He started Gromit by asking at the desk and was met with sky nazi type hostility. He complied and went away and then trie dto engage the FA's to see if they could resolve the issue and faced the same problem.
This is a basic need. He wanted to sit next to his 5 year old. There can be no more reasonable request.... and the conduct of these FA's is disgraceful. Even if he was assertive or rude in making his request, the request itself was reasonable and SHOULD HAVE BEEN ACTED ON.
Please tell us if you post the video on youtube, so we can try and boost it's viewings.

Thank you for your concern and support. One of the passengers has the video as she is the one who was tapping it until she was forced physically to stop tapping by Continental staff, another unlawful act by Continental staff. Though I haven't see the video, fortunately I believe it's uneventful as there was no physical assult by anyone, with the exception of the Continental agent trying to remove the camera from the other passanger. Having said that I don't know how interesting it will be for viewers. What the video shows is my calm demeanor and Continental agents threatening to have my son and I removed from the plane and me arrested if I didn't disembark the plane to further discuss the matter. I didn't want to bother the other passenger unless absolutely necessary but at this point I will seek to get a copy of the video tape. Thank you.
