Maybe she thinks that those few brief days of insanity following the shoe-lighter are still in effect ie one cannot have anything on one's lap, one must stay seated the last hour of the flight, etc?!
None of it makes any sense, even if she is a few years behind the times, especially considering her supposed position. (On a side note, I do know someone in her supposed position for one of the big carriers, and she certainly is far more coherent, rational, and aware of what flying is really like)
