JetBlue joins war on children- Boots family from plane due to toddler's tantrum

[kestrel91316]

17. I was on a cross-country flight years ago that was greatly delayed in departing because of a toddler

shrieking and screaming and running up and down the aisle. The parents utterly failed to even attempt to control her, make her sit down and be quiet, and comply with FAA rules so the flight could depart. Finally when the crew had asked nicely about THREE TIMES they sat her down, but the shrieking continued. It was a major temper tantrum mostly consisting of I DONT WANNA!!!!!!

The pilot finally came back and informed them that the family of 4 (including a quiet infant) would have to exit the plane - it was not safe to take off because the other passengers would have mutinied if we had been forced to listen to another 4 hours of that.

If your children can't or won't control themselves, find another way to get where you are going, folks.

ETA: The temper tantrum went on for at least 2 hours. I was sitting right across the aisle from them. I wanted to kill myself to escape the noise.
