As the parent of a 3 month old who already has a passport and GE, encountering passengers like this is my worst nightmare. To date, a lot of his travels are for necessity, not pleasure, so a lot of times I don't have a choice of whether or not he goes on a plane. Trust me, I don't want my son to cry either (mainly b/c it means they are in pain), but you better believe I am doing everything in my power to comfort (and quiet them for the benefit of everyone around us) either by feeding, rocking, paci, burping, etc. You complaining about the crying is most definitely not helping the situation and is probably just stressing me out a lot more...

As for saying babies should be in the back of the bus, get over yourself diver858...a lot of airlines have bassinets in F for a reason. If you don't like it, then fly private.
