This is a cheap 25 cent blanket on a 1 hour flight :rolleyes: Who cares. The person is just gonna leave it on the plane when done. Or are you implying, that somehow the pax in the super luxurious AA domestic F cabin were subjected to intolerable suffering now that ONE blanket was lifted to be used in the back?

I am sorry, but I fail to feel the outrage expressed in this thread given the context of a 1 hour domestic flight.

When I came back, someone was magically sitting in 13F.

He immediately went back to 13F, and wasted no time in waking up the Y pax who was camped out (with all my pillows) in 13F. The FA immediately kicked him out.

This is flat out crime. I think there should be a rule of inflight theft. How about taking him to the justice, marking down his name, and calling the cops/security right after the landing?

Didn't they use to sell blankets on AE flights? For some reason I want to say I remember seeing them on the BoB menu? Maybe I'm thinking of a different airline?

Was on my way home to GCM yesterday from MIA. I boarded early, got settled in 4B and was dealing with some emails when I see an arm reach into the seat back and grab the blanket. The offending passenger was dressed in shorts and a tank top (male) and the aircraft was on the chilly side. The man kept on walking and I had to get out of my seat and tell him that the blanket goes with the seat, he gave me a dirty look then gave back the blanket.

This was all in view of the FA who did not comment.

And I thought Y pax stuffing their luggage into the F bins was getting bad.

DFW-AUS in Y yesterday...32 minute flight.

Got up to use restroom during the flight.

FA sitting on jump seat in back and has restroom access blocked with a seat belt. Had literally placed a seat belt as a sort of rope which prevented anyone access to bathroom.

When I asked her about it, she just laughed and said it was "to prevent anyone using the back as an escape in the event of an emergency"...

I have flown at least hundreds of flights over the years - there is a first time for everything...:)

I'm appalled by the nerve of some Y pax. Do they really need blankets? I don't see why they can't curl up in some of their left over hay after they're done eating.

Wow. A bit extreme, perhaps? What crime would you accuse them of?

Perhaps even US law enforcement has better things to do than that...?
