Comments, requiring headphones in fligh

Apparently AA, and I suspect other carriers, do not require using
headphones for electronic equipment (CD players, DVD players, etc) in
flight. I asked this question based on my first ever experience with
this for a flight with a DVD player blasting away in First Class (MD80,
DFW-SJC) and forcing me to listen to Telly Tubbies so a 17 month old
could be entertained. It is also important to note that this 17 months
was never strapped in for a flight that got bumpy at times. After the
flight crew warned of turbulence, this child was simply standing and
unrestrained..... nice parents.

I've never encountered this, but I would have guessed it would be
banned. That would sure **** me off.

That is why I asked this of AA Customer Service who state there is no
policy requiring them. They have forwardded my suggestion to higher
managment.
