Narrative:
I write this because of the air carrier pilots who were terminated. My circumstances are much different. Our flight attendant was in uniform, had her 'acm' paperwork, and a seat in the cabin. About an hour from landing the head flight attendant told me that the 'acm' flight attendant was being harassed by a man and his family for riding in the cabin. This passenger was so loud the surrounding passenger complained. I used my captain authority to seat this flight attendant in the cockpit to stop the noise and solve the problem. She was very quiet and did not create a distraction. This is a bad far.
