On a related note am I the only one who'd be happy to pay a small supplement to guarantee not having to sit within ten rows of a screaming small child?! Yes I'd even pay to avoid being stuck next to my friends' small children on a flight.
If you don't like who you might be sat next to (young, old, infant, fat, thin, smelly, noisy, snoring, whatever), don't use public transport, which is all a flight is. Drive in your private car, or hire a private jet.

But I don't have a problem with any of those categories as they don't generally scream in a particularly ear piercing high pitched manner!

You'll learn to scream in a high pitched uncontrolable manner when you've got your own kids and they involuntarily vomit all over you/them/evertything else at the most inopportune moment, (like just before boarding the aircraft )
I can sympathise though - even though I have my own, a strangers screaming kid can pierce my ear drums - I suppose the only thing is now I have my own, rather than being irritated, I am just thankful it's not mine, and am symptathetic with the parent trying to deal with them. On the plus side, when you are an old wrinkly, you'll be thankful for that someone spawned kids as they'll the one's now vaguely grown up operating the ski lift you are riding or cooking your chalet meal every meal night.

The reality is divide the seating on planes into sections never really works. I remember the old days when you used to ask for a seat in the no smoking section and you'd just end up in the row in front of the smoking section with smoke being blow over your head!
