She just sat there and let it happen? I suppose that’s possible but something doesn’t sound right.

Indeed, I suspect there is a bit of fiction to this story. Our son flew NW Airlines to meet grandma a dozen times. The airline staff always placed him at the front of the airplane where they could keep an eye on him. I don’t believe Delta would do anything different.

I think it’s unlikely in any case that someone would get away with this... more likely on an /uncrowded/ flight, actually.

Plus, it’s not like they don’t know who was in the seat next to her! And it’s not someone who changed seats — the flight was crowded, remember?

My BS meter is reading at the high end also. I think it’s yet another money grab by yet another slimeball lawyer.

I’m finding this extremely hard to believe.

I first flew alone when I was nine years old (made my connection through Dallas/Ft. Worth on my own as well, thank you very much) and even at that age I wouldn’t have put up with that kind of nonsense for a flat second.

If there’s ever a time for a kid to scream bloody murder that’s it.

I would hope my children would scream but you don’t know what on earth he said to her. In the past when I had two of my children on a flight I made sure the airline had an attendant watching over them. Now we don’t fly. But I would never ever allow my daughter to fly alone for any reason.
