Isn't that what reclining seats on planes are for, to recline?

No doubt they are too busy driving about in their volvos and making porn movies to process your order

Yep they have got no business in business class, thats unless your kids are extremely talented running multi million dollar businesses?

Phenigan did not do much for mine when he was 1 year old this time he will be 4, might not need anything, but just in case, I certainly dont want him annoying every one else on the Plane.

Or perhaps stick the flight attendants in the bunny costumes and the kids in the hold

Ok before this starts getting too wired I didn't mean the hugh hefner style bunny costume for the kids.

However it would work ok with some of the flight attendants, I say some because they seem to be the older ladies on the American international flights.
