We’re approaching the season of airline horror stories.  We’ll be hearing about lost luggage and missed connections and overbooked flights and maybe freaked-out flight attendants.  To start us off, here’s the first one of the season.  At the Seattle airport, the Alaska Airlines pilot was rolling his plane out when he turned around and went back to the gate, to get a three year old and his father kicked off the plane.  The three year old, maybe just graduated from the “terrible twos” was refusing to wear his seat belt.  The pilot said it was a matter of safety and put them off the plane.  Dad says the airline over-reacted.  A lot of opinions are coming in about this story.  Some think the pilot went a little over the top.  Daniel tweets common sense was lost.  Gord wonders about dad’s parenting skills.  Denis points out, a four year old needs a booster seat in a car, but a three year old hurtling through the sky in a tin can needs only an ill-fitting belt.  John says, “Bottom line – seats belts are mandatory for all.”  Do you think the pilot did the right thing?  How do you distract your three year into doing what you want?  Let me know.
