At the time of writing this post, an erupting volcano in Iceland is spreading a cloud of volcanic ash over much of Europe that has grounded most transatlantic flights. The list of cities with closed airports includes London (all airports), Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Brussels, Zurich...the list goes. It just about covers the hubs of all major European carriers.

Why can't we just let a big airline go out of business? I can't understand the ability of giant corporations that seem to keep levitating, defying gravity, defying red ink and billions and billions of dollars in losses. Case in point: United Airlines.

What, if any, rights do passengers have regarding other passenger's children? Especially if the parents seem to be neglecting their duties.
