I'm guessing the flight crew did not know this went down during boarding?

This is one of numerous examples of how bad our flight attendants are in the US. They all should be hired for a 3 year renewable contract and allowed to stay if they provide good service and keep fit for duty. Most can barely fit down the isle and many could never aid passengers during an emergency due to poor health. People won't even use the flight attendant call button for fear of backlash by these lazy and bad attitude stews.
This is a prime example of why ALL US airlines will never compete with the world's first class airlines. This flight attendant is the epitome of all US air carriers' flight attendants. Sickening. I believe Delta (through great effort in training and monitoring) currently has the most friendly flight attendants - many are still obese by medical standards. Having said that, Delta is soo far behind Singapore, Asiana, Korean, Virgin, Quantus, Lufthansa, well - ALL other foreign major carriers' quality of flight attendants.

Pave,
It's called living in a litigious society.
Or is that just a very convenient excuse? Age discrimination may be illegal, but expectation of proper performance certainly is not, nor is expectation of being fit for duty, especially when said duty is safety-sensitive.
It's called reality Ike in the USA. Did you ever read the article about Qatar FA's? How they must live in dorms, constant threats of job loss and immediate deportation. To marry someone else at that airline you have to get permission from the CEO.
Does it have to be either or? Are the only choices the disgrace that we have here and what you describe at QR? Is there truly no better way?

You keep making that argument but it is invalid..., you forget that on the list of the top 20 airlines in the world, most of them are from advanced countries that have as restrictive (if not more) labor laws as in the US..., Lufthansa, ANA, JAL, British Airways, Korean.., all these airlines fare very well year after year on that list and their labor laws are almost too much in favor of the employee.
I don't think every FA is a disgrace here. I think many consider it a career, and in other countries it's a "contract." Do you want to be the one to tell those FA's that their career is over? What if they are single parents? That would be tough. I think the FAA would have to get involved with new rules and maybe requirements (like being able to pick up the over wing exit door (40 lbs) by themselves and place it on the seat) to create more change.
I suspect Parker/Kirby have no clue what they are bitting off if they think they will easily foist their Walmart culture on APA.
Parker is a Liar and a money grubbing cock sucker.
