It's against Federal Aviation Regulations and permitting a ticketed child over the age of two to sit on a passenger's lap can subject an airline to a hefty fine.... not to mention jeopardizing the safety of passengers and the child alike. See Also: When Your Baby Becomes a Missile
We actually just flew into MCO on Jetblue a few weeks ago. We flew with friends of the family who have an almost 3 yr old. He had a seat of course, but sat on his father's lap during take off. Because I read these boards I expected the FA to inform them that he needed to sit in his own seat. They did not care and walked by about a 8 times to make sure people's seat belts were on and such.
I think it just depends on the flight. I think in this instance they the boy was asleep and just looked so comfortable that they did not want to disturb him.
