Happy to concede that point, in an ideal world, as I said, the grandson would not have been in that seat.

I just don't see it as that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

As long as we stay in the realms of it working out fine the vast majority of the time then I'm not bothered.

Out of thousands of flights we are struggling to find even a handful of examples where it went wrong.

If that changes then my view may change, but until then I'm prepared to give RM enough slack to keep trying to make money where they can ...
