Parents on Delta flight told they would 'lose their kids' if they didn't give up seats
ACalifornia family has become the latest to be caught up in the growing row about the treatment of passengers by airlines in the United States, after they were removed from their flight - and threatened with having their children taken into care if they did not comply. Brian and Brittany Schear were flying from Hawaii to Los Angeles on April 23, on a Delta airlines flight, when they were asked to give up their seats.
“Well, they can just remove me from the plane,” said Mr Schear.
An official replied: “In that case you and your wife will be in jail, and your kids will be taken away from you.”
The couple was with two of their three children; their two-year-old son Grayson, and a one-year-old daughter.
They had found travelling from LA to Hawaii with infants on their laps tiring, and so for their return flight their teenage son, Mason, 18, had agreed to fly on another plane, in advance. The family believed that this meant one of the infants could have Mason’s seat – and all four members of the family therefore have their own seat.
But when Mr and Mrs Schear were seated on the plane, with the two infants beside them, one in the 18-year-old’s seat, they were informed that they could not fly. Mr Schear said he had bought another ticket for Mason, and that one of the infants was using it. Delta said that was not allowed.

Airline "officials" believing that they're policemen...
Give a jumped-up little penpusher an inch, and he/she believes they're a ruler !
About time they started sacking some of those airline "officials" and their airport bullyboy "security" faux police goons..
