overhead bin class

Gargle Jus · 12-30-2007, 08:57 PM

i got a great idea!

for screaming babies on airplanes they should be put in the overhead bins
the air conditioning can be partly redirected up into the space to regulate the air. the idea of "overhead bin class" should be introduced and the back 3 aisles of economy class should be converted to accomodate people with screaming babies. and airlines should have 6 mattress/pillow/seatbelt combo things.
when the seatbelt sign is turned off parents may put their screaming babies in the overhead bins where the baby will realise that it's dark and there's no reason to complain nor will there be any point. he will simply fall asleep.
other kinks can easily be worked out.

Just watch out for falling babies when the turbulence hits!

Why not just make a storage compartment in the cargo area to load babies into? You could heat and pressurize it, and check your babies on like luggage! Cool!

Gargle Jus · 12-30-2007, 11:02 PM

overhead bin sounds funnier though lol

--i hate noisy babies!

Thats where the animal's travel. I think you need to be at LEAST 5 years old to fly.....period. Parents should be detained an arrested if their kids get up and run the isle. $250.00 fine for EACH kick to the back of a seat (split 50/50 with pax in said seat) and if the kid screams? 10 years in the klink.

Who's with me?

I agree. It is the responsibility of the parent(s).

That being said, if the level of maturity on this forum is any indication of the type of individuals who would take their child/children on a plane, then it shouldn't come as any surprise that their offspring would act the way you're describing, would it?

Absolutely. Trapped in a plane with a screaming kid makes you feel that no jury would convict you if you shoved the kid and the stupid parents out an exit at 30,000 ft. Same goes for bringing a baby to a movie theater or a concert

Yes it is! It's not fair on the poor kids being dragged along on a 10 hour flight just because their parents "need" a holiday. Then they spend the next fortnight in the kids club while the parents enjoy the beach and the bar.

I may be old fashioned, but I holiday here in the UK with my kids and they seem to enjoy it. We do loads of great things.

I did take them on aircraft from an early age, but only on short flights (up to 60 minutes) to visit relatives and they were always kept under control, occupied and were well behaved. It shouldn't be difficult to keep kids occupied with all the electronic games these days and the IFE. In my day we had colouring books and comics. (Makes me sound like a grumpy old man!)

When my family travelled back from Singapore in 1970 on a BOAC B707, they had "skycots", they hung from the overhead hatracks (no luggage bins) and the babies slept in there. Thats where my 1 year old sister stayed for most of the journey.

hmmmm... well i didn't see it from that perspective before.
i may have to agree with you on that.
maybe if the kid acts up he can just be put in the animal part of the cargo hold during mid flight.
and i'll have to agree with you aswell on the fact that they shouldn't be allowed in restauraunts/theater/concerts/grocery stores

you have all helped me to share your point of view, which i now mostly agree with

youre all takeing this too far, sorry but my 1 year old hasnt quite mastered a hand held game console yet, i often find it is arrogant adults who kick the back of your seat and put there seat back when you are trying to sit up for dinner or fat chinese guys who take up two seats on a 12 hour flight, i will be takeing my 2 children to hong kong and bali on the 17 febuary 12 + 5 hour flight so bring the ear plugs if your going to be there .

as for the kids club , the gran and grandpa kids club love haveing the kids visit as its only every 2 years they come round. not so much of a holiday for me but a fair upbringing in both familys as much as i can .

N. Eberhard · 12-31-2007, 02:05 PM

You never saw me act up on an aircraft when I was travelling at a young age with my parents. I knew my azz was grass if I even entertained the thought of screaming, kicking or the like.

Of course the very young ones are a different story. For anyone who travels frequently I would suggest some noise-cancelling headphones. It wont be church quiet but definitely tolerable.

CLE757 · 12-31-2007, 02:20 PM

no one bothered to tell me about the ear popping before landing on my first ever flight

other than that, i loved it all

i was quiet most of the time, all i was doing was looking out my window the whole time

I'm with you on this, but kids under 5 traveling in the cargo hole with the animals may also be a good way to go. Rugrats are my worst nightmare as a frequent flyer. Actually dogs are not as bad as children to travel with, they should put the dogs in the passenger compartment and the kids in the hole.

1:200Freak · 12-31-2007, 07:53 PM

I had a kid kicking my seat before we even took off one of my recent flights...kick,kick,kick...I had no choice but to tell the parent to ask their kid to quit kicking, even before the aircraft left the gate. Mind you, the parent had already drifted off to sleep. On another sector, one kid kept screaming crying while still in the lounge and then I realised the family was seated some rows ahead of me. Fortunately all that crying got the kid to sleep.

Sitting at the back of the aircraft allows excellent shots if you love photographing while take off and landing and en route as well.....Those last few seats are also reserved for the screams, cries and tantrums rows and rows away from the Business Class seats on board....Makes you wonder, are kids allowed in Business Class! Actually the last section of Economy is the one with the bassinets, am I right?

Okay kids in the overhead compartments...a bit uncomfortable to think. Kids are special in their own ways, but not on a long haul flight...Why blames kids, some moronic adults get into the seat and think they are in their couch back home!!

Master Shake747 · 12-31-2007, 09:39 PM

I was on a flight from EWR to OMA and there were two kids behind me talking loud and screaming because they didn't get any apple juice back at EWR Airport. I would have punished the child by making him or her sit on the wing for the duration of the flight if I was the parent. GRRR!!!

1:200Freak · 12-31-2007, 11:37 PM

Just curious if any here have had kids visit your home, where you planes are displayed and go running towards them! You'd definitely hear a thud not from dropping planes on to the floor, but me collapsing in fear!...I've actually had some kids come over, look at them with a total "Whatever" attitude and they leave my "kids" alone!

I suggest digging a moat around your planes then filling the moat with gators. Or landmines.

Seriously, kids are 100% NOT allowed in my apartment at all!!!!!!!

If a kid touched and broke one of my models (especially a rare one), that kid might literally go over the balcony - and I'm on the top floor of a high rise apartment!!

yyzjo777 · 01-01-2008, 02:51 AM

Are there any adults only airlines/flights out there anywhere? ... I'm not referring to Hooters Air or naked flights.
