I don’t think it’s fair to be treated like cattle on domestic airline flights. Nobody does. But just because I’m treated like disposable waste sometimes doesn’t in any way entitle or justify me to endanger or abuse employees or other flyers. As a sibling comment mentioned, flying is an extremely regulated and protected practice that has a lot of rules. And rest assured, if those rules exist, those rules usually exist because someone paid for them in blood before they became a rule.

I’m not a professional flyer by any means - but I have flown many, many miles both domestic in the States and internationally. I can’t say that you didn’t experience that behavior from a flight attendant - I could absolutely see a flight attendant losing their cool with an uncooperative customer like that - but after having flown thousands of hours both domestic and international I can genuinely say that the situation you describe has never happened to me on either the flyer or employee side - so I’m led to conclude that it must be pretty rare.
