I did't mean to imply any correlation with hair color or accent. I just thought if for some outside chance UA lurkers are monitoring this thread, they may identify the passenger by verifying some physical characteristics with the flight number and seat information.

This is the most shocking post on this thread.

I was wondering what everyone thinks of people putting their feet on the bulkhead. With shoes on but just putting their feet flat on the bulkhead in front of them.

I hope I did not offend any one. My thought is simply, what can airlines do to improve the situation? For me, it would be nice if UA sends the photo to the passenger privately and told her that this was taken by another passenger. UA can then say that we would appreciate very much if you can refrain from putting dirty slippers in places that are hard to clean and sanitize, and that the passengers in the next legs may put their fingers, napkins, or cookies in there.

I am not offended (by feet or by your post). I was just shocked you thought United could and would follow through based on your vague description.
(1) I sure hope United doesn't keep a database of what color hair people have and whether they speak with a foreign accent (and if so, whether it's "European" or other)! That would be very creepy!
(2) I hope United never sends me a photo another passenger took of me making some minor transgression, weeks after the flight. That would be very creepy!
(1) FA could ask person to put feet down
(2) Airline could take no action and be realistic that between feet, socks, shoes, hands, elbows, bottoms of suitcases, sneezing, etc. their interiors will get dirty. They could do a better job cleaning, but trying to police minor passenger behavior is not likely to be effective or win the hearts and minds.

Believe this thread has outlived its usefulness, so putting my foot down (firmly on the floor) and closing this thread.
