I told him: "although I don't know that this is based on the airlines rules, and since I need to get in Sao Paulo, I will comply with it and I will report you to customer service". Got his name, wrote a nice letter to AA, and today they have responded that socks are not needed on the Business class, and their wording "Due to the circumstances you have reported, we have shared your email with the appropriate management personnel for internal review and follow-up".

Dunno waht it means in the real work but it is good to take this off your chest...Hate this "small power syndrome" that some of these FA's show these days. How ridiculous is to thrown someone out of the plane because one is not wearing socks??
