LOL. No, it wasn't that airline
The conversation took place before take-off. When speaking to the Cabin Manager, I offered a compromise which was that I retain my seat (I had no one next to me) until they needed it, and went back to it after they finished their rest period. It was accepted together with an apology for her colleague's original unfriendly approach. All parties were satisfied.
