Not that it is at all relevant to the case, but I'd like to know what kind of "doctor" this 60+ man who threw a 2 year old's temper tantrum is.

My other concern was the involvement of a branch of the Chicago police getting involved. If I were this passenger and LEO's showed up, I would ask them what CRIME I committed, what LAW I was breaking. Since I would be a ticketed passenger in my seat minding my own business, the answer is NONE. The "fine print" and "rules" on the ticket is a contractual arrangement and therefore a CIVIL matter. The police should have informed both parties that they should work it out in civil court and left. Then , if UAL EMPLOYEES forcibly removed me, we could add another zero to the settlement check.
