FA /crew /pax wrong or right ?
 

WillBarrett_68 Aug 19, 2019 8:10 am
I am going to guess there is a lot of missing detail here (particularly between when the purser said to let them stay in the switched seats and when the pilot ordered the plane to be deboarded).

Why this picture? It's not the current DL FA uniform.

I am assuming that this was a regional flight

Better to switch seats only once already in the air.

Exactly. Not even a real Delta crew.

They have a child with a disability who cannot sit by themselves. I am guessing takeoff is one of the worst parts of it. Suggesting switching seats in the air is silly in such a case.

As long as the passengers agreed to the switch, I have no idea why a flight attendant was even involved.

I don't think it matters whether it's a "real" delta crew or not. The vast majority of customers don't see a difference and Delta shouldn't treat it any differently in their response.

Agreed. I'm not a big fan of these types of posts. As in most posts, the poster was an angel and the employees were tyrants. That could be true, but I find the truth is somewhere in the middle. I'm not condoning the flight crew, but there is more to the story...

I forgot about that, but regardless it seems wrong to post a photo of a FA regardless of whether she was the one who booted them or whether it's just some random photo of a FA in an airport.

I wonder whether the seat switch moved the autistic kid into an exit row or something similar happened.

Also, I suspect that this gets back to the simple fact that if people want to sit together, they should reserve seats together (and not buy BE fares, if this is what happened).

This is different, the child had a disability issue. Thus the law requires that he have his assistant be seated next to him. Even if bought BE fare DL would be required to put one (not both, but one) next to him.

If the flight attendant really was being that ridiculous, the captain probably made the right call. He needed to remove her from the flight and he probably couldn't just conjure up a replacement (is DTW a skywest FA base?)

Can you imagine if the flight had taken off and she continued to escalate the situation in the air?

on the other hand, we can always count on certain parts of the flyertalk mob to blame everything on the kid and the parents.
