed.

TL;DR

A flight was delayed. A toddler was put on standby. The toddler was given a seat, but not with the family, which was a mistake. The FA made up a non-existent "law" leaving it to Dad to ask people to move, which people did immediately without any real problem aside from a brief grumble. Later on Dad told the airline about it and didn't like the tone of the response. The guy from out east whose job it is to get outraged, got outraged.

If Molly had been a veteran or a cancer survivor or on her way to a funeral, this might have made CTV. Alas she is merely a standard issue toddler, so inside ottawa valley dot com it is for her.
