YOU deal with that reality.

P.S. - I have kids and I have traveled with kids. But I HATE when children disrupt the flight. But that doesn't change the system.
Sorry, but my brother, who is a transportation attorney for a major airline, not only disagrees with you but cites relevant FAA regulations covering the rights of airlines to refuse service. I think his opinion carries far more weight than your cliched stammering.
