Default Sitting together is "NO MORE" on US-based airlines

One of the few flights I could guarantee you can sit together on is a one-stop flight to a town near my home--Worland, Wyoming (WRL.) This is an Essential Air Service flight with, rarely, more than 10 people. Otherwise, people must accept the idea that sitting together is pretty much out of the question. For this reason I strongly urge parents with small children to give Amtrak a second look before considering flying on a domestic trip. There have been a few instances of a child sitting next to a stranger on a plane; being sexually molested, and the crew does nothing about it. Amtrak, as most people know, offers a fully-enclosed compartment (sleeping accomodations) which guarantee everyone will be seated together--and be safe. The cost is, substantially, more than flying. However I think few would say that a $99 fare is worth risking the safety of your child.
