She didn't think that they were getting the mask back up as fast as she thought they should. After listinening to what she had to say, I advised her that if anyone was going to be removed, it would be her. She wasn't a problem after that. I can't imagine blindly kicking a passenger off without getting all of the info first.
At AA, the company gave the flight attendants aboslute power over employees (non-revving and DH'ing), to include regional affiliates. If a particular FA thought you weren't in compliance, they could just report you via their tablet and the next thing you know, your travel privileges are suspended and your job is being threatend. Oh, and you had no recourse through the union or CPO.
