Doesn't take too much of an imagination for the reader to figure out how the UA President got to be the UA President, and it makes one feel sorry for all those in the organization beneath him.
I've purchased tickets to sporting events as well as concerts, not once did I purchase blindly without knowing what I was buying. Thankfully majority of parents take responsibility, as do I when traveling with my wife and kids. The other group that thinks their issues should be mine, well I'm less sympathetic. That said, research my history on FT, I go above and beyond for families and have taken a middle seat more than once to help others, but I don't think that should be demanded, nor do I think UA should protect you from yourself.
