While I agree the flight attendants should not be discussing such things in front of passengers, with espoused attitudes like this, I can see why they couldn't care less if passengers overhear them or not.
What I was trying to say is that FAs livelihood really depends on their employer staying in business and being successful - and, if you have not noticed, I have included management on the list (who I blame the most, incidentally). And I am not disagreeing with you that stakes are high - that is exactly why differences are petty in comparison. In the three-way zero-sum game that they are now playing, everyone can only lose.
As for complaining in front of passengers, that just reinforces the bad mojo UA currently has in spades...
