He’d rather sit next to the Underwear Bomber. Seriously, I hope the parents of today have the sense to calm their crying/fussy children on long haul flights.
“Seriously, I hope the parents of today have the sense to calm their crying/fussy children on long haul flights.”If passenger trains were more affordable, riding the rails would be a better option for kids. I’ve been told it’s the change in air pressure “popping” your ears is what sends the wee ones ballistic.
I just finished a contract for an airport this summer, and while I was walking through the concourse, I noticed it was the day all the kids went home from summer camp, so there must have been close to 700 8-14 year olds running around. Since I had an airport badge on, one of the adult passengers asked me why there were so many children running around. I told him “they have just finished six weeks of summer camp. Now we are loading them up on the first caffeine and sugar highs they’ve had in a month, and then putting them on YOUR plane.”He didn’t seem amused.
Actually, there IS a physical problem with little ones, like infants to deal with on flights, but the REAL problem is just like dealing with dogs, bad behavior of older ones is usually the trainer’s fault, not the “dog’s”.
i like flight, flying, planes, but i loathe airports, and airlines. the nickel and dime you on fees on bags, seats, food, drink, etc…how about putting high speed rail? and, the recent news of delays because of flight attendants fighting, love triangle bomb hoax, pilots drunk…

Excellent response, Fourcrows.

I told the teacher to slap the kid next to mine, which would frighten him into behaving.
