I dont know what to think of that.

On one hand, I really see the pilots perspective. I mean any incident could turn badly quick in such a small space like an airplane, specially in mid air.

On the other hand, if the kid was starting to calm down, maybe there really wasnt an issue.

This is why I couldn't be a pilot, I'd boot him out at 30,000 feet. But thats just me

I'm sorry to hear your loss, but you're a long way from a grief counsilour. For a loss like that I seriously suggest professional help, I saw a co-worker go downhill too proud to get help. I'm not saying to be a Ahole but seriously I had a co-worker go from being a successful shop foreman to a guy who couldn't handle being a simple delivery driver (as i am) get help RIGHT NOW!
but just saying the rest off us don't need to hear your offspring fuss

I agree but where does one draw the line? Ive been on enough flights to realize that there are alot more noisy people then kids.

So why should that line be drawn as an offspring, and not some jackass blabbing about this, that, or the other thing?

I also like the idea of seperate sections for people with kids, but what do ya do about noisey drunks, or snorer's, etc.?

I apologize for my comment ..but a kid is not a threat to the safety of the plane ..a drunk is ..and they serve booze on a plane ..in my book the pilot is a twit..and I can fly any other airline if that is how they treat kids and family's ..
