BTW, I wear shoes from taxi to takeoff, and final approach through landing, as these are the times most likely to require an evacuation of the plane.
Agree in all points. Next to your detailed complaint to AA you should report it to the FAA as well.

I had one AA agent in LAS threatening me with arrest because I demanded a report for my damaged bag... seems like most people bugger off after that. Too bad for her I had lots of time and used the courtesy telephone to really call the airport police. Let's just say it didn't end pretty - for the AAgent!
