If you're going to bring your children onto a plane, you can NOT let them loll around in the aisles on taxi and takeoff. That's the RULES. Always has been. Always will be. MAGAts are trying to make this about the mask. It was NOT about the mask. If I'm given a choice between believing a flight attendant or a MAGAt, I'm going to believe the flight attendant.

“After observing a minor in the party laying in the aisle and moving between seats on taxi out, our flight crew made multiple attempts to reinforce safety requirements,” he continued. “While addressing the party, our crew also reminded the individuals in the party that federal directives require customers to wear a face covering at all times while on board unless actively eating or drinking.”
”At no time was it made known to our crew members that a member of the party was experiencing an asthma attack or trouble breathing,” he added. “Individuals were not addressed for failure to comply with face covering requirements at any point while administering treatment.”
