Well done to all who left the plane. However the clip is also a reminder why I will never step foot in an airport or plane again if they keep the face nappy wearing in place.
People who say the “mask” is ok, that it’s just a mask. Well, this is the power they have over you when you don’t / can’t comply. Proud of those people who stood up! But think of how many people where you live that would have just have stayed in their seat!
Don’t people wonder why they can’t see their family etc but yet they can be squished together on a plane. People to realise once and for all THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT HEALTH! Watch your freedoms be removed bit by bit or take off your mask and say NO to tyranny!
Family ejected from Frontier Airlines flight, passengers say due to maskless baby
By Tamar Lapin and Kenneth Garger
Frontier Airlines said they cancelled a flight from Florida on Sunday after a “large group” of passengers refused to wear masks — but the family involved claims they were booted simply because of a maskless baby.
The fracas took place aboard flight 2878, which was set to depart Miami en route to LaGuardia Airport at 7 p.m. until the disagreement forced all passengers to deplane and reschedule a flight for the next morning.
“Multiple people, including several adults, were asked repeatedly to wear their masks and refused to do so,” the airline said in a statement Sunday night.
“Based on the continued refusal to comply with the federal mask mandate, refusal to disembark the aircraft and aggression towards the flight crew, local law enforcement was engaged.”
However, fellow passenger Hershey Greenbaum told The Post the child seemed to be the reason for the family’s removal.
“We were all on the plane when they [flight attendants] came on and saw the 18-month-old baby without a mask,” Greenbaum said.
In video footage of the incident, the father can be seen explaining that the child was under the age of two.
Greenbaum said other passengers came to the defense of the family and became “rowdy” when they were booted.
The parents told the attendants they would try to fit a covering on the baby, according to Greenbaum, but that not did not stop them from taking action.
“All the people on the plane were getting really mad and rowdy because, what are you going to do? It’s an 18-month old baby,” Greenbaum said.
“Most of them were saying ‘Don’t let them do this to you,’” Greenbaum said of the other passengers. “Most of the people were against it, Jewish or not Jewish, why are you picking on an 18-month-old kid?”
The company said: “To be clear, the issue did not stem from a child under the age of two.”
At least one passenger filmed part of the interaction, which was later posted to Twitterby the Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council.
Numerous passengers can be heard calling out the flight staff for what they believed to be an unjustified action.
“What are you accomplishing?” one person says.
“You’re gonna pay the consequences,” another passenger can be heard saying.
“This is Nazi Germany,” a third person shouts.
Greenbaum said about 15 police officers responded to the incident.
Glad that they stood up for their rights.
The friendly skies….
what a nightmare…
Unbelievable and Disgraceful! FRONTIER Airlines will suffer greatly for this abusive behavior. These hateful acts must come to an end, I am so proud of all of those passengers who left the plane with the Baby and parents who were expelled. I believe that babies under the age of 2 are Not Required to wear masks. Thank goodness for that, as babies cannot tolerate having anything placed over their faces!!!! None of us should be dealing with this level of abuse.
I just sent an email to Frontier airlines. I’ve flown several times since the plandemic and have watched the flight attendants become increasingly militant about mask wearing. Recently, (since the EO from Biden that affects airlines since they are overseen by the FAA) one flight attendant announced that we could take the masks off to eat and drink but we were to replace them between bites and sips. On the same flight, when we had landed and were taxiing to the bridge, another attendant asked that we refrain from standing in the aisle all at once to observe social distancing. Every seat on that flight was filled. So – we just sat shoulder to shoulder with people for several hours – but NOW – in the aisle – we needed to social distance?!?!? I’m so tired of this and hope the rest of the world is too.
Yes, I believe many of us are tired of it. So tired, we don’t want to fly anymore.
I do love seeing people push back against tyranny. I just hope everyone feels the same when countries and airlines force us to take PCR tests and get COVID vaccines if we want to fly and visit.
