[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to see some of the never-seat-swapping posters answer the question of the last PP below! 
[quote=Anonymous]

Would you be willing to assist a 5 year old sitting next to you in s crisis? You know, put their oxygen mask on and all that and help them evacuate?[/quote][/quote]

I would not.  I would likely have my own child with me who would get my assistance first.  You know, since I was responsible enough to get seats together and all. This question makes me angry.  Take care of your own damn children.  You've never helped me with mine.[/quote]

So if you ended up with a head injury due to turbulence and couldn't help your own child, I shouldn't bother to help you or your child either? After all, you've never helped me or my child.[/quote]

You don't see the difference in intentionally sitting away from your child?
[/quote]

it isn't intentional. It is because the airlines are terrible and some passengers are jerks and won't switch seats. 
[/quote]

Oh, I see.  So instead of picking an airline that allows you to purchase seats together, you try to save money on WN or some other discount carrier and can't sit together. Isn't your child's life worth doing the most you can to sit together?

Yeah, I don't switch seats.  I have elite status on two airlines, which means I have the pick of seats and I have a reason to pick the seats I do.  I'm not giving up a premium economy seat so you can sit next to your child.  Likely you were just too cheap to purchase seats together and figured you'd get someone to switch.  Not my problem.  And I won't talk to your child, either.  I have my own child who travels with me and deserves all my attention.  Odd how we've NEVER been separated and DD has logged over 100,000 miles in two years.  So what are you doing so wrong?

Think I was always this bitter?  Guess again.  I became this bitter after being isolated after my child was born.  No one wanted to help me then, so I'll be damned if I go out of my way to help other parents now.  I can promise you the ramifications of me not helping you are a lot less than the ramifications of no one helping me out.[/quote]

You should seek therapy before you ruin your child if you haven't already. I say this in all seriousness. Life is not be this terrible and you don't have to be so angry and mean. [/quote]
