Just because someone buys a carrier that is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration does not mean that the carrier is perfect, apparently. This news comes as a California mother, Melissa Bradley, age 39, was forced off United Airlines Flight 75 at San Francisco International Airport.
Apparently this mother had done everything that an airline could ask a mother with a baby to do. She not only paid for a Federal Aviation Administration approved carrier, but also paid for an extra seat for the carrier. However, twice in the last month this lady has encountered some kind of problem with airline seats that are too narrow for these so-called “approved infant carriers.”
Melissa said that she was actually forced off the United Airlines flight over a dispute over an economy class seat being too narrow for the carrier that she was using for her one-year-old daughter. However, United Airlines has another take on the story. In fact, a spokesman for the airline said that Melissa was removed from the plane, because she was being disruptive. The statement from the airline went on to say that the customer refused the staff’s attempts to accommodate her and the carrier that, unfortunately, would not fit in the assigned seat.
The statement went on to say that the captain of the plane elected to just have the lady removed, because she was being disruptive. She was interfering with the crew’s ability to prepare the cabin for departure. The lady was also taking pictures of the other people on the flight even after they asked her kindly to stop.
