I don't know about that - (many times) I've seen flight attendants pick up crying babies and soothe them as they walk them up and down the aisle. It's a pretty cool sight.
That’s not from liking kids, that’s from liking their own hearing. I don’t like kids but I’ve picked up friends kids that were getting ready to blowup, just to avoid the damage. A quiet baby in your arms is always better than a screaming baby anywhere.
