VIDEO: @SpiritAirlines staffer tells pregnant Mom that her young child needs to put on a mask despite eating or else police will be called.

NOTE that the video shows the early moments of this incident, so @SpiritAirlines can’t pull here a he/she said.

More of the @SpiritAirlines incident.

FYI, following the @FlyFrontier incident a few weeks back, @FAANews sent warning letters to passengers who at the time were not even accused of not wearing masks that they were in violation of the mask rule. Letter can’r even be appealed!

Everyone was ordered off @SpiritAirlines following the “incident” with the child. Parents have with them a 7 year old special needs child.

@PeteButtigieg should get the FAA to investigate these things rather than the FAA enabling airliners to be abusive.

BTW, @FlyFrontier had alleged that a person didn’t have a mask. FAA sent a letter saying the violation is part of the person’s compliance record but it can’t be appealed because it’s just a “warning notice” and “not a formal adjudication or a legal finding.” cc @PeteButtigieg

Unlike @FlyFrontier who kept dishing out insults and alleged lies against the victims of their abuse a few weeks back, @SpiritAirlines let everyone back onto the plane. (Possibly everyone except for the abusive - and potentially bigoted - crew member.)

In a tweet, @SpiritAirlines tried pulling a @FlyFrontier and accuse the adults of not wearing masks. However, unlike with Frontier, this incidents was recorded from the start and the staffer admits the issue is with the child.

Spirit deleted the tweet. H/T @YWN & @ChaskelBennett

In a new statement, @SpiritAirlines does not blame the passengers, but - due to unions and fear of lawsuits - also does not admit a wrong in how its crew handled an eating 2 year old.
