I disagree. To those of us who fly on a weekly basis, this is a welcome departure. We have all been subjected to too many brats and too many wimpy parents for too many, too long flights. If a US airline made it a policy to kick parent of uncontrolled children (any children disturbing other passengers) off of a flight without refund or apology, THAT airline would get a CRUSH of business!!

I wonder if these were the same parents I encountered on a flight from Amsterdam to Toronto a few years back. They seemed to believe the front section on the plane (747-400) was they're out-of-control-brat's personal playground.

I applaud BA for this. Personally I think any child who can't behave himself on a plane should be sent as cargo.
