Why doesn't CLEAR just put MSP on the coming soon list? I mean it's going to happen and on top of that it'll come around the same time as LAX -so why not come clean on the main website?

(DL has 5% stake therefore it's DL related )

Sitting in 3A SAN/SLC right now and lady in 2B with her 2/3 year old child in 3A. Dad is in 4C. Kid has been running up and back pretty much the whole flight even with the seatbelt sign on. Feel sorry for the FA who's trying to provide beverage and snack service with this ankle biter running around. I've never seen this in 25 years of flying regularly.

This is not a pathetic thing to complain about. This is absolutely reprehensible behavior on the parents' part. The kid should be forced to sit down when seatbelt sign is on and if parents don't comply they should be treated as insubordinating crewmember instructions. Clear air turbulence could send the kid into the ceiling and then into another passenger.

Not to mention the horrid lack of consideration for the crew and other passengers in the first place.

Figured the pathetic/rant thread was the proper one to post.

Do we have a "reprehensible thread" besides the DYKWIA....

Hopefully MSP doesn't respond as I'm making a serious effort to catch up to her post count.

When multiple people feel compelled to post a reply to one of the earliest posts after reading only the first page of a 7-page thread.

(Feeling sorry for GRALISTAIR )

Two things:

1) Washed my car the day before leaving on this trip. Returned today and found the hood with many bird poo drops.

2) People who pass through PreCheck and then talk/txt while leaving their bags on the xray belt while bags are backing up.
