Another problem is decades of FAs being coddled and told outright by CAs that they would back them up "no matter what." The mask mandate has given the feeling to some of those FAs that they are now extremely empowered, and I've personally been in a situation where a FA threatened a passenger with police arrest for not wearing a mask.
