And the problem with that is???????


Aside from safety issues, all I want is the reasonable comfort and enjoyment of my space, which includes:

If people cannot fit into their seats, they do not have the right to ooze into mine.

If parents cannot control their toddlers/children then they should not be flying. Babies are sort of an exception - to me, anyway - as they are simply too young to be intentionally behaving badly. The question is how the airline can respond to a poorly behaved child/parent mid-flight. They can't reasonably be expected to make an unscheduled stop to deplane the offenders. I agree with OP that all pax should have an assigned seat. No lap babies.

Seat jacking? Throw them off the plane. I can understand a simple mistake or even an attempt to jack an aisle seat, but if it's a case of sitting in F/J with a Y BP, or arguing with an FA about not wanting to go back to their assigned seat, then off with their heads!

Really smelly pax, they gotta leave.

Some things can be handled at the gate or just after boarding. For those cases that can't (eg, screaming kids with parents who don't even try to control them), maybe the only solution is to either ban them from future flights or have a CoC that allows airlines to fine pax after the fact. Maybe a $500 fine will keep those pax from flying AnalAir a second time.
