When he finally came-to, he had a hard time figuring out why his IFE menu was not English.

I saw the uncropped version of the photo a few days ago. Notice the difference?
The overhead bins are open and empty. With 1A and 1B occupied, what is the chance the OHB would be open and empty? The person in 1B is wearing that not-found-in-nature color of blue that UA uses for its uniforms. I would contend that is not a passenger in 1A.

This is part of UA's new exercise program for FAs to keep them fit between flights they will be working.

Meh, very likely some stupid stunt with unknown motivation.
I grew up in farm country with a kid who lost both of his arms in a farming equipment accident at something like age five. In later years he tore around town in his pickup truck steering with his left foot (true story, was featured on 60 Mins or one of those national news magazines way back when). He once pulled me out of a snow bank one late winter night in the middle of nothing but corn fields and dirt roads (and, I reckon, snow banks!).

Ah, gotcha! Reaffirmation that I am on the right path as a partial technology (/partial business) consultant with zero social media accounts (unless you count LinkedIn, which I regard merely as free advertising)...

Oh my goodness - If this was a California-Tokyo flight several years ago, I was also on the flight. To this day I have visions of this.
