    But they literally can’t. Have you seen the average person try to put their suitcase in the overhead bin? Completely ignoring the sign that is plastered on the door and the back to put it on its side?

    Have you seen the average person try to find their seat, swearing up and down that they purchased extra leg room only to be really seated next to the lavatory?

    The plane would never take off.

    Flight crew should be paid the moment they cross security. At that point they’ve badged in and they should be considered to be at work.

      This would effectively stop the flights yes, thats the point. It shows the labor their doing is necessary,and theyre the only ones who can do it. So they should be paid becuase thats what a fucking job is.

      They do pre boarding outside the plane. They can’t even load the plane if no one does that.

      If planes can’t take off without this essential work, then the people doing it need to be compensated for it.

      Otherwise the plane can stay on the fucking ground.

      Counterpoint, everyone doing hourly work should be paid starting the moment they begin their commute, plus half an hour of prep time.
