I'm an adult with adult responsibilities and obligations. Occasionally I do have to be on a plane. That child's presence is almost certainly not required somewhere with such urgency that they simply must be on a plane. Also I can and do behave myself so I don't need to be justified. Babies usually can't and don't, which is why we're having this conversation in the first place
We can leave the child’s travel urgency and behaviour out of this, I think. Kids don’t decide to travel on a plane, and they behave how they do. This is really about the parents. They are the ones taking their children on planes. So, they are adults with responsibilities and obligations which includes caring for their children and usually that means bringing them with them on planes.
We need a travel justification board so only truly necessary air travel is authorized and approved. Nein. No babiez on ze plane
Consider it the price you pay for travel freedom.
Maybe let's chill on comparing people who don't want to be annoyed by babies on airplanes to nazis?
Yeah, fair. German speaking people however do seem to love processes and rules. I wasn't actually thinking of Nazis, just the German stereotypes.
"Oi, you got a licence for that baby?"
