I have to side with the airline because, if they had taken off prior to this and something were to have happened to the three year old, the airline would have been sued; the family would have sued the hell out of the company [for alot of money at that]. If something had happened the pilot would have lost his job, and had he not stopped the plane, the toddler could have lost his life so I understand the actions. Bravo to the airline. The way that I interpret the turn around is, that the pilot was not aware that the parents had ultimately gotten their kid to put his seat belt on so he stopped the plane, landed at the gate, gave them the boot, and then continued on. I did not get this information in the video blog from ELAWshea, though his video was quite funny. There are some arguing that there should be child-free sections on airplanes, however, that's another entry, I'll give my point of view after really doing some thinking on it. In the meantime, what do you think? Do you agree w/ the airline? Do you think their should be some child-free sections on airplanes?

3 yr old gets put off plane for refusing to wear a seatbelt
Okay, this is I guess the first post on this particular blog where I will be talking about an event. This entry is about a news story that I actually came across on YouTube from ELAWshea (check him out!). Anyway, basically, this three year old did not want to wear his seat belt, after his father was told that the boy would have to wear the seatbelt before take off. Apparently the little boy said "NO, I'M NOT PUTTING ON THE SEATBELT! THAT'S FINAL!" and then he and the boy were asked to leave. It was said that the boy had cut up because he did not want to put the seat belt on. According to this article, a pacifier and some water had done the trick, however, the pilot had already turned the plane around. So did the Alaska airline do the right thing? Ready for my point of view?
