17 things your flight attendant won’t tell you
I found this article quite interesting and a few things surprising. Enjoy! (www.foxnews.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Flight attendants operate under the decades old Railway Labor Act. They are not covered by most current work regulations, such as an 8 hour day, breaks, nor do they get paid overtime. It depends upon the individual contract with the airline as to when they get paid. MOST flight attendants do not get paid from the time they report to work at the airport, nor do they get paid for boarding or deplaning. They get paid from the time the door closes and brakes are released to the time that the aircraft is parked at the gate and the brakes are set, aka "flight time."
All coffee is decaf huh? Why not just roofie the passengers? That will ensure they sleep for the entire flight, and maybe for a few hours after it lands. Also, it will prevent idiots from drinking way too much booze on board and then having to be duct taped to their seat :)
*paint s/b paid
I am under the impression all crews are paint once engines start. It is in humane if otherwise
Great Article! I am sure there could be 17 more you all could come up with!!!
The biggest thing that bugs me, are the folks who REFUSE to check a bag.... So, they have a carryon bag that is way too full, and a backpack. (or HUGE laptop bag, not the normal laptop bags)... then, it takes a FA almost 5 minutes to try to stuff the overstuffed carryon bag in the overhead bin. Or, worse, there isn't a spot in their overhead bin, so FA has to go 10 rows away to find a spot... meanwhile, I just have my backpack, stuffed full, under the seat in front of me... This last flight, I had my laptop, Ipad, nexus 7, pair of flip flops, 6 or 7 magazines, 2 pairs of shorts, about 6 different chargers all stuffed into my backpack, and it still fit under the seat... Why do they have a rule about only ONE carryon, then let people bring a huge dufflebag, plus a "carryon" oh well... I think whoever said it was right... some people lose their minds when entering an aircraft.
