I cringe when captains allow the flight attendants to set the tone. I will support them and enjoy working with most but when push comes to shove the buck stops in the flight deck not the galley. If you want flight attendants to like and respect you then if they have a problem get all the information and make a decision the same as if you were in their shoes. Take an interest in who they are as people and keep them safe.
I disagree that it will be a flight attendant or pilot that ruins KCM. It will be an idiot. And the example stated was an idiot.

The crewmwmber has every right to submit a letter of complaint to the TSA with copies to the Airline. Likewise the TSA agent has the right to submit a letter of complaint to his/her supervisor against the F/A as well.
At the end of The day, I will wager the issue took no more than 3 minutes the resolve. Unfortunately F/As and cockpit crews are not exempt from inappropriate conduct... but again their are remedies to the bone heads.

Yet another prime example of ignorance and this bewildering attidude that if legacies are hiring you can just waltz yourself right on in the front door...

Don't blame the pilot, blame the governmental idiot who came up with a dumb way of doing something that everyone knew would be an issue.
