According to the story, they delayed the flight a good 15 minutes before they
got the boot. I'd say the airline was more than patient.

And frankly, if that kid had been sitting close to me when he pulled that crap,
the parents would not be happy with what was going to be said to that child. As
if I gave a ****.

I grew up flying from the age of 9 months on military transports. There's no
excuse... none... for DELAYING A FLIGHT. You may love your kids and be willing
to bend over backwards for them but I sure as hell don't and won't. If you
can't control them, don't bring them. It's as simple as that.
