“You know what we need? We need an airline just for people with babies (it could be called “Shrieking Prairie Dogs From Hell Airlines”).”
Probably a more civilized solution than my suggestion that all children under the age of 12 travel as checked baggage.
Duct tape works fairly well.
I am surprised that the airlines have not implemented a child-surcharge.
I recently flew from australia and was assigned a seat in the row in front of the TV screen — ie., baby row. There were three spawns of satan who took it in turns to shriek all the way across the Pacific. For the last hour, they were a demonic chorus.
I’d have been angrier, except that 20 years my own child did the same things to innocent passengers. it’s karma.
