The only time I've been on an airplane with a crying baby, the baby
obviously had an ear problem that was the cause. I was seated
directly across the aisle and barely heard the cries over all the
airplane noise, so AFAIC anyone who complains about that sort of thing
must *want* to be wound up about something... however small.
