Just because the captain doesn't have full command, doesn't mean the FA can overrule the captain. You're saying the GA can overrule the captain. Assuming that's true (I'm not disputing), the FAs recourse is to talk to the GA, not overrule the captain directly to the pax. The FA still does not have authority to overrule the captain, even if other people have authority to overrule.
A flight attendant can most certainly overrule a captain. If the flight attendant smells alcohol on the Captain's breath should he/she just get out of the way and let them into the flight deck?
