After five hours I mentioned to the purser that this was outrageous, and someone should have asked the family to control their behaviour.
Not your place to exercise self help -- yet.I, the "gentleman" beside me refused to turn his pc off. The fa tried a few times to have him turn it off and he just blew her off. When it became apparent of his unconcern for the flight safety I reached over and turned his pc off, rude I know, but the safety of all of us could have been endangered. .
I'm the United flyer here(but my airline of choice to Europe is Lufthansa)
I think that DebbieB, Safetymom, ExPirateShopGirl, CarolA and I are all pretty loyal to our airlines (if we can be with routing, fares, etc).
I just didn't bother to share the airline as really the outcome should have been the same on any airline. I would also suspect that United would not necessarily be as generous to a non-elite flyer, but I could be wrong.
But for anyone who used points/miles/money for a seat in First that trip, the response was appropriate. I also think that anyone in row 6 and around those family members deserved something as well...

bavaria thanks for the support, I do know about Outlook as I was a computer specialist for the Department of Defense for 26 years before I retired. Trust me, I'm much more civil and understanding now that the Dr. gives me meds for the flights, it takes the anxiety away, usually sleep most of the time and don't notice much happening.
since it was the exit door diagonally across from me, I knew that I would be the first one sucked out if that door opened during flight!!!!
