While many would give up their airplane seat for a child, Americans say families should plan better
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Several Americans said they would give up their first-class plane seat so a child could sit with their family after a video of a woman refusing to do so went viral.
“Absolutely. Without a thought,” Natalie told Fox News.
A little more reluctant, Darrel said: “I’d give it a second thought. But for a family to be together, probably, yes.”
Last month, a woman named Sabrina posted a TikTok video that went viral saying an airline worker asked if she would switch her front-row first-class seat so a teenager could sit with their family.
She denied the request and wrote in the video’s caption: “That’s a no from me dawg. Would you have given up your seat? Also they ended up finding a solution so no, I am not a terrible human being. Also the child was like 13.”
Sabrina told Fox News she was offered a seat in the back of first class in exchange for her first row seat. She said she still feels comfortable with her decision.
“The ticket was NOT cheap and I booked my seat in advance to make sure I treat myself to a nice experience as a reward for finishing my PhD,” she said.
TikTok users’ comments on the video overwhelmingly supported Sabrina’s decision.
One person commented on the video, “As a mom, I’m on your side. If they wanted to sit together they should have made sure the seats were together.”
Parents should be ashamed of themselves and the virtue-signalers be DAM*ED!
In similar circumstances I would also say “NO”. If the child is normal and. Did not require constant attention from being medically compromised there is NO reason to inconvenience someone else.
obviously the parents didn’t want to be inconvenienced! $$
