It was pretty funny at the time with the point being that some FAs do care.
It's better than the FA on my last United flight who was commenting about how he would not be able to open the door and that the examiners just let him pass to keep on flying.
I heard it was the same with the late Bette Nash in her later years - apparently would have caused too much bad publicity to have her fail.
