Worst F Travelers
I've had a terrible F experience on AS in the last month, not Alaskas fault, but still its hard to believe some people:
LAX -> SEA
Arrived at LAX after doing 13 hours from AU on Qantas in coach, was happy to see my F upgrade had cleared. Half empty F cabin. Right before door close, a small family (Husband / Wife, baby, 2 year old, and nanny) boarded. Everyone but nanny sat in F.
Wife was a nightmare, 2 year old was screaming, baby crying.
We take off, wife gets a porta-potty thing out of the overhead and proceeds to let her 2 yr old start to use it IN THE AISLE.
FA put a stop to this, but everyone else in F couldn't believe what we just saw.
I hate it when people book their entire family in F. Kids don't need the room.
At least it was just 2 hours of listening to the wife ..... and the babies cry.

If your kid is well behaved it doesn't really bother me....Unless my upgrade didn't clear ;-)

Also, it is low class to book your nanny in a lower class, in my opinion. Our nanny travels in the same cabin we do, rather its in the back or the front. More than that, what's the point of her being along if she isn't able to help??

Delta passengers outraged when child poops on airplane seat
Passengers on a Delta Airlines flight from Beijing to Detroit last week were horrified when a Chinese child squatted on his seat and proceeded to defecate.... A flight attendant spoke with the family but according to China Smack, “the elders were unmoved, leaving the flight attendant no choice but to drop the subject.”

We're only flying 20-35k a year, so you'll clear ahead of us. If you don't, I paid for the seat!

I forgot to mention, the Mom turned around and yelled for the Nanny a couple of times and she walked up from Row 10 or so. The FA also put a stop to this after the 2nd or 3rd time.

Hell, next time just make the kid sit with the nanny if it's going to be like that.

I know several AS FAs that DONT want kids in F class and I could NOT agree more!! Consensus I've heard is no one under 8 years old.
Recent LAX-PVR is point in case 3 or 4 year old kicks the back of my seat constantly while patents do nothing!!!
