I am mostly wondering if this approach is becoming a thing because FAs have learned that "shoot the messenger" gets them out of trouble for missteps they think they might have committed.
Thanks for the update. Did you by chance see where the drunk was sitting? You should definitely write in to DL with a concise complaint how StayingHomeIsBetter mentioned (especially noting the embarassment to you by being escorted off the plane by police). I think it's ridiculous that they retaliated against the person complaining and not the drunk person throwing up in the lav and stealing food. We weren't there and it's possible that the way you confronted the FA might have had something to do with their response, but even so I don't think what they did was justified.
It'd be great if you can come back here with what you send to DL, and what they come back with for a response.
