why must it be expressed as ANTI-CHILDREN
It could also be expressed as PRO-ADULT or PRO-WORKING TRAVELER
Two years ago I was flying back and forth to Florida 3 days a week for 4 weeks for a trial involving one of my trust clients and his holdings there.
I needed the ability to work on the planes. The client was paying big money for first class seats and my time so that I could work in transit (it was tax season so I could not stay in Florida for a month).
Most of the time I was able to work, but on three flights the poor behavior of young children, not well supervised by their parent(s), did not allow concentration. If an airline had an ADULT ONLY zone, even at a premium I’d have booked it.
Since then if I MUST work on a flight en route to a trial/client I use NetJets. The client pays and I am productive. It doesn’t make sense for a client to be paying a billing rate of $500+ per hour plus the cost of a first class ticket and have me unable to work.
If flying on a pleasure trip I don’t mind children nearby, as long as one is not kicking the back of my seat.
