    Reminder that flight attendants only get paid while the plane doors are closed. All of the flight prep, onboarding, stowing baggage, deplaning afterwards, cleanup afterwards, etc is entirely unpaid.

      I still don’t understand how that’s legal.

      Their place of employment is the airplane, they have duties that are required to be performed before and after passengers embark, they should be payed the moment they step foot on the aircraft.

      It’s not legal for a retail store to not pay you while closing up the store, so why is legal for airlines to not pay attendant when the plane is open.

        The funniest part of this is that there’s approved union contact in place that agrees with this statement. How is it that both sides could agree to what appears to be illegal?

          How can a union contract supersede state and federal law?

            If a contract existed before a law, there can be an exception. It’s rather unfortunate.
