101 students kicked off AirTran flight
A New York high school senior class and an airline agree on one thing: 101 students and eight chaperones were kicked off an early-morning flight from New York to Atlanta on Monday...from there, the accounts diverge. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think this is awesome! Good for AirTran/Southwest for kicking them off the plane.
Congrats to the Captain. They came on as a group, some didn't follow FAA rules, they we escorted off as a group. The kids and the teachers should be the ones the parents are upset with, not the airline.
Brats...
I like the kid who complained he wasn't given a chance to turn off his phone before being asked to leave. What he probably meant was that "okay, I REALLY mean it now - for the last time before I call your dad" chance like he gets at home. Then there's the kid who actually said "We were more behaved than kids should be." Attitude of entitlement or low standards? I doubt religion had anything to do with this - they were just spoiled brats.
Bravo to Air Tran and Southwest Airlines. I have been a teacher for over 30 years. As a result, I have no patience for that type of nonsense, and that level of disrespect for rules and authority. I am livid over the fact that the adult teachers and chaperones did not take preemptive action to stop this nonsense.
As far as I am concerned, they got what they deserved . To say that this issue was "blown out of proportion", or a " mountain out of a molehill" reflects a level of denial on the part of teachers and adult supervisors that enables students like this to behave the way they did believing they can get away with it. I am truly glad they got called on it, and appropriate action was taken.

Those kids don't need to be flying to an amusement park, if they don't know how to follow crews instructions responsible for their safety then they need to get their a**es back to school! Does the company want to loose money because some kid got injured on the plane for his stupidity? Its not racism, its because they want to stay in business. What kind of school is this? I hope those parents aren't paying money for them to go to school.
