So just because Daddy is a pilot a small child should be held to a higher standard than any other kid? Gimme a freakin' break dude it's a kid! Even the most well behaved children have meltdowns occasionally. Get over it and yourself!

Row 6 on all Alaska aircraft is the first (bulkhead) row in coach. A mother traveling with two small children (one an infant, apparently) would probably have been seated there anyway. And just why are you irritated? Because the kid is acting up or because it's the pilot's kid? Just forget that it's the pilot's kid because it could have been any kid. Again, getting stuck on a plane with someone else's screaming child isn't fun. Been there, done that. But there is little one can do about the situation.

And just what would have that accomplished? A video of a kid having a tantrum on a plane. Who hasn't seen that? Might as well post a video of paint drying. It would be far more interesting.
