Even if you only think about your own comfort, it only becomes worse for you if there is no bassinet and you say to families that they must hold their very young infants the entire flight, rather than put them down on a flat surface to sleep. That scenario will end up being even noisier as the infant is less likely to sleep as much. And what argument would you make to justify taking the bassinet away anyways? The space exists and it costs very little to provide this additional amenity. And people pay for it. Saying no to bassinets just seems cruel.
preferred seating is a seat which customer must pay extra. not always a bassinet. example: a380 with upper deck (the second seat from the back - and by no means a bassinet).

when i said a section of the plane with no babies. that means malaysian styles: bassinet are on that flight, but far away from people who pay extra to be put away from children. think before replying.

i meant to say why sq should abolish preferred seating is because i won't pay extra for such a thing (useless), but would pay extra for a baby-free section of the plane.

in case you really don't kow what i am talking about:
