Dads and travelling with kids

Just received an email that was stating the results of a poll by a US online magazine,Interactive Dad. The survey was about dads on airplanes with their children. Not sure what prompted the poll in the first place but 33% said they were more likely than the mother to fly alone with their kids. Those who had travelled alone with their children 73% reported that they would do it again; 20% said they would think twice before doing it again and 7% said they wouldn't.

Again I'm not sure why the poll was taken or what it means but maybe there are reasons behind more mothers doing the travelling alone with kids. I know that in our family my wife has taken several trips—for a variety of reasons— over the years with the children on her own.

I do wonder what happened with the 20% and the 7% of respondents who would not or might not travel with their children alone. What would the mothers say to them? "Suck it up and be a man—you can handle it."
