The captain has the final authority. I really don't think he would throw the lady and her son off the airplane for just being loud. I could see maybe a gate return and then going back there and talking to her....but something had to of gone wrong for them to be thrown off. I think this story is bullSH*t

Unless the FA told the CA that she threatened him. Then I would think he'd be pretty automatic in his response. Somewhere out there, someone crossed the line. Either it was the FA or the lady on board. Unfortunately, that one is going to be tried in the Court of Public Opinion and right now it's Crazy Lady 1, Angry Xjet FA 0.

Anybody wonder what else the public won't see? I know that just about everyone on this forum saw a story about XJet. What did John Q Public see on the news? Continental Airlines. The only clue that it was XJet was when the reporter said "... Continental Express Jet...". Obvious to us, but not to everyone.

This is not the AirTran kid that wouldn’t sit in the seat and was crawling everywhere. That was a problem of parental discipline.
This sounds like a kid that was just happy to finally be getting on with the trip.
I normally don't side with anyone outside the industry when it comes to issues regarding removing px. But this, if it is an accurately reported story, should clearly land in the PX corner.
Short of that, your post was an ignorant rant by a child criticizing a smaller child. Pick on KIDS your own size!
