Linda is sus. I saw her go in the vents.
She may be engineer
Does anyone remember if they were enabled?
She brought a bag of chips and just will not stop noisily eating while you're trying to nap, obviously.
Am I the only one who wears earplugs on an airplane? Planes are loud as fuck and it’s exhausting. I always wear earplugs, and put noise cancelling headphones over them.
She took her shoes off and put her feet up by your arm rest.
I'll throw her out myself!
She sits in the window seat, goes to the toilet every 27 minutes, and refuses all offers to switch with the aisle seat.
She took both arm rests and is acting entitled about it
Okay but looks like a middle seat so I think it's fair they get both armrests. It's like a consolation prize for having the worst spot
a crime for which she must parish
People say Delta is cutting edge with this, but Spirit has been doing this on a barter system for years.
could you fucking imagine LMAO
"the flights only $1200, why do we need to save an extra $3000?"
I see first class passengers ejecting random peasants for fun.
Linda is fine. Her non-stop crying baby on the other hand...
When my kids were infants, the last 1hr flight left em cranky and tired. At midnight, the cabin lights were dim and my son was wailing. My wife and I felt so bad for him and the fellow passengers as we tried desperately to comfort him. I vividly recall looking up and seeing quite a few weary, yet smiling faces as folks quietly supported us. That moment has stayed with me, and if you have a crying infant on a plane you'll get nothing but quiet support from me.
I was on a flight where the parents of a one year old brought a big bag of those cheap yellow and red ear plugs and just started passing them around the cabin. We amazingly didn't need them, but I have never forgotten that gesture. I'm pretty sure the flight attendants gave them all the drinks they wanted just for that.
I get it. I guarantee you, though, that Linda is having a much, much worse time than you are with the baby.
Nothing like being at ground zero and having nothing work and everyone on the plane judge you.
My kids were pretty good as infants on planes, but every peep they make makes you feel like major inconvenience
That's why I'm suggesting to eject the baby, Linda can stay!
You feel like a major inconvenience because you are, as a direct consequence of choosing to fly with your infant despite the likely consequences for others.
Sometimes it's impractical to travel otherwise.
Then you shouldn't take the trip. It's a sacrifice you're expected to make to uphold the social contract when your children are young.
What if my mom, who lives on the east coast, and hours by plane away, died suddenly and I'm unable to find a sitter?
What if the situation was reversed: the people who took planes were predominantly those with kids, and you needed to go somewhere?
What if someone imposed a 5 year travel ban on you?

You stay home.

Kids aren't a problem. It's screaming infants.

It was 10 years. I served 9. Now what?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We clearly have different viewpoints. Not much to be gained by continuing this discussion
Wtf hellscape is this? Is this like the last chopper out of Saigon or something?
It’s some techno-libertarian’s wet dream
To the mooooooon
Is this a video game?
No, some guy on twitter with horrible concepts: https://x.com/soren_iverson/
Man, getting Soren Iverson onto the Fediverse would be sick
I’m sure the optics would be terrible but could I make the slightly less radical proposal of paying extra for a section without children?
