767-300 in First Class with Baby
I have a flight 3 seats in First Class with a one year old baby on a 767-300. Which seats would be best to take?
I am unsure if the last row is the best or the first row? I would like to disturb others as least as possible.
Thanks in Advance

Last row would be best, as the first row of coach is "screaming baby section", so your infant would simply be joining the chorus. Thanks for being considerate of your fellow passengers.

It really doesn't matter which row you occupy. They're all the same. If your baby cries, my experience is that they need fed or changed. After that, they tend to go back to sleep.
Is your baby going to be in a car seat in their own seat in F? If so, then I suggest reserving a B, D and G in the same row and placing the infant in D between the other two. That way, either one of the adults can tend to the baby (or D, G and H, with infant in G).

Years of experience. If the infant will occupy a car seat, that seat may only be placed in a window seat (A or J) or either seat of the middle section (D or G). The seat may not be placed in B or H seats. Thus, placing the car seat in D or G, with adults on either side, makes it easier for either adult to quickly attend to the infant. OTOH, if the infant is in a window seat, the adult not occupying the adjacent aisle seat cannot quickly attend to the baby.

Until recently, it was published in the Agency Reference section of aa.com, but like many other portions of the lousy AA website, the discussion of permissible locations for infant car seats appears to have disappeared. It's in the manual the FAs carry, so they can verify it.

The subject of the sentence is clearly "this" (shorthand for the rule) as it is the one being "known." So, since the verb in parenthesis (to be published) is related to the verb of the subject (one can be known by being published), seems right to me.

"... now that we have our own little one" is a subordinate clause to the first part of the sentence, and hence its own grammatical unit. The placement of the parenthetical statement next to this clause suggests that it's in reference to the "little one" (though it is kind of a grey area).

Yeah, I'll acknowledge the placement could have been better.
Does crayon art on the walls count as being published?
