Family Ejected From Flight Because Of Small Injury
I think this is really ridiculous, I'm surprised the airline is unable to see how exaggerated was the move, totally unnecessary.
QUOTE A British family was kicked off a local plane flight because the pilot reportedly thought a small cut on their toddler's face was a health and safety hazard.
John Maitland, 33, and his partner, Laura Bishop, 36, were traveling with their 19-month old daughter, Robyn, between the Isle of Jersey and Newcastle, England this month when they boarded an easyJet flight, Sky News reported.
A stewardess noticed a scrape on Robyn's cheek that she got after falling on a radiator while on vacation. The couple did not think the small cut was serious.
The stewardess alerted the pilot to the injury and the family was told they had to exit the plane.
"I couldn't believe it. I started crying and I was pleading with him, saying 'this is ridiculous, we"re only going to Newcastle, it's about an hour's flight", but he insisted that he wouldn't fly us," Bishop told Sky. Source 1
