Maybe it is just me, but the quality of FA on regional flights last year, for me, went way down. I have met the FA you speak of many times unfortunately, and I am nothing but a quiet conforming passenger.

I have also met the type of passenger you speak of as well. They are tuly nuts. I think it has something to do with the small space of a regional jet bringing out the worst in people. It makes them subconsciously claustrophobic and they begin to defend their space vehemently, even in that form.

As a LoadMaster, I had to deal with a young butter bar who would not stop going to the back window of the plane at 30-some thousand feet. No O2 back there so crew only. The Captain finally had to come back and tell him to sit with seatbelt fastened for the rest of the flight. He did not. He came off in handcuffs when we landed.
