Totally should have shut up when asked, if you don't understand yourself. Personally, I'm sick and tired of people that just can't refrain from talking for a couple of hours. Keep in mind that *you think* that your conversation is "hushed". But you don't realize that the louder the engine noise the louder your "hushed" conversation becomes. And it TOTALLY DOES NOT MATTER whether he was uniformed or not.

No reason to assume xela doesn’t use these things to try to drown out the chatterboxes. I often have to add white noise from one of my phone apps to my Bose noise-canceling earbuds to drown them out. The earbuds do a good job of drowning out engine noise, while somehow isolating and making the “quiet” conversation going on nearby even clearer and easier to understand and therefore more difficult to ignore.

It's an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact
This is usually taken to mean a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm, and that is often used as an example of assault, but that is NOT what assault is
And your garbage about 'an unlawful attempt' is just that

ITT self-entitled people who think they all other passengers should be silent, with lights out if they want to snooze (and a lawyer who doesn't know common law)
When you fly, you are in a shared space; there will be noise, lights, heat, humidity, smells all not to your liking. You can mitigate against almost all of those for your own comfort. Expecting others to modify their behaviour to accommodate your wishes is ridiculous in the extreme
I usually travel overnight on long-haul. It would never even occur to me to expect fellow passengers not to talk for my convenience - the damn airline evens provides earplugs and headphones and eyemasks for the very reason that others may talk and have their reading lights or TV screens on
USE THEM!

Alas, thread lost.
The (non-AA) pilot in question was just another passenger.
Ongoing discussion of the definition of assault, though no assault occurred here.
Various posts arguing the law, but this is the AA forum and the discussion is off topic.
Too many posts with personal comments about, or directed at, other members.
