>>Chick was at home, not boarding, and she issued no actual threat. This ‘case’ will be dismissed but the kids life will be upside down for a while anyways. <<
Posting to an airline is the same as boarding. That is reality.
I agree she won’t see charges but she might not be able to fly on any airline for a long time (if ever).
Hard to say what the fallout will be but it won’t be good for her.
Corrected for grammar and punctuation.
Hope that helps heaps.
