Airline responds to breast-feeding incident; actions were 'contrary to the Company's expectations' (Burlington Free Press)

Freedom Airlines has issued a response to an incident last month on one of the airline's flights departing Burlington International Airport. On Oct. 13, a flight attendant asked a breast-feeding mother to cover up, then asked the mother to leave the airplane when the mother refused.
