Much to my dismay, I'm gonna stay out of the branding conversation and address the 3 year old. You know what, I think it's bs....If the airlines don't want screaming kids then set an age requirement. Now I've flown what I would consider a huge amount of miles and there have been times when I was miserable because of a kid or the "Oh dear" of the person beside me, but the way I look at it is we all have bad days, you just deal with it. Worst flight I was ever on. You couldn't dream this one up. I was on a flight from LA to Tokyo with a stop in Anchorage and Seoul. From LA to Anchorage it was a piece of cake, plenty of room, lots of peace and quiet and then we picked up in Anchorage. The plane was 4 seats, isle, 10 seats, isle, 4 seats. I was in the middle of the 10 seat section and it just so happened that the airline messed up or those were the only seats available but I had a family of 8 or 9 with 4 to my left and the other 4 or 5 to my right. The didn't speak english, which is usually not a big deal unless you are the middle man between all their peanut and snack trading. It was so bad it was funny. I tried to get them to switch seats and they said no. I tried to get another seat on the plane and it was full after the Anchorage pick up. 12 hours of passing peanuts, magazines, or whatever else was catching their attention at the time. I think back and still laugh about it.

But if a 40 year old man refused to take his seat before takeoff and was climbing underneath the seats -- and then his friend asked the flight attendant if the 40 year old man could sit on his lap.....

.....do you think they would have let the 40 year old man remain on the flight? Or more importantly, would you call that "bs" too?

It was pretty clear that they didn't get kicked off because the kid was annoying, but because the kid was not playing by the rules. The kid sits in the assigned seat during takeoff or they don't fly, I do it, you do it, everyone does it.

Rules are rules, and these days when it comes to air travel, you either follow them or...you rent a car.

the risk of having screaming kids is one thing....FAA Rules and regs regarding take-off is another. you have to be in your seat and belted--they delayed for 15 minutes while the little darling slapped mommy and daddy around and played hide and seek. why should over 100 others be kept waiting while junior has a fit? they did the right thing, it's the same that would be done about any unruly passenger-regardless of age.

can't wait til she's 15....

I would rather sit next to a screaming child on a flight as opposed to a fat woman.

Kids dont bother me nearly as much as sloppy pigs, or stinky grown ups.

I'm not suggesting safety issues or regs should be overlooked, I was simply saying that I understand the screaming kid thing.

It wasn't because the kid was screaming and yelling, BUT because the kid wouldn't sit in her seat. My mom would have grabbed my ear, sat me down and buckled my seat belt. I wouldn't have dared move for the entire flight!

I do say I can appreciate your story about being the "middleman". I had a three and a half hour flight between an old couple. It was quite comical now. Everytime I tried to fall asleep one would need something and bump me in the process of handing it to the other.
