TORONTO – Airline passengers easily annoyed by rambunctious children are sighing in relief after numerous Canadian airlines announced they will now require all disruptive children to be checked into cargo.
“After hearing years of complaints from customers, we’ve decided that young, unruly passengers don’t belong in the cabin” said Air Canada representative Morgan Chow. “If you have difficult children, you must check them into cargo three hours before international flights and one hour before domestic ones. This service comes with a $50 fee per child.”
Air Canada, WestJet and other national carriers agreed that infants should behave more like fellow adult passengers.
“I’m really happy about this decision,” said businesswoman Chelsea Raul who recently experienced the trauma of having to endure several minutes of a baby crying on her flight from Toronto to Montreal. “This one-year-old was behaving like such a baby. It was like he was going die or something. Doesn’t he know that, statistically speaking, you’re more likely to die in a car than a plane? Ugh, there’s no excuses for such behaviour.”
Immediately after implementing the baby-cargo policy, Air Canada reported several missing children.
