I can understand if someone is watching a movie or playing a game without headphones. That is a valid complaint. I can understand people being irritated by a barking dog. That is a valid complaint.
The world is noisy. If you don't travel with headphones and/or earplugs, then that's on you.
Kudos to this flight crew.

They don't think that babies should be on airplanes at all. Or in restaurants. Basically anywhere but at home. Thankfully most parents are not close-minded like that. Keeping your children at home and never interacting with the outside world is what the Duggars do, and now that half of them are grown up, the evidence is clear -- they all suffer from emotional immaturity.
In other words, keeping your kids isolated from society will PREVENT them from growing up, resulting in "child-like" adults who cannot function independently. Sad.
