I am willing to bet...without the whole story that the FA wasn't threatened... she was fustrated and angry...
You're probably right, but I don't "bet" when safety is involved. FA said she was threatened? Back to the gate. End of story.
So when the FA realizes she can control you, when do you stop going back to the gate?
Probably around the same time the company fires said FA for constantly claiming that she's being threatened. How much you wanna bet that it won't take more than twice?
