Word to the wise, this sort of situation can *usually* be diffused by the crew member before it gets to this point. Didn't see what led up to it, so no way to know in this case.

But do us all a favor, press for charges in this sort of situation (even if your employer prefers otherwise). Gotta draw the line somewhere.
*+^>ing ridiculous! And this guy's not going to press charges?! He needs to for the sake of all airline crew.

Maybe he didn't handle it like a professional and exacerbated the situation with the pax. I find it incredibly hard to believe, that with the proper decorum and self control, an adult could not diffuse the situation, and/or hand a crazy pax off to the right people. If someone tried to hound me like this I would immediately find other airline employees to circle the wagons and resolve this without raising voices or escalation.
My 2 cents

You need to politely ask that asshat to turn off his phone or get out, I believe they think it is totally acceptable in our cell phone world. They just need an occasional reminder that not everyone wants to live in their " have to be constantly plugged in world."

It goes to say to that also there is only x amount of space in the sleep rooms. Nothing like arriving for 4am ready reserve and having a bunch of guys decide to camp out there instead of going to a hotel or crashpad and sleeping in until 8 for the their 9am flight, leaving the people who are at work forced to find somewhere else to get a few hours of shut eye.

Got a tangent/follow up question...

What's the etiquette regarding alarms in the sleep room? I've set an audible alarm knowing I need to wake up for a flight. Kosher? Faux pax? Only other time I've been in there and heard someone's alarm go off was another guy who set an alarm and then snoozed it like freaking 4 times over 20 minutes! That was annoying as hell but then had me wondering...are audible alarms the norm or am I just annoying people with my "one and done"?

Oh yeah, now it's the AA pilot's fault for not knowing how to defuse the situation?! Wow. You're a genius.

You waking up for your showtime is more important than my light sleep. One alarm and get up....snoozing it 524 times is a D-move.

So you're saying you don't like walking into a sleep room filled with 6-9 overweight and snoring Captains who's penny pinching and crashing in the sleep room overnight? Lol
