On a CLT-DCA flight (55 minutes) and the couple behind me is changing their baby's diaper. SMH. Couldn't wait till we landed or got in the air and done it in the bathroom?

As a parent, I can't blame them. Would you wanna sit in your own shit when you don't have to? I would have done the same.

1. They don't have changing tables in airline bathrooms
2. The airline bathrooms are too small to actually changing diapers
3. Would you rather have a wailing kid?
4. The parents aren't trying to inconvenience you. They're far more stressed and exhausted than you are.

I'd probably have to say something, that's just plain wrong.

Wait 10 minutes till we take off. The baby will survive, I promise. Even if it cries a bit, it won't remember any of this.

Was the baby crying and that's why they did a diaper change?

Being a consultant has nothing to do with this. They inconvenienced and put 15+ people in an uncomfortable / poor smelling spot. I'm not saying wait an hour and risk anything but I am SURE there's times when a baby doesn't get changed for 15 minutes.

You're the type of guy/gal giving D a bad name. You'll have a different state of mind if you have children.

So unsanitary! I would only be okay with this if they are careful (nothing rolls or leaks off that table) and if they use a disinfectant wipe on the table after. A courtesy heads up wound be helpful if it's going to be a stinker!

OP, you must be that same whiney db who was complaining about kids being kids on your flight. You are one miserable person.

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
