Is the FAs understanding of every detail of the FAA regs really that important to you? Were you trying to start a debate? Did you expect her to take your word for it? Were you intended to start an attorney-client relationship with the airline by rendering legal advice about the interpretation of FAA rules? (better alert the firm's carrier!)
I'm reminded of a geek in my law school class who gave the sweet bookstore lady endless grief when she asked for his phone number on the credit card slip, because California had recently enacted legislation that prohibited this. So freaking what? If he really cared, he should have taken his complaint to her superiorssince they were the ones putting the policy in place. If he was just trying to prove his superior, lawyer-like knowledge, then he did the right thing.
eta: Apparently I just couldn't wait until tomorrow. BnB knows I love her, though, and not just for her long, slinky legs.

God, I fucking hate lawyers - and everybody else - who acts like that. I had a buddy who used to tell people it was against the law to have credit card minimums. He'd say that shit to guys who barely spoke English in Chinese markets. Total idiot.
Oh, and people who take out doggy bags or send food back when its just slightly incorrectly prepared should be beaten with heavy chains. I understand if the steak is well done and you wanted rare, but I don't think it will kill you if the black bean soup is drizzled with sour cream. If you're lactose intolerant, wipe the cream off. As to doggy bags, don't be such a cheap bastard. You probably aren't going to eat that cold shit when you get it home anyway, so give the poor waiter a break. He doesn't want to wrap your one sq. inch of glass noodles.
