Summary

United Airlines apologized to Melissa Sotomayor after crew members tried to make her remove her son’s ventilator during a March 8 flight from Tampa to Newark.

Sotomayor, whose 2-year-old son relies on a ventilator and tracheostomy tube, said staff demanded the equipment be stowed for takeoff despite prior medical clearance.

A third flight attendant claimed the child would “be OK” without it. The captain called her “difficult” and said the equipment was a safety risk.

Sotomayor expressed feeling humiliated and vowed never to fly United again.

    You come to this comment section where people are talking about United Airlines trying to remove a kids ventilator and you make a personal attack on someone implying they’re lazy for not being more politically active.

    Then, when someone does make a political reference, you tell them it’s not relevant to the current conversation lol. Your comments are insanely standoff-ish and I’m fairly sure you’re just trolling but on the off chance you are actually like that you may want to consider trying to be more personable if you actually want to get your points across.
