LapSap, you described the Y class experience perfect !!
The only carrier that I know that will ask you to lower shades after the first meal service, come hell or high water regardless what time it is, is our Company.
Is somebody in the Training Department teaching the new-hires that everyone eats and immediately sleeps at 11:00am ?
Whenever I have been asked to lower my shade because I am reading, I have refused (politely), and whenever some nazi red skirt reaches across to close my shade, I raise it back up.
I've even been asked to lower my shade whilst traveling in J class ex LAX, in the winter on the early morning flight 0130, where the entire flight is in total darkness !!! And to think these are the same cabin crew that are primarily there for passenger safety ?
About the shoe sizes and the clip-clop shuffle they exhibit throughout the terminals, maybe they are training for a possible slot at the Jockey Club there in Happy Valley.....ya never know
