FA's on int'l (especially longhaul) flights are usually the most senior ones. AFAIK these routes are the most lucrative ones and
new FA's have no chance in bidding for those. So I doubt he was new... maybe just didn't know how to deal with it. Come to think of it, I don't know if there is a good way to deal with it. When you deal with [bad] parents who let their kids run wild and tear everything up, it's obvious they don't care about anyone around them and they either can't or simply won't deal with their kids. Moreover, kids are used to doing whatever, so it's not like they'll suddenly change their attitude and just chill. (If it were up to me I'd put the whole family on the no-fly list.
