No freaking way. FA telling the captain to stop the plane is ludicrous!!

At best the FA alerted the captain to the sitch with something like "we have a loose panel in the forward part of the cabin."

And Unless the plane had any major warnings to pilots compromising the integrity of the cabin its wheels up lets go. Engines are at 90-95% thrust. Can't just call it quits that easily.
