As a parent of a child who flies frequently - this policy is absurd!
Your staff does nothing above and beyond. The administrative tasks of processing my unaccompanied minor is no more strenuous then someone checking baggage (she never does btw).
Further more I accompany her to the gate. A staff member walks her from there to a seat on the plane. When she arrives a staff member walks her down the walkway to the gate again where she is met.
90% of the time she is escorted by the pilot or a flight attendant heading that way anyway - not the gate attendant.
I can understand a fee for connecting flights but not a simple straight flight. The flights she takes are less then 2 hours. Trust me - no one is doing $25.00 worth of work on her behalf.
