A friend that is a pilot From Spirit just updated me on this situation. It was a CRO no a FA that tried to remove the family from the Plane. The CRO was remove from the plane, the Family remained on the Flight and made it to the destination.

They did let them back on and suspended the flight attendant responsible for the above scene

I heard that when the family was kicked off, in solidarity with them the other passengers all got off, too. This forced the airline to let everyone back on, while the steward was kicked off. This is what need to be done more often. We need to stop submissively accepting whatever our ‘betters’ decide to do.

I will never fly again until this mask order has been revoked

I agree that the baby has the right to eat. Nobody can eat with a mask on BUT the dad removed his mask in order to argue and for that, they should be more than thrown outside the plane. What does he think he is MR. BIG SHOT? Hello! People have to understand (including the stewardess) that when one eats IN SILENCE without a mask, there is NO RISK but please.. DONT TALK AND EAT at the same time. THAT should be ground for removal. Oh boy... ! More people should have taken science in high school. People are sooo dumb ! Use common sense people!
