My point exactly!
But some Captains will ALWAYS back their FA's (see above) even if the FA is extremely wrong - this blind support is very unprofessional, much like the days a FO could/would never question a Captain (that cost many lives).
A Captain should make informed decisions not back his mates/friends.
