Airlines owe apology to nursing mother (Burlington Free Press)

Three little words that Delta and Freedom airlines need to use in a big way: We are sorry.

Gillette, who was seated by the window in the second-to-last row of the plane, said she was embarrassed when a flight attendant asked her to cover up with a blanket as she nursed her child. When Gillette refused, the attendant allegedly told the young mother that she was offended and asked the family to leave the plane.
