'Mr. Poopy Pants' and fees frustrate flyers

Used to dress up for Church too, and to be honest, most of the flights are for Business and salespeople who do dress up. That being said, I am getting concerned by airline cutbacks forced upon them by the economy-Used to have a pilot friend that had an interesting view of flying-He called landings "controled crashes" and his logic went like this-Everything that goes up must come down, the only question is-How hard? There has been entirely too many real hards lately and Obama's idea for a high speed train is looking better all the time-saves on gas. I would like to be assured of two Engineers though and absolutely no texting-not too happy about pilots napping and overshooting their destinations either! This auto pilot thing and gps tracking nonsense seems to have resulted in tedium that induces sleep-Let's go back to the good old days of open cockpits and barnstorming-Great fun ride!

Flying is completely over-rated and is always a nasty experience.[ I am more in favour of trains, to be honest...] Though, according to the geeks, the teleporter really is science-fiction; but we all secretly wish something like it might be a scientific reality and that it'd leave aviation in the musuem – where it belongs. But I'm not knocking the highly skilled pilots/crews and engineers – they should be looking to re-train as astronauts – space travel has to be part of the future, right?

Part of our problem with the airlines is we want two totally diverse things from them. On the one hand, we want the cheapest ride we possibly can. On the other hand, we want all the bells and whistles for the same low price. As for me, next time I'll take the train.

passengers with young children should have there own section on the planes

now this is a GREAT idea – both for the parents of young children and the children AND the the adults who need to work/think while on a flight.
As a parent of two young children who has traveld by plane, I make it a point to brings lots of activities to keep my children calm, and have been complemented on their behavior at the end of flights.
A separate section on long flights, though, would be more humane to little kids who need to move around.
I don't think this is in anyone's budget these days though.

Ontario, Canada, did a survey of 100,000 people in the autism field in order to assess how to fund autism in young children. ABA was judged the best. The complete report – 200 pages – is obtainable from the Government of Ontario. The DAN protocol was unproductive. I have a grandchild, living in England, who is doing wornderfully – despite chelation.
