Do your readers know that flight attendants are not paid until the brakes on the plane are unlocked and the plane is ready to move back from the jetway. This I know is the policy with one airline. I would be interested to know if all airlines have the same policy.

Yes DJ that is correct we don't start getting paid until the the parking break is released. I know all of the airlines that i interviewed with do this and the airline i work for now does the same thing. I've heard from some FAs that some airlines that start pay from times the wheels go up until the wheels go down.

Wait a minute...so all of the assisting travelers getting their bags into the overhead compartments, etc. etc. that happens during predeparture, flight attendants don't get paid for that? How is that right?

why is it when a flight attendant happens to voice his/her opinion about....whatever...it is always viewed as "FA hate their jobs, get a different one" attitude - seriously people? I love my job, like any other job - people piss you off sometime and so we vent - don't want to read about FA venting - here's an idea - READ DIFFERENT BLOG!!
