[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should know they don’t make any revenue from bags checked at the gate in such a way. I think they “try” as often as they can, before they have to “force” people to check their carryons. I think they just figure it’s easier to ask and get someone who is willing, than to have to force everyone after a certain point. Plus it streamlines the process if they can intermittently check 20 bags as opposed to forcefully checking 20 bags towards the end of the boarding process, all at once, when time is already of the essence. —Flight attendant [/quote] The problem is that they tend to disproportionately and unfairly target women with these “requests” (probably because they anticipate that they‘ll be less likely to push back)[/quote] That's 99.999% most likely the reason. They've been told "we need 20 bags to be checked" (why is IT ALWAYS 20? ) and they want to make it happen smoothly for them [/quote]
