Twitter Reacts To Spirit Airlines Removing Family From Plane After 2-year-old Wasn’t Wearing A Mask

A family on a flight from Orlando to New York was ejected off Spirit Airlines by a flight attendant because their two-year-old boy was not wearing a mask while eating. The boy, who is special needs, was accompanied by his father and mother who is 7-months pregnant.

The flight attendant who had ordered the family off the plane was removed and a few minutes later, the family was allowed to board again.

Spirit Airlines is now under fire after the video surfaced showing the flight attendant attempting to eject the family of four from the airplane because their two-year-old child was not wearing a face mask.

Many users on Twitter are reacting in ways that most would expect, and some used this time to bash Spirit Airlines altogether:

I am shocked Spirit Airlines didn't charge the family to be thrown off the plane.

It’s actually against Spirit Airlines rules to fly with a child that’s not screaming. https://t.co/ItGwADY25T
