speaking of...

...out-of-control kids, what's the deal with kids flipping out and screaming their heads off whenever they get on planes? I won't go into the details of my late-night return trip from Vegas this past Tuesday (and Wednesday morning), as you've heard it all before in some fashion. But why haven't airlines come out with a simple way of controlling this? Sure, first class would do the trick, but not all of us have cash flowing out of our pockets. How about reserving, say, the last 10-15 rows of coach for adults only? Or doing the opposite and putting kids in the first several rows so they can get on and off faster? Does anyone not think this would be well-received by enough travelers to justify a slight price increase and offset any negative PR from various blowhards? I'm sure the airlines would then seize the opportunity to jack up those prices, but it couldn't be as high as first class. I'd probably shell out for them. Geez...come on, fellas. End the suffering already!
