Above is an article in an Australian paper about two recent incidents, one on Virgin, the other Qantas. While I don't have an issue with the policy, it seems the implementation of it was handled poorly and ended up embarrassing the gentleman involved, there was fairly lame efforts by the cabin crew to make it clear to other passengers what was happening.
I am sure this policy is consistent with most carriers, but what I don't understand is how this situation can occur in the first place. If there are restrictions on who minors can sit next to, why can't the airline admin perform their due diligence when allocating seats, rather than creating a situation on the place, which will always be messy.
