Memphis mother booted off flight after exchange with flight attendant about infant carrier

2015-02-01 01:51:13| Airlines - Topix.net

Rude, loud, and downright disrespectful is how new mom Nicki Gazlay says a flight attendant with Frontier Airlines spoke to her this past Wednesday. Gazlay says that while boarding a connector flight from Denver to Memphis, the flight attendant demanded she remove her five-month-old son from his Ergo Baby carrier, something she says she didn't have to do on her previous Frontier Flight.
