So it's hot and -APU, 49 others have the same problem, and nobody wants to wait for the next possibly oversold flight. All you can do is apologize for the temps and ask pax to be tolerant. A hot cabin doesn't give a pax liscense to not behave properly.

"Do you want to fly to your destination on this flight? Then sit down, behave, and watch your language please."

You don't owe anyone an apology for a firm or hard landing! Do Quarterbacks apologize to their fans for interceptions? by saying sorry you gave him the freedom and confidence to lambast you more in the jetway!

Imagine how nice it would've been without THAT GUY on your flight for you and your crew, the CAL FA, and your other pax.

My last bit of soapbox time: my FA always knows they can kick someone off for being drunk, smelly, disrespectful, or rude, they just have to say the word. A good policy, especially for a one FA cabin.
I agree completely. From a meer FO gettin ready to upgrade, I will def let my FA know that if they are disrespected in any way, i have no problem using some authority. Paying for a ticket gives you NO right to yell and complain at someone more than maybe expressing your frustrations. Especially if it becomes personal.
