The woman was asked to get off the plane because she was nursing her baby. I would like to know the name of the airline

It was Freedom Airlines operating out of Vermont.
Sounds more like a deliberate set-up attempt though.
The kid was just under 2 years old.

Deplane is that what you call it over there I think you will find the term is DISEMBARK. You must be thinking like a Jamaican I get on deplane and I get off deplane to go overseas. Oh well you Ozzys are so sweet. UK

GToacp (poster above) is correct, the woman was removed from the plane not for nursing but for the way she reacted to the flight attendant. As soon as you get on that plane, you are legally required to comply with the flight attendants' requests, no matter what they are asking you to do. They don't make arbitrary requests but technically, if the FA asked you to stand on your head and cluck like a chicken, you'd have to.
I wish that FA had been on a recent flight I took; I was seated across the aisle from a woman who was breast-feeding and made no effort to be private about it. I know babies have to eat but not everyone on the plane wants to watch. I think air travel would be a lot more pleasant if people tried to respect their fellow passengers a little more. So hooray for Freedom Air and Delta Airlines.

Knowing the whole story helps. In this case I don't. However, she was unlikely kicked off for nursing. It probably had to do with the passenger's reaction to the flight attendant. If she refused to cover up and got belligerent, she would be kicked off for that, not for the nursing. Remember, Nixon was not kicked out because of the B&E crime but rather for his reaction to it, namely he covered it up. In the air, there are orders from the flight crew that are to be followed even if they are silly. Just my take.

It was freedom airlines. And boy are they in trouble!!!! The flight attendant asked the passenger to "cover up" as she offered a blanket to the passenger. She had told the passenger that she was offended by her breastfeeding. Silly little flight attendant hehe!
