2 things.

One) I pointed out that other airlines now want to make families pay more just so they can sit with their OWN kids, and

Two) (this was the kicker) I reminded everyone that once the dreaded men were scooted away from the unaccompanied minors, who would be left to be drafted as the de facto traveling companions for these kids? That's right, adult women flyers. "Here you go, ladies! We know you're safe, why don't you watch over the stranger's 10 year old we've plopped you next to! You won't mind, womanly caregiving natural nurturer that you are!"

Um. Ah. Well. Ah. Um. Ahhh.
