That J cabin is not your house. You get a seat in J flying from A to B. Again, this child is not asking to eat your caviar or drink your champagne. That toilet is not yours.
Why do you get the draw the line between what part of the J experience is part of what a J ticket buys you vs. what part isn't?
And ownership is irrelevant. By your logic, if I book a single room in a hotel, should I be allowed to just walk into the Presidential Suite and tell its occupant that (s)he doesn't own the room; the hotel does?

People pay more money to fly in a smaller, quieter, more exclusive cabin. Maybe they need the peace and quiet to do work, or maybe they just want to feel special. Again, they paid for it so it's their prerogative. If they don't want to deal with Y passengers walking by them all the time, I think that's understandable.

I'll repeat my post from earlier:

Will an exception still be made from time to time for real emergencies? Sure, and I have no issues with that.
My frustration is when carriers like AC don't announce or enforce anything in this regard consistently. Then you tend to see one person come up front, followed by another, and then another... Do I blame those pax? Not at all. I blame the airline / crew for not setting expectations upfront.

That was your decision to make and good for you! But what's your point? Everyone should be more like you?
