FAs do not know how to de-escalate and maintain a welcoming atmosphere, rather they present themselves as unfriendly and uncompromising lords in the air, instead of just sticking to their servant roles.

FAs have had it good throughout the pandemic with us subsidizing their salary and giving them additional power, now it's time for them to be reminded of their place in air travel. Not sure why you feel the need to defend them and put them on a pedestal, I bet any FA that is reading this post is laughing their way to the bank and to our faces.
FA's have a dual function, both in a service role and a critical safety role.

It appears you are focusing solely on the former, and ignoring the latter, which of course you are free to do.

You are welcome to your opinion, and I doubt anything will change it, nor do I have any inclination to try.
