All these points have been made ad-nauseum in prior FT threads. But since some people can't seem to get enough of the debate, here goes:
Seth,
The parents you call stupid know their children much better than you do. What may appear to you as indifference toward their kids' behavior is very possibly the the lesser of two evils. Most kids' crying fits are a lot worse than their harmless play.
I really feel for you. How could anyone be expected to put up with the dreaded Cheerios?!?
Your money, elite status, miles, or even the important meeting you need to prepare for don't entitle you to freedom from the rest of the human race. And that includes misbehaving babies and toddlers. Sorry.</font>
I do not expect freedom from the rest of the human race. I do, however, expect people to control their kids. Again, it comes down to the arguement that YOUR kids should not infringe on MY rights to a reasonable flight.
This arguement will never be settled, as both sides have clear views of what is right and wrong.

As God as my witness, I will never fly coach again. <sorry Scarlet>
