FAA spokesman:

"The FAA is not amused"

Which begs the question, When were grey suited 1960s styled bureaucrats at the FAA ever amused at anything?

By the way, the folks at airlinenightmare.com asked me to thank all the pilots here for all your positive support and messages!

Good grief what is this world coming to. Maybe it would have been better if mommy had taken little Johnny to see how porn movies are made. I don't feel safety was compromised at all since dad was right there and all he did was clear the jet for takeoff. I think the kid did a dam fine job. How would you like to be a passenger on this airline with a V1 cut into bad weather.

This^^^^^^^^^^^^ is the problem. So much for the needs of the many, eh?

Well, I'm feeling a little bit frisky today, so what the heck....I'll play Devil's Advocate.

Let's start with a little Quiz: You're flying along fat dumb and happy, and the Captain (or F/O as the case may be) turns to you and says "Hey, my kid is in back. He's going to go on the layover with me, do you mind if I bring him up on the jumpseat. I promise he won't touch any of the controls and besides, 20 or 30 years ago, we used to do this all the time"

What do you say in response and why?

I'd probably say "Well its only fair, since you let my kid do the same last week..."
