Yes...let's ban children from flights...at least until they stop throwing fits...let's say around age 6. And we should also ban old folks. You know...the ones who tend to have heart attacks and cause medical diversions...I think age 60 is a good cut-off point. And of course folks from the fine State of New York because they talk louder than folks from, say, Texas.
Get a life folks. Everyone has the right to fly if they pay. If you don't like it, drive to Europe. If I buy a seat for my kids, why should I sit in the back if I've paid for the seats just like you have. Good thing none of you were ever children and threw fits.
These threads show up on FlyerTalk all the time, they drive me completely insane. My point of view:
- Your enfant may be special to you
- Your little Johnny with ADD may be special to you
- Your Grandmother with Alzheimer’s my be special to you
- Your 500 lbs body may be special to you
- Your 15 preflight cocktails may be special to you
- Your elite status may be special to you
None of these are special to me. All I want is the seat I paid for. And for no one seated next to be to make my flight miserable.
We have become a society were because your “special” you get to make me miserable. Fire away, I can take it.
