I applaud AirTran! They handled it very well from what I have read.

It saddens me because it seems that many people have this "me first" attitude these days, that they and their children are more important than the other 112 people on the plane.

AirTran more than compensated them for having a child that the parents couldn't control. A three year old is certainly old enough to obey when it is told to sit in their seat and stop crying. I would have been MORTIFIED if one of my kids behaved that badly and I can't imagine blaming the airline for kicking us off the airplane that WE already delayed for 15 minutes!!!!!
