And Iīm sorry, but I really cannot agree with you thinking that the fact that you and your kids might be generating more revenue for the airline than somebody else can justify their eventual ill behaviour.
Having said that, I really donīt mind children being children on an airplane. It has happened and will happen again. What upsets me are parents thinking that they are ENTITLED to their childīs poor behaviour because of whatever reason.
My wife and I feel really bad on those 5% of the time were my kids do act up. We study what went wrong and improve it for next time.
My two points is that
1) That's life...sorry. Children are children. Again...sorry.
2) Their revenue does NOT justify their eventual ill behavior, but it does justify the airlines. The free market has spoken and accepted it. If you owned an airline you would do the same.
Again, we have travel hundreds of thousands of miles in the last two years, I am comfortable is saying that my children are in the top 1% of children travelers and probably in the the top 25% of adult travelers.
