Never mind the AAIB report recommendation 2002-17 the sentence that caught my eye was
"Attempts to use strips of blanket to provide additional support were unsuccessful because the crew had nothing with which to cut the blanket"
How important is it for cabin crew to have cutting devices?

Aeroflot used to have a suspended cradle that could be hung from the overhead luggage rail (lockers? what are they?). I expect it would give health and safety the heebie-geebies, but it was very effective at rocking the little darlings to sleep!

Bealine et al.
I recall an incident on a UK airline where the mother refused to fasten her seat belt because the baby in her lap 'was asleep, and I don't want to wake him'. A GA ensued followed by a landing when a shocked mother agreed to strap in. The parents were both arrested on shut down, the father having supported his wife and been quite abusive. It was music to the Cabin Staff's ears to hear him protesting as he was escorted up the finger, 'You can't arrest me, I'm a lawyer'. It ended in court but I never did find out what the verdict was,
