    The sticking point in their negotiations is just that - they don’t get paid for the work they do when the plane is not in the air.

        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.
