Unless, of course, that passenger is a young child. Then the passenger can fly with no restraint system at all - and no emergency oxygen, either.

So we put children at risk that is unacceptable for adults? That is a very sick system we have developed.

Why not watch the video yourself? Maybe I'm wrong and who knows what was said before the video began recording. I just find it odd that we are hearing so many new facts that didn't come up in the video.

There are extra oxygen masks for lap infants. It's the responsibility of the flight attendants and gate agents to make sure lap infants are placed into seats where they will be accessible. (So no three lap infants in the same non-bulkhead row because there aren't that many extras per row)

there are four oxygen masks in each 3 seat cluster. So more than one lap child in a 3 seat cluster is not a good idea.

Any thoughts on this latest airline incident?

Um, the rule is the rule. You CANNOT transfer seat. You can't just make up your own rule. People these days.

Post is nonsense. You can perfectly well transfer a seat if the airline agrees. Delta did. And Delta has never denied agreeing.

From the reality of the fact that is exactly what happened?
