Sarcasm not withstanding, the times when a baby has to fly are virtually nil. It may be more convenient for the lifestyle of the parents, but it is almost never required. And, most Americans think "if it is was is most convenient for me, I do not care what suffering it may inflict upon others."
Yes, some adults can be disruptive as well, and I do not hold them in high regard either. But, that's not the discussion at hand. Subjecting others in a confined area to a baby screaming is rude and thus a sign of bad character.</font>
I apologise for sarcasm. But the reality is thatchildren in flight can not be banned. it is childish to think that a child is taken on a flight for frivolous reasons. Their are children whose grand parents live halfway across the world. The point is that we have to allow babies to be babies. It's not to excuse misbehaved children. It is more pleasant to not have a screaming baby on your flight, but if there is one, you have to be a gentleman and put up with it.
