I also remember the thread about the feet flat. Wasn't it ferreted out that the FA was suggesting this, not demanding it?

I didn’t read the entire thread again but I only remember most FTers defending the FA and giving reasons it IS safer to have your feet on the floor.
If that’s the case, make it policy instead of leaving it up to the whim of a power-tripping FA.
