I watched an ABC news interview with the dad yesterday. One thing I picked up on that I hadn’t heard from others is that he said when they deplaned there were 4 or 5 standby passengers at the gate ready to board. Interestingly enough, delta declined his offer to just hold the kid so the plane could take off and instead kicked the entire family of four off the flight, unrefunded. Then resold those four seats to the standby people. Double dipping much, Delta?
That’s what I thought! Double-dipping, indeed!
