ICTChris Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Private jets have a much higher rate of failure (ie crashing) than commercial airliners. So if Granny Danger were to take private jets on his constant holidaying he’d probably be dead by the end of the year.

While private aircraft as a whole have a significantly higher crash risk, private jets are actually only a couple of times more likely to have an accident than commercial aviation. It’s all those low time and student pilots in small Cessnas and such that drive the numbers up. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say twice the rate is "much higher" 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your concern Chris, but now I live in sunny climes I fly far less often than when I lived in dreich Scotland. Plus, sadly, I cannot afford private jets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all cases, it’s safer than driving. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying more to get away from brats won't mean your trip will be any better. Leave the wife/husband at home next time then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wee boy has travelled transatlantic 12 odd times and flown all over Europe and behaved great. If a kid cries on a plane id rather listen to that than someone who thinks theyve been elected to sing to the whole plane etc. On 01/09/2023 at 18:38, DrewDon said: I don't have any thoughts on this particular proposal, but I am usually a bit sceptical of people who make a thing out of being intolerant towards children and young people.

djchapsticks Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Sat on a flight to Spain yesterday across from an English couple and their 4 kids. The wee girl, about 7 or 8 sat next to me and was pleasant but a wee fidget. At one point she sat down and elbowed my arm as I was pouring my Jack Daniels and she spilled it on me, pretty mich drowned my left leg and t-shirt. I turned round instinctively thinking FFS and she was looking at me in horror, her wee lip trembling so immediately I caught on and told her it was fine, don't worry and accidents happen. The mum, who was across the aisle gave me an apologetic look and I sort of shrugged and smiled. A row back from them was another family of six with dad in front with about a 4 year old and a 2 year old and mum one row back with i'd say a 5 year old and the 2 year old's twin. The twin with the mum was getting fidgety as flight was taxiing and she loudly proclaimed that if he 'didn't rap his fuckin shite, I swear to god ill rattle your arse', to a two year old baby FFS. The 4 year old, excited said 'when do we go on the plane' and she tutted and went 'we're on the plane the now ya mongo' The problem in nearly 100% of cases isn't children, it's parents.

HoBNob Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Since the wee guy came last October we've had two weddings, with another by the end of the year and another three next year, each wedding is different however with none of them being immediate family I don't really see the point in a <2 year old being there. Realistically he'd be bored for the most part, he'd far rather be at one of the grandparents going to a park/softplay/watching barney. A wedding isn't exactly a fun environment for a baby/toddler. From a parents perspective we'd then be trying to keep him entertained for the day. And probably most importantly, the bride/groom who have spunked a shed load of cash don't need the little one piping up during the ceremony. In the same way I wouldn't take my kid to a pub, some events/locations just aren't suited for kids of a certain age. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
