Another family removed from flight, after refusing to be bullied by Delta Airlines. Delta employees lied to the family, in an effort to try to steal a seat from a toddler. "Put the baby in your lap, for the flight from Hawaii to California."Threatened the mother and father with jail time, if they did not leave. Said "You might lose your kids."
Who told the attendants they had to say these things to a family with a baby and a toddler ? What they were looking for was a verbal crowbar to pry a seat free.
"As we were leaving the plane, there’s four or five passengers waiting for our seat. The bottom line is, they oversold the flight.”
Schear told the station that he had to eat the cost of the three airline tickets, rent a hotel for the night and then buy three more tickets the next day.

Schear can be heard in the video repeatedly saying that he paid for the seat in which his infant son was sitting. He said it "isn't right" that the airline was asking him to give it up.
He said he bought his older son a seat on a different flight so that his infant son could sit a car seat instead of his mother's lap during the overnight trip. "He can't sleep unless he's in his car seat," the father is heard saying.
An official can be heard telling the man that it's federal policy that whoever occupies a seat on an aircraft must be the person whose name is booked for that seat. The official also tells the man he will "go to jail" if he doesn't cooperate.
Delta says the flight was not overbooked, but there were passengers waiting to fly standby, which is why they were trying to make room on the flight.
