[quote=Anonymous]As a workers' compensation specialist, here's why flight attendants are neither required and oftentimes not even allowed to assist with overhead bags. Doing so fundamentally changes the nature of the job from a light duty job to a medium to heavy duty job. It increases the number of injuries to staff exponentially and it significantly increases the cost of workplace injuries. It takes much more rehabilitation to recover sufficiently to perform a medium to heavy job, if that is even possible, than it does to return to a light duty job. That means greater costs for medical care and greater costs for lost time plus the overtime to cover the shifts vacated by injured workers. So, people should be prepared to either handle their own bags or have their bags checked when they board the plane if they cannot. I don't really understand why people expect that airlines provide this service, but in fact, they do not. [/quote]
