Spirit boots breast-feeding woman from plane

A woman making a long-planned trip with her parents and young son says Spirit Airlines kicked the family off the plane when she didn't immediately stop breast-feeding the 2-year-old, who was restless after a long delay. Mei Rui says she asked for a few minutes to let her son fall asleep in her arms while the plane was still at the gate in Houston and other passengers were walking around. A Spirit spokesman disputed the woman's account Monday. He said Rui repeatedly failed to follow flight attendants' instructions to buckle her son into his seat after the plane's door was closed. The spokesman, Stephen Schuler, said that Rui told crew members they would have to drag her off the plane while she recorded them. The incident is the latest in a growing series of confrontations between airline passengers and crews. <br/>
