There’s a lot of blame to go around.
The fact that this guy apparently decided to confront the FAs hours after the maskless incident occurred shows very poor judgment on his part.
However, it's also just as concerning that certain airline staff, particularly FAs, think it is OK to intimidate passengers and waste law enforcement resources by calling police for even minor verbal altercations.
It's always a bad idea to confront anyone in-flight (FA, fellow passenger... anyone), so there's plenty of blame to go around here based on what has been reported, but I'm troubled by reading yet another story about FAs calling police when it seems the situation likely could have been de-fused using less extreme tactics.
