This may or may not be true. If the FA’s were interviewed or deposed and asked “do you remember someone getting up from their seat” or “do you remember someine getting up from row XXX” all they have to say is yes or no. There could have been many reasons that a FA remembers someone getting up- maybe they had on an interesting shirt, maybe they were really gorgeous or really ugly or had a huge zit on their nose, or maybe he looked like Tom Cruise or her ex-boyfriend. Who knows. But just because a FA remembers that someone got up and moved doesn’t neceessarily mean that they remember for negative, suspicious reasons, or that they suspected the person of sinister things. The newspapers like to slant these stories too. It sells. They didn’t say why the FA remembered him. It leaves us to “assume” again. It would have been helpful if they said why he/she remembered this guy getting up, but they didnt say. Maybe the guy said something to the FA- maybe he asked if it was ok to change seats. Who knows. We just shouldn’t assume the negative.</p>

<p>There’s been a few times when we’ve flown on vacation and have had to sit split up and wait until everyone settles down and then find seats together. That hasn’t happened in recent years since planes seem to only fly full, but I can understand a big reluctance on flight attendants part to ask about anyone changing seats. But, what about the surrounding passengers? Did they all sleep through the yucky noises? If I was the passenger that realized what happened I would have done everything possible - like screaming- to get a flight attendants attention. Heck with the call button.</p>

<p>Not to mention the risk of a deep vein thromboembolism on long flights…</p>
