American Airlines flight to the Bahamas canceled when Massachusetts high schoolers refused to wear masks
Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Monday was the scene of a protest by a group of Massachusetts high schoolers who refused to wear masks, causing an American Airlines flight to the Bahamas to be canceled and creating a nightmare for dozens of passengers left stranded, reports say. (www.pennlive.com) Más...There is plenty of blame to go around. First: AA travel desk allowing Breakaway Beach to book trips with one "counselor" per twenty-five students(from Breakaway's web site). Two: the parents allowing their children to travel to a foreign country with this company. Three: AA once again not able to provide an aircraft to fly their passengers to their destination. Also, AA did not offer to give the group hotel and meal vouchers. Sleeping in the airport is not an option since they close it for some reason from 2-4am(been there; done that). There is no excuse for the high school kids bad behavior. There is no excuse for AA to treat there customers this badly. They usually reserve this treatment for their "feeder" airlines.
Where was the chaperone? Their chaperone should have been jailed, at least overnight. I would have locked their entitled asses in the TSA terminal jail/detention cell.
With groups of brats, it's usually one or two kids that start the naughty. Make them all sit in the cell overnight, and the leaders will be coughed up for more punishment.
I mean, not 'punishing' the brats, and making them responsible for the cost to cancel the flight means there is no negative for being an entitled ignorant ass. Getting kids in the future to follow the rules will become harder. Give them an inch, and they will expect a mile next time. And the chaperone should be publicly spanked. The pandemic is real, and the variants are nothing to laugh at, and will continue to become more deadly.

So, what was the original complaint that these tykes figured they had the right to protest? I guess in their education, they did not learn anything about cooperation but only individual/mob rule?
I am about to sound like an old poop, (maybe I am), but back in my day, that would have equated to at LEAST being suspended from school if not expelled.

and a good ass whipping
"WSOC-TV said that according to police sources, no one was arrested."???
We have been hearing many other reports from different airports of unruly passengers getting their butts hauled off by the constabulary, so WTHeck gives these little indignant rejects the right to not get slapped with cuffs???

There is no way the airline would hold an entire plane hostage because a few people weren't wearing their masks. They would be asked to leave, and if they refused the authorities would be called. This article clearly implies that the group of miscreants was directly responsible for the delay, when it seems the actual cause was maintenance and duty time issues, and the bad behavior was just ancillary.
