Vasario 27 dieną, skrendant iš Punta Gorda, Floridoje, į Indianapolisą, Sidney ir Kyle Tash susidūrė su nemalonia situacija, kai aviakompanija Allegiant Air paprašė juos išlipti iš lėktuvo dėl jų verkiančio kūdikio. Tėvai teigia, kad skrydžio palydovas nusprendė, jog kūdikis serga, nes jos veidas buvo paraudęs nuo verksmo.
Incidento detalės
Pasak Sidney, šis incidentas buvo užfiksuotas jos „TikTok“ vaizdo įraše, kuriame ji dalinasi savo patirtimi. Aviakompanija teigia, kad jų įgula kreipėsi į medicinos paslaugų teikėją, kuris nustatė, kad kelionė kūdikiui gali būti pavojinga.
Viešoji nuomonė
Šis incidentas sukėlė intensyvų viešąjį debatą. Kai kurie žmonės palaiko aviakompanijos sprendimą, teigdami, kad toks veiksmas buvo būtinas, kad būtų užtikrinta kūdikio ir kitų keleivių saugumas. Kiti, priešingai, išreiškia empatiją tėvams, sakydami, kad jie turėtų turėti teisę keliauti su vaikais be baimės būti išmesti iš lėktuvo.
Situacijos aplinkybės
Pasak Sidney, šeima neturėjo jokių problemų praeidama saugumo patikrą ir patekdama į vartus, nors kūdikis buvo neramus. Sėdėdami lėktuve, jiems buvo paprašyta parodyti bilietus, o taip pat užduoti klausimai apie jų vaiką, pavyzdžiui, jos vardą ir gimimo datą. Tada jie buvo informuoti, kad skrydžio palydovas pranešė, jog kūdikis turi karščiavimą, ir kad medikai neleido jam skristi, todėl turės palikti lėktuvą.
Aviakompanijos atsakas
Aviakompanija Allegiant Air patvirtino, kad jie veikė pagal procedūras, skirtas keleivių saugumui užtikrinti. Jie teigė, kad tais atvejais, kai kyla abejonių dėl keleivio sveikatos, gali būti kreipiamasi į medicinos informacijų paslaugą, kad būtų gauti patarimai.
Ką tai reiškia Lietuvai?
Šis incidentas kelia svarbių klausimų apie aviakompanijų politiką ir tėvų teises keliaujant su mažais vaikais. Lietuvoje, kaip ir daugelyje šalių, tėvai dažnai susiduria su iššūkiais, kai bando keliauti su mažais vaikais. Ši situacija gali paskatinti diskusijas apie tai, kaip geriau užtikrinti tėvų ir vaikų patirtį keliaujant, ir galbūt paskatinti aviakompanijas peržiūrėti savo politiką šiuo klausimu.
Asmeninės pasekmės
Po incidento Sidney teigė, kad šeima buvo priversta laukti 24 valandas iki kito skrydžio. Ji taip pat skundėsi, kad aviakompanija nesuteikė jiems jokios kompensacijos, įskaitant automobilį, vežimėlį ar apgyvendinimą, ir kad jų bagažas liko pirmame lėktuve.
Diskusijos internete
Socialiniuose tinkluose įvyko intensyvios diskusijos apie šį incidentą. Kai kurie internautai pritarė aviakompanijai, teigdami, kad turėtų būti daugiau dėmesio skiriama keleivių saugumui, o kiti išreiškė pasipiktinimą tėvų elgesiu ir tuo, kad kūdikiai gali sukelti diskomfortą kitiems keleiviams.
Išvados
Šis incidentas neabejotinai kelia svarbius klausimus apie tėvų teises keliaujant su vaikais ir aviakompanijų atsakomybę. Kaip rodo šis atvejis, visuomenės nuomonė šiuo klausimu yra labai įvairi, ir tai gali turėti įtakos ateities politikai aviakompanijose.
@quarantinecutiee @Allegiant Air We were unable to fly back home to Indiana with Allegiant on Friday 3/27 at 9pm due to a baby being naturally pale and red in the face from crying on a plane. First they didn’t believe our babies birth certificate from Indiana at check in and they had several people look at it. We went through TSA just fine no issues. We boarded our flight like normal. Before boarding we took off babies shirt because she was hot on the flight from Indy to Florida we figured she’d probably be sweaty then too. She had also just ate baby food. Anybody with a child knows they are messy. They removed the gentleman in the aisle seat told him there was a seat up front away from kids. The whole two rows we were in were full of children and their parents. Someone in a vest came onto the plane and ask for our boarding pass again. I handed it over. They then asked me how old the baby was, her name, her birthdate and went back by the bathrooms and kept talking into the phone and walkie talkie. They called her an unidentified infant over the walkie. Then they told us a flight attendant reported us for a baby being feverish… said medical professionals wouldn’t clear her to tly and that we were going to have to get off. Nobody would come and see her. Nobody on the flight was required to have a temperature checked. Nobody would even come and take her temperature. They said well she looks red and it looks like a rash. Several other babies were on the flight and also crying. We were told to get off the flight or police would take us off of it even though we weren’t arguing or cussing. As we walked off we asked again why are we getting kicked off the plane and they stated we weren’t getting kicked off. I asked to speak to a supervisor. I told the lady I’m not mad at you I’m mad at the situation. Im not complaining about you specifically. A supervisor wouldn’t come and talk to us in person only on a phone. We got on the next flight they had which was 11am the next day. No accommodations, no car to get around, no place to stay other than to call family back to grab us from the airport again. We were so lucky we hadn’t been just in town by ourselves. We waited an hour for them to drive back and grab us. We have no luggage as they wouldn’t grab it off the plane. No car seat or stroller for the baby. They gave us an unclaimed car seat that has no padding and isn’t age appropriate. Car seat was way too big had to hold her head the whole ride back to Kyle’s grandparents house because it was too big. We missed work the next day, had to get our pet sitter to stay another day, didn’t get to pick up our two other kids that were at dads for spring break and missed our foster care class which was the only one that aligned with our schedule for the next two months. We got on our next flight no issues. When we checked in they did state usually you can’t tly tor 24 hours if there’s illness when I asked if there were notes in for the night previous for when I called customer care. However we were put on the next flight 12 hours later. They even tried to make it better putting us in priority boarding and extra leg room which we didn’t care about. We chose the back of the plane on purpose, less windows, it’s usually darker for the baby to nap, and usually other people with kids chose the back. There was such a difference in the second flight sitting up front. Everyone was so much nicer and friendlier. We called Allegiant and they just keep telling us we are not able to get any sort of compensation for our time or experience. They wouldn’t email or give me any policies on traveling with infants and they wouldn’t connect me to a supervisor of any kind. @Allegiant Air also if you’re just here to make comments about a baby being naked or there being more to the story get fucked
@jessicabrennan66 I will never fly allegiant ever again! They kicked this young couple and their baby off because the baby was hot and in a diaper so he’d be more comfortable. This power tripping allegiant lady accused the baby of having a fever and kicked them off the airplane!!! Shame on you allegiant. allegiant allegiantairlines Id also like to add that this baby was fine but the allegiant employee continued to stall the airplane and came back several times to ask for birth certificate, date of birth, etc. And the baby got upset. Then, accused the baby of having a fever. She never took the temperature. Everyone on the plane was disturbed by this injustice. allegiantreviews allegiant allegiantairlines
