Re: complying with flight attendant's orders.

Now I get it.  When moms wonder (ahead of time) what to do if asked to move 
or cover-up, I have always advised, that *if* it is a police officer or 
officer of the court, that they MUST do what the police officer asks, even 
if you know he is wrong.  A person must ALWAYS follow the orders of a police 
officer, or risk being arrested.  One can always file a complaint later.

So I see now, that the flight attendant's power have elevated them to that 
same status.  Or have they?  What are the limits of power of the flight 
attendant?
