I have seen too many instances of FAs making false accusations and claims against pilots. It can and has ruined people’s lives. The reality is that the cabin crew has far less invested and far less to lose than the flight crew. Anyone telling you otherwise is naive.
As a cautionary tale. We had a crew that decided it would be a good idea to drink a 24 pack bud light with the FA’s at the overnight hotel. One of the FA’s vomited all over her room. The hotel reported the entire crew as drinking inside the 12 hour rule. The Captain had to start over as a new hire FO at another regional. Good luck telling that story to mainline. Moreover explaining it to your wife because he had a family.
