Someday, our lawmakers will step in and strip FA's of all of their rights - FA's constantly prove why they shouldn't have one ounce of authority over any situation because many act like their frontal cortex hasn't been fully developed yet. If you act in the same way the customer does, you deserve to be removed from a flight yourself.

Hopefully she already got the boot.
This. FAs are out of control.

Southwest's canned response was horribly tone-deaf and lame as well.
