These morons think they are in a quasi-law enforcement role...they are not and most of them are far too stupid to carry the responsibility they do.

Bilingual... even if he was breaching the rules, which it sounds like he was, it doesn't give the FA carte blanche to behave like something out of Nazi Germany.

What did she do? - lets read it, and please stop using the boring Godwins law, even from the passenger POW there does not seem to be any mistreatment:

She quickly walked to us with a stern warning that we must fasten our seat-belts even though that's exactly what we were doing

I cant see the problem, if the flight is going to depart and all other seats had been checked for use of seatbelts, then it is ok to ask the passengers to hurry up, when they switch seats at a inconvenient time.

She argued that the plane was moving. When I questioned her later and told her the plane was ** not ** moving, she said, "It doesn't matter. When the seat-belt light is on, you must remain seated."

Again - she is right, whether the plane was moving or not misses the point, that all seatbelts should be fastened before the plane is moving.

told her I wanted her name and customer service number to file a complaint. She said she could give me the number for TSA, which I declined.

Now the passenger wants to complain? - about what?
