Neither would surprise me a bit, but I have found that federal law gives far too much power to airborne waitresses, when it should really rest only in the hands of the Captain.

It's my understanding that the primary job of the "airborne waitresses" is to ensure the safety and security of the passengers and plane, and that serving goodies is secondary to that task.

Of course! Your understanding of delegated authority is positively Blackstonian. Federal law also gives far too much power to Napoleonic junior officers and sailors aboard U.S. Navy ships, usurping authority that should only be wielded by the Captain.
