[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would have been the big deal if the fight attendent gave her some hot food from first class? Is that really such a big deal? Did they really need to divert a plane over this request?[/quote]

The teen was given the hot food accommodation.  [b]They were escorted off due to the potential for disruptive behavior while in flight[/b].  There was a flight safety concern.  [/quote]

But any person has a potential for disruptive behavior. If this is the case, then the mom does have basis for a lawsuit--her child was discriminated against due to her autism. There was no actual disruptive behavior.[/quote]

The lawsuit will get tossed.  The mother informed the flight attendant that another passenger (her daughter) was close to having a physical "meltdown" at 36,000 feet.  It's sad, but the flight attendant acted reasonably.  If the mother was aware that her daughter had not eaten during the layover then she should have never stepped foot on that plane.  Plus, knowing that a meltdown was possible maybe the family should have sprung for at least one first class ticket?  They were on a Disney vacation for crying out loud, its not like they were travelling at the last minute for an emergency. [/quote]
