Re hyper toddlers, as long as the parent keeps them from screaming and ABSOLUTELY restrains them PHYSICALLY from kicking my seat back, I’m OK with the running back and forth. I might even manage a quick, germ-laden high five.

I have flown on a Lufthansa flight from Dulles to Frankfurt in late summer with no working AC in the back of the plane. About two hours into the flight the attendants admitted that it was not going to work and started handing out dry ice in towels to put on the back of our necks. It took me over a decade to consider flying Lufthansa again.

Why not, when it’s impossible to fire a union employee.

Anyone inconsiderate enough to bring an uncontrollable ankle-biter on a plane should be tied up, have their genitals dipped in honey and forced to sit on a fire ant hill.
