A family was forced to get off a plane after their baby began crying intensely before takeoff. According to the parents, the girl was very red because she had been crying for several minutes, but the crew, on the other hand, considered that her condition (the redness) could be related to a possible medical problem and consulted a specialized service, which recommended that the minor not continue the trip.
As Sydney Tash recounted, it all happened on an Allegiant Air flight between Florida and Indianapolis. The parents insisted that the girl did not have a fever and was only upset from crying. However, the crew decided that she would not continue the trip.
The video has sparked an intense debate: was it a safety measure or a lack of empathy toward parents who were trying to calm their daughter?
@jessicabrennan66 I will never fly allegiant ever again! They kicked this young couple and their baby off because the baby was hot and in a diaper so he'd be more comfortable. This power tripping allegiant lady accused the baby of having a fever and kicked them off the airplane!!! Shame on you allegiant. #allegiant #allegiantairlines Id also like to add that this baby was fine but the allegiant employee continued to stall the airplane and came back several times to ask for birth certificate, date of birth, etc. And the baby got upset. Then, accused the baby of having a fever. She never took the temperature. Everyone on the plane was disturbed by this injustice. #allegiantreviews #allegiant #allegiantairlines ♬ original sound – Jessica Brennan
