Family Says They Were Forced Off Overbooked Delta Flight Over Child’s Seat

Schear, speaking to KABC News, said that he, his wife and two of their three children, ages 1 and 2, were traveling on a red-eye flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles last week. They’d bought the seat in question for their oldest child, 18-year-old Mason Schear, who ended up flying home a day earlier than the rest of the family. Schear put his younger son in Mason’s seat instead. Upon learning that Mason wasn’t present, the airline ordered Schear to surrender the seat or be carted off to jail. (The original report from KABC News indicates that the son is 2 years old, which is not consistent with the ages of the children as indicated in a May 3 Facebook post from their mother.)
