Well, I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but it is against the law for passengers to disobey crew member directions. The lead FA should have confronted the man and told him that if he didn't comply this would be his last flight on AA for a while, and that if he continued his belligerent attitude he'd be met by some LEOs on arrival.

Maybe I'm confused, but in the OP it clearly states that the FA did approach the man and ask him to stop...and he did....I'm not sure where the perception that this went unaddressed came from.
Cheers.

You know, I read about planning and desire in the seat switching thread, where many (most?) people were emphatic about never sacrificing their comfort for others...
My question is...why weren't you prepared with earplugs? If quiet is important to be, plan in advance.

I usually do carry earplugs, just in case, for stuff outside my control. I didn't think this was out of my control -- I was pretty sure the FA would support me on this one.
