This definitely changes my perspective on it.
The wife is pregnant and the kids are the age of 2. I have kids and they were raised right, and, even still, getting them to clean up after themselves at that age is a tall task even with good parenting. Bass' family is also on a flight probably for hours and the kids are probably fussy and everyone is buckled in. You can't drug your kid to sleep, so sometimes, s*** happens.
Honestly, knowing that Bass wasn't on the flight does make me empathize with him. If he was, I would have blamed him for not picking it up. But knowing he wasn't, this is different.
