Very Unfortunate this had to happen, i wish they would understand us as parents that we were trying the best we could to calm our son so we could continue our once in a lifetime vacation to St. Thomas, Virgin Island. This was a very special vacation for our family and i feel ill never be able to afford the same for my family. As Father i do my best to control my kids, but sometimes kids do marvelous things, and we need sometime to take control off them, In my opinion the child was under control at our departure time with his seat belt Fastened on as Requested by flight crew. There are many stories out there, like he is not fastened standing up running around, then on seat choking himself and his feet dangling over the seat. Anyone who believe this, is more then welcome to come see our family at house, check my son for any bruising or evidence of this, in God's Power i do my best to raise my boys so no hard happens to them, any father who has children and especially his 1st Born, will be anything in Power given to him by GOD, to protect his child from Danger.
So, whomever thinks im a bad father or could not control my child, is WRONG, Toddlers do certain things at certain times where they are hard to control at first, with some love and care and Power of GOD and wisdom he has given me, i did my best to take control of his behavior. When Plane was ready to depart the Gate he would have been ready quiet and sitting in his seat buckled like he was supposed to. ITS NOT MY FAULT THE ALASKA AIRLINES FLIGHT CREW, CAPTAIN AND STEWARDESSES WERE IN HURRY TO LEAVE RAINY SEATTLE
its my HOME and i love it here, THERE WAS EVEN AN ANNOUNCEMENT OVER THE INTERCOM, THAT WERE LEAVING EARLY, The departure time was 1015pm, all this happened at 10PM, I believe the flight crew was in a hurry to Leave Seattle and was unreasonable in not giving us enough time to get seated. Also, when we were at the Gate still and my son was crying for his mom, when my wife left her seat in 1st Class to Join us in couch row 23, the Stewardess asked my Mother-In-Law what nationality we were, she said Ukrainian and things from then on went down hill, i dont want to believe that our Nationality was a factor in getting us kicked off the plane, but putting all the events in order of sequence on how this happened, i NOW BELIEVE our Nationality played a BIG ROLE in getting us kicked off the plane, this is SAD Story and i wish it will never happen to anyone flying Alaska Airlines. I want Answer I want Apology, i want Explanation, to this date i have not heard nothing personally from Alaska Airlines, seems like they just want this to go away, but i want answers, explanation.
