Boohoo. News Flash - Even in the front of the plane, it's a public conveyance

Some awesome popcorn posts here.  Your posts on this subject are unintentionally hilarious.  Please, there are plenty of good reasons to fly with small kids.  Are you so obtuse as not to realize how many people have jobs that necessitate flying with their families - often on much longer flights than Hawaii?  Look, I also can't stand the parents that do nothing to try and control a child and think a 777 is a jungle gym.  But sometimes, even the best-behaved kids have their moments.  Or are you going to advocate the strap next?

The funniest part of your post to me is how self-unaware and simultaneously self-important and righteous you manage to sound.  Sorry, but expecting flights to and from the islands to be bastions of airborne behavior is just silly.  Other than some flights I have had out of Lagos and Kinshasa (as well as the unfortunate experience of London to Prague with hen and stag parties onboard), Hawaii flights are tourist routes, they are prone to all sorts of disturbances.  I thought every big, important air traveler knew that.  Guess not.

Another amusing part of your post is that you think everybody on the plane is noting and appreciating your great behavior.  They're not, and they're not going to give you the medal you seem to seek.  I fly about two round trips a month - many of them intercontinental.  It's hilarious, but you are a caricature of the important guy I see too frequently who has managed himself a biz, or wow, even a first-class seat.  Nobody cares.  And we see you coming from a mile away.  You expect the front of the fuselage to be your own personal Gulfstream V.  Well, it's not.  It's still a public conveyance, and one of the most ironic parts about public air travel is that regardless of what you paid for that seat, you are still stuck in the exact same aluminum or carbon fiber tube, breathing the same recycled air as the people you despise.

So if you want the benefits of a non-public seat, then pony up the dough, big spender!  Fly private or charter.

And sorry, I lied.  Because your caricature is so obvious in airports worldwide, while most people don't care - the flight attendants do hate you as much as the bratty kid with the parents who are equally problematic.
