Discrimination? Australian men can’t sit next to unaccompanied minors on Qantas flights

3. No slam from me--anyone can be a predator.

Perhaps the unaccompanied minors need to be placed within "eagle eye" view of the flight attendant's galley.

It used to be, back in the day, if you wanted your kid to be safe, you'd put them next to that priest, nun, minister or rabbi! Boy have times changed!

I'll be honest with you--I would prefer to not be seated next to an unaccompanied minor. I'd feel bad for the kid and worry about them.

Years ago (back before airline deregulation), such children on flights were very rare--now they are all too common as parents often don't get, never mind stay, together, and they live far from one another.

I really think the parents should be forced to do the commuting--let the kids stay where they're at and not have to be bounced around like a beach ball.
