    As Delta, American and United hold back more seats for corporate customers and elite frequent fliers, parents must pay to sit with toddlershttps://on.wsj.com/2N6Vnpf

        I would just let the elites and corporate customers sit next to my toddler. See how they enjoy that.

        No, I’m pretty sure the fliers who get stuck with another passrnger’s toddlers are the ones paying for it.

        Next paragraph to the story, a child is sexually molested on the plane, or straight up abducted and the airline gets sued for being totally at fault. At what point, do these executives actually use common sense?

        Wonder what these companies would do if people just stopped taking their abuse and stopped flying with them?

        I would have been fine with letting some high-flying elite traveler sit with my toddler when my kids were that age. As long as they have the right snacks and wipes on hand, I’d be happy to read my book instead.

        I thought it has always been an FAA regulation that airlines do all that's reasonable to make sure that families sit together.

        I’m ok with people paying extra for their kids. I’m ok with the kids being sedated and duct taped to their seats.

        Reading these comments brings to mind the temper tantrum some customers throw if they do not get the exact seat they are assigned or chose. (Ann Coulter) There is always a way to sit together if you plan ahead unless you are a non rev.

        True, happened to me this summer on AA flight from RDU to LHR. Some nice passengers offered to exchange seats on the plane .

        I thought this was unreal until it actually happened to me! I could not believe that’s even a thing! Someone has to switch his seat for me.

        This has to be a fkn safety risk for children. Fk airlines. They gonna sit the kids next to pedophile s and people watching porn. Keep everyone next to each other when they book tickets. Sad, a law needs to be made!!
