I miss Delta. Anyone racking up the MQMs?
I just got an offer from EY in London but considering based on what the maternity policy is which doesn’t seem to be spelt out in contract or benefits pdf. Does anyone know a) if there’s a minimum employment period to qualify and b) what the enhanced maternity pay is. I’ve read both 16 weeks and 18 weeks.

Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

I would consider it - especially for an international flight!

I would 100% pay for this. Though I’m less concerned now that noise canceling headphones have gotten so good.

I feel like in the US, people will try to sue for discrimination. Nothing ever works out here.

Thanks! Of the places named there, only two truly don’t allow kids.. the others that are no strollers or kids in the “casual side” are definitely common/what I’ve seen. The two that don’t allow kids, one looks like it’s primarily a golf range, so I can see how they can be kids free easier than a regular restaurant. Luigi’s Q in Long Island is the only one that seems to be unique, no kids under 12 flat out. Seems like it’s definitely legal, to the original comment re: discrimination!

I would like that so I (and my kids) don’t have to put up with some twit looking over at us every time they open their mouth
I will sue every airline that engages it this, I have 5 children and we fly frequently.
It’s parent and I would pay extra. I cannot understand why kids are permitted in 1st class.
Coz they paid. That’s capitalism
As a parent this strikes me as incredibly cruel by the airline. Yes it can be annoying to have a crying/uncomfortable child on a flight. As the parent it’s incredibly stressful in a sea of people judging you and lacking empathy.
Oh totally agree, I’d hope this would limit the amount of people judging as the option to choose child free is on the table. If someone actively chooses a kid friendly flight then they accept the risk that it may be a sleepless flight. I always feel so bad for parents juggling in these circumstances as well!

I would never pay for this, but I'm in favor of it if it means cheaper tickets for the with-children flights
No this would just mean others would adopt the business model and then traveling with children would mean a “surcharge” and extra paperwork like we do with service animals
I wound totally pay for that. This is good consulting work.
Depends on how much extra and flight. This flight seems like one I’d consider paying more but under 3 or 4 hours probably not
Why would anyone oppose that?

Better question is whether it’s economical / profitable. Not sure it is on many routes. It’s definitely legal.
If there’s demand, there’s supply
I don’t have kids but they don’t bother me that much, I usually just tune them out on long flights.
I don’t mind on a short flight … but if it’s overseas and 12+ hrs I would defiantly be interested… I once had a drink spilled on my lap from a little one when I was dead asleep on a flight to Bangkok. I also had a little one running laps in first class between pods on a flight to Brazil which was distracting to say the least haha
Don’t see how it can work. Business won’t discriminate against money from any customer type. I’ve come to terms that if I want the absolute peace, I just have to make windfall money to fly private jet. Premium classes, first and business, on commercial international long haul flights are typically pretty quiet (miles better than eco) but it’s still not a guarantee that you won’t run into a crying baby.
The only thing that works with flights is cost. If I can pay less, I’ll book your flight.
So what will happen to those who want to travel with Kids? They will be on a flight who specially caters families? But I am not opposing that as long as they provide options and alternatives.
I’m not sure, I’m not rolling out the change or anything haha I saw Singapore offer it and was curious everyone’s thoughts. I imagine regular flights and families remain the same - but perhaps families can also pay a premium to only fly with family friendly flights as well?
It’s not that deep, grow up.
You’re confused? IM CONFUSED.
