A couple of points.
I worry about my wife and me being in an aeroplane (my own or a Transport) or even in a car without the kids, as it would be pretty awful for them to lose us both. In fact the mrs and I are taking one of our two boys to Israel in a couple of weeks, leaving the younger one doing a school skiing trip, which also worries me.
When I recently flew, in the Aztec, with wife, two boys, dog and six place dinghy to Alderney, I had to get them to promise that if we had to ditch the dog would be abandonded to his fate, because his claws would damage the dinghy, and wouldn't take them until they had all promised.
No great point to make, just an after-midnight ramble!
