And by threatening I mean physically. Just threatening to cause inconvenience by tweeting about you in such a way that your employer can identify you is a bit annoying, but something the GA would simply have to put up with as part of her job.
Exactly. Since they were allowed to reboard and fly after deleting the tweet, it's clear that the "threat" perceived by the GA was in being publicly called rude via social media.
