It was a deliberate error, you know, for all intensive purposes.

I actually had a flight attendant tell me that "you run the cockpit, I run the cabin".

I stopped, said, "In doing my job, I need to ask that you understand who is in ultimate command of the entire aircraft and there's only one right answer".

Solved that one pretty quick.

I flew with a captain last year, senior check airman, did my IOE, awesome guy to fly with, taught me tons and I went out of my way to get this trip and fly with him. Anyway, we have an a flight attendant jumpseat that frequently gets used. On the first leg we had two jumpseaters, a company guy, and a UAL guy. The company guy had first dibs and wanted to sit up front instead of in FA jumpseat, fair enough it's his decision. The FA threw a massive stink about having an offline pilot in the jumpseat. There is a pretty large misunderstanding, mostly among some of the senior FAs about who can sit in that seat. She starts discussing how he's not welcome in her jumpseat because blah blah blah, her jumpseat, her jumpseat, and I'm a union rep, blah blah blah. She said "my jumpseat" probably 5 times in a short conversation. My captain turned around and explained the misunderstanding, that it's common, even showed her in the the FOM where the misunderstanding comes from. He then said in a very cool and calm demeanor something along the lines of "If there is a safety concern I am not familiar with by all means let me know and I'll support your decision. However, he just wants to go home and I'd hate to leave him here on just misunderstanding."

She said it wasn't a safety thing and he rode along. But what stuck with me is that in how he handled the situation he made it abundantly clear who is running the show, but in a manner as to not talk down to or offend anyone. Everyone got home and there was no fuss. Like you he mentioned later that he doesn't like to have to remind anyone who is in control, but he did so incredibly well.

"Who said you could take something from my galley?"

"Excuse me? Everything on this plane belongs to me, I let you use it." :D
