I agree that Rainboe’s post #685 was excellent. In it, he made the comment:
I've flown with some very difficult, notorious captains.
I suspect there’d be few of us who spent what used to be an average time as an FO have not.

A very wise Fleet Manager told me something about flying with such captains after I’d crossed swords with one, (and told him - after returning to home base – that I thought he was dangerous).

“Captains are allowed to have idiosyncrasies, Wiley, First Officers are not.”

I think that wise adage could be extended to “... and neither are Cabin Crew.”

If the cabin crew in this incident think they've been vindicated, there're coming from a very strange place (in their heads).
