Parents didn't use trainers as baby sitters in the old days either.
They are showing up in the TA 9 - 11 yrs young now, and demanding service.
Heck many of those can not even understand the concepts much less put it into practise.
Trainers I think as a whole are seriously ready for an age filter on the TA.

Per Ghosth's comments...
We find that at least half of the new players coming to the TA are middle school age and younger. They come in, refuse to read the help files, then bury the trainers in endless requests to show them how to be experts in 30 seconds. These are almost always "two-weekers" who can create an account without needing a credit card.
They DEMAND attention immediately. Here's an example.
I'm running a dive-bombing clinic at A100. I get PM'd by a kid who wants some ACM training. I tell him that I'm busy with 8 other players for the next two hours. He says that he "can't wait two hours, why can't you train me now?" I explain that he will have to wait. So, he comes to A100, takes off and starts shooting at the guys practicing. I warm him to stop and he shoots at me as well. Ejected on the spot... In the meantime, he disrupts the clinic and aggravates several players.
As a group, the Trainers have developed itchy trigger fingers for this type of behavior. The desire for instant gratification, bad manners, disrespectful language towards player and trainers, and a tendency to be self-absorbed. Kids like this almost always misbehave and suffer the consequences. I recently booted a 12 year-old for dropping the F-bomb on 70 year-old gentleman who simply asked not to be shot at.
In addition, some of these "squeakers" are so annoying to the other players on VOX that I have to mute them. It's the standard adolescent "look at me" behavior. Do whatever it takes to generate attention, even negative attention. Often after being muted, they will act out in some other manner, like harassing other players by strafing or bombing. That gets them ejected, but not before they have annoyed everyone.
It seems to me that you can filter out the very young kids and kids who are unsupervised at home by requiring a credit card to create an account. Don't charge the card, but use it as a digital signature to indicate that a parent knows what their kid is doing.
My regards,
Widewing

Or - in order to preserve the influx of people just looking at the game - don't let anyone other than paying customers into the TA. Based on your characterization of the offenders, I'm not sure they'd stand out in the MAs during those first two weeks.

Widewing.
I was waiting for TC one night and saw this exchange
Trainer: If you don't stop doing that, you will suffer TV...
squeaker: what's TV?
Trainer: What you will be watching if you don't stop doing that.
:rofl :rofl :rofl
-
Yes I love the "TV" line its a classic. If I can remember widewing was saying that back when I was a little sweaker about 6 years ago.

Widewing, after your post, I appreciate even more trainers' work. It seems that in the whole world (well, at least in the western countries :) ) kids badly need a good slap, be it virtual or not!

I read somewhere that Douglas Aircraft built a completely bulletproof SBD in 1943.
Unfortunately, it's ENY was so low the Allies weren't allowed to use it.

Short version: Arena split.
For the long version, go back and look at the threads started at that time. Either the sky was well and truly falling, or it was the Second Coming, depending on who you were. Much drama.

Did you guys see that commercial for the new credit card that kids can get?
Scary s***.

I can't kill anything else. Generally after three or four hours flying they're better than I am, and I've been at flight simulators for...well...longer than most of them have been breathing.
