Actually, yes. I believe this to be possible 100%.

You can be SE and set foot on less planes than a P25. So definitely possible.

Actually, it's possible to be SE and sit in less planes than someone with no status.

My coworker is/was AA ExPlat (so, the equivalent of AC's SE) and flies/flew once a year, so it's definitely possible.

So in all seriousness ... how would everyone here, handle this? Perhaps I'm too Canadian, but directly confronting strangers is not in my comfort zone - I am more likely to just sit there and be quietly offended.

Would you talk directly to the "lady"? Ask an FA to intervene?

Not sure what I would say in same row or behind, but if I were in front of her and saw those feet anywhere there definitely would be words said.

I have the firm belief that both seats in front of her were empty, that's why nobody said anything

I don't want to live in a world where there was actually somebody sitting in one of those two seats and she did that anyway

It's still bad, but just a step down from gag-worthy

Look at the photo again. Both seats are occupied.

I bet that person is an AC FTer who posts here and believes it is absolutely acceptable to behave that way on a flight.

Photo shows people in seats in front of her. One directly in front has head on sidewall and is watching movie on IFE. Middle seat is also occupied.

That is the world that uncouth woman lives in.

Makes you wonder how they ride their high horse with that kind of posture...

True.

Perhaps the passenger was ready to give birth.
Or had to violently flatulate, requiring a momentary posture shift, before sitting upright again.
karachi and smallmj like this.

There are older SEs who get confused about the simplest things.

The stunned bunny would be spoken to directly and politely told to remove her feet from the arm rest. Failure to comply would result in the FA being called.
