Remember the family that was asked to get off a commuter plane because the mother was A spokesman for Freedom Airlines said that half an hour after being kicked off, the pilot apologized to the Gillette family and asked them to reboard, but Mrs. Gillette says that never happened. "I would have jumped at the opportunity," she said. The spokesman also said that the attendant had been disciplined, but did not specify what that discipline was. Nor did he indicate whether the discipline was for mistreating a passenger and disparaging breast-feeding or whether it focused more on generating bad publicity for the airline.

This situation made me so mad. I don't BF anymore but I'll be sure not to ride that airline. I'm so disappointed.

Another update to this story...there is a grass roots movement organizing a nationwide "nurse in" for Tuesday, the 21st at 10 am at Delta counters across the country.

I posted earlier, and had some people agree and some disagree. The BIGGEST point I am trying to make is NOBODY IS MORE SPECIAL THAN ANYBODY ELSE. EVERYBODY PAID TO BE ON THE PLANE, SO NOBODY SHOULD GET SPECIAL TREATMENT. Regardless of their sex, race, creed, or other status. I've been deformed since birth and I'll be damned if I deserve any special treatment. Likewise, Emily Gillette doesn't deserve any special treatment for being a nursing mother. Where do people get off thinking they will do whatever, and damn anybody else's feelings on the subject.
