TH. The comment about not having kids so you cant complain was as sarcastic as the rest.
In general. I dont think many people hate children on flights. They hate the fact that parents go into vacation mode and figure the FA or whoever will deal with it and dont try to handle their children. Its all about image. If it looks like you're trying others wont get as angry and may even help.
One child ruined what was left of my first SG experience squatting on the seat back (yes on top of the seat back) jumping up and down from there.
ONLY the head FA did anything. And as soon as she went back to first class he was right at it again. Parents, they didnt care. Other FAs. Nope not them either.
Disappointed I had to deal with this child across the aisle and a seat infront so if when he fell and cried it was right in my face, yes. But I blame the parents. And their total lack of caring.
I've flown with some of your children. And for the very most part those with parents on here are well behaved. Because you parents attend to them. Its when the parents ignore the situation that we the childless get so angry.
And for the record I support and would pay a premium to fly an airline banning children. But since no one including myself has started one I believe we should ALL work to make the shared cabin better.
