Family Thrown Out Of Southwest Flight Over a Mask, Good Samaritan Pilot Helps Them Out
by
Erik and Michelle Harvey, a married couple from Denver, Colorado, recently posted a Facebook video of themselves and their two-year-old son, Jackson, being kicked off a flight on Southwest Airlines. What was the crime in question? The two-year-old Jackson refusing to wear a mask, despite repeated attempts by his parents to do so.
When asked about why this occurred, Southwest issued the following statement to FOX news:
“We regret the inconvenience this family experienced on their recent Southwest Airlines trip. However, federal law requires all Customers two and over to wear a face mask while at the airport and onboard the aircraft. This is communicated to Customers in multiple areas including during the booking process, checking in, boarding, and pre-flight messaging. Our Customer Relations Team has reached out to the Customers to further discuss the situation. We appreciate the ongoing support and spirit of cooperation among Southwest Customers and Employees as we take care of each other while striving to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
