Two Class Aircraft

There's news today that Southwest are taking some steps to make it easier for parents travelling with young children by reserving the first few rows of seats for them. It reminded me of Robert Benchley's comment. "In America there are two classes of travel - first class and with children." Benchley died in 1945 so what an earth would he have said now?

KidEx Anyone?

WestJet, a Canadian airline lost a seven-year-old boy who was travelling alone as an 'unaccompanied minor' a few days ago; the lad was on his route to visit his grandmother on Vancouver Island. Despite wearing a tag around his neck that identified him to airline employees as an unaccompanied minor, he was not escorted off the flight at the airport in Comox, British Columbia. Nothing actually happened to the boy who was met at the airport; it was just that he was not escorted. It's been suggested that it would have been safer to ship the boy FedEx.

Maybe there's a business here - KidEx?
