[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard FAs say- I don't lift bags.

It always catches me by surprise when it is a elderly woman or really short woman or even an unaccompanied 12 year old who can't lift their bag up. Also, I have a terrible back but I am still helping other people when the FAs refuse to help[/quote]

I am one of the people calling the overreactors here jerks but I don't think FAs (or anyone) should be REQUIRED to help and I believe FAs are sometimes not allowed to because it exposes the airline to workers comp risks[/quote]
Of course they shouldn't. They aren't even PAID while passengers are boarding. What kind of a AH would ask someone not even being paid to do a basic task that they should be able to complete themselves.[/quote]

This is like saying teachers aren’t paid in the summer or on school breaks. While technically those days/minutes are not part of the work contract, the salary/wages they are paid takes into account that certain times are not paid. Exempt office workers aren’t even paid by the hour or eligible for overtime - you are paid a salary to get the job done. Period. If you have to stay late oh well.[/quote]
First FAs are hourly, not salary. Second, yes, if a teacher is OFF during the summer I would not call them up and expect them to teach my child. Exactly my point. [/quote]

Its not the FA job and they are not allowed for safety but a decent person would help.  And, yes, some of us use tutors/teachers over the summer.[/quote]
You don't understand the difference between hiring a teacher to tutor your child, and requesting an off-work teacher teach them with no pay? You're just looking to argue with people about your laziness and entitled attitude at this point.[/quote]
