A B757 FLT ATTENDANT RPTED AN ARGUMENT WITH A MARRIED COUPLE DURING A FLT TO EWR AFTER BOARDING PROCESS WAS COMPLETE.

Narrative

DURING BOARDING; A FAMILY OF 5 WITH A NANNY -- 3 BAGS AND CAR SEAT -- BOARDED JUST BEFORE CABIN DOOR WAS CLOSED. WE HAD TAKEN A 2 HR DELAY DUE TO WX. FAMILY WAS STILL IN AISLE WITH BAGS AFTER MAIN DOOR CLOSED. I APCHED AND ASKED THEM TO PLEASE SIT DOWN. THEY TOOK THEIR TIME AND EVENTUALLY GOT SETTLED. ONCE WE REACHED CRUISE; I WAS IN AISLE SELLING HEADSETS WHEN I GOT TO THEIR ROW. THE HUSBAND SAID; 'DON'T YOU THINK YOU WERE OUT OF LINE EARLIER?' I REPLIED; 'I WAS DOING MY JOB.' HIS WIFE THEN GOT UP AND ASKED FOR MY NAME. WHEN I REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HER; I TURNED AND PROCEEDED UP THE AISLE AND NOTICED SHE WAS BEHIND ME AND SHOUTING; 'TURN AROUND AND DEAL WITH ME.' SHE KEPT SHOUTING THAT AS I WENT UP TO FIRST CLASS AND CALLED THE CAPT. SHE WAS VERY THREATENING AND INTIMIDATING AND INTERFERED WITH MY DUTIES AND FAILED TO COMPLY WHEN I REQUESTED FOR HER TO GO BACK AND SIT DOWN. THE SEAT BELT SIGN WAS STILL ON. SHE WAS IN MY FACE; SHOUTING. A LOT OF PAX WERE VISIBLY UPSET BY THIS. THE CAPT DID NOT WANT TO GET POLICE INVOLVED; BUT I INSISTED AND 5 POLICE MET OUR FLT IN EWR. THEY TOOK MY STATEMENT AND HERS AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD FORWARD A COPY TO THE FAA AND IT WOULD BE UP TO THE FAA IF ANY ACTION IS TAKEN. I GOT SERVED WITNESSES' INFO.
