I don’t think US carriers can legally institute a no-children rule — i think this sort of policy would constitute age discrimination [0]. Not sure about other localities. Removing particularly disruptive/belligerent passengers seems to be fair game, but really that’s exceptional and doesn’t apply to most of the interactions being discussed here. I don’t think anyone in this thread is saying that travelers should be entitled to shush other people’s children, which would be incredibly rude. You’re perfectly entitled to go through the intermediary of the airline, but I think polite engagement along the lines of what GP suggested would be a positive feature of society.
