FA's like her are the same ones that will bash you to your face and when you respond in kind, call the pilot and police to have you removed from the flight due to safety. It's easy for people like this to constantly hide behind the safety issue for their lazy incompetent behavior.
Unfortunately she won't be disciplined and will continue to do what she does best...berate the one that pays her salary. Without the passengers she would most likely be working as a waitress somewhere. I'm sure she would suck at that too.
United won't have the balls to fire her and make it stick. The union will offer to settle a few grievances in order to keep her employed. Employees expect union representation to do whatever it takes to keep each and every employee on staff. That's the sense of entitlement - more so that a few pissy passengers . (And if you don't know how to handle pissy passengers with grace, you're in the wrong field.)
Libel...by her characterization of Zach Honig, she has created a tort for United Airlines. Even if UA loses in arbitration, they should do it anyway, calling the union's bluff. Since she was in uniform, she loses the right to have an opinion as she is a representative of United.
The flight in question, was a p.s. subfleet aircraft with 142 seats (J28W42Y70), meaning just 3 FAs.
