The family paid $1000s of dollars for 4 round trip tickets on a private airline. They asked for a very simple accommodation on the last leg of a long day of flying with children. You are stuck in the air on a plane and at the mercy of a flight crew and your disabled child is having blood sugar problems that can be avoided by a simple hot meal. It is NOT too much to ask to pay for a hot meal that is within 20 ft of your seat. Instead you antagonize the mom and make here beg and then you run to the captain and cause a midflight emergency.

Public airline. Get it right.

They asked for a very simple accommodation

They demanded something they hadn't paid for and likely unavailable.

No, I'm not. I don't get into situations like that.
My kids are fine and don't give a rat's ass about sugar.

One of 'em even flew in and out of Afghanistan and Germany
about a hundred times and never flipped out over sugar or food temperature.

It is NOT too much to ask to pay for a hot meal that is within 20 ft of your seat.

It is when it ain't available.
Especially when you make threats to get it.

Instead you antagonize the mom

Yep. She seems to be the problem.
