@JP6971@AmericanAir Its called flight benefits…if the seat is open an employee can take it for essentially nothing. Its a perk of being an airline worker…nothing new bud
@FlyingWithSara@wildforcongress They get paid relatively high hourly wages which equals out all the time spent before push back and after. Plus they serve people…yes they are trained to handle many different situations and that is a big part of their job but the primary purpose is passenger satisfaction.
@FlyingWithSara@wildforcongress So wheres the line then? When do they start getting paid? When they wake up? Are on their way to the airport? Go through security? You need a definitive start time and that is that actual “off block” push back time
@ciprian2709@DarinoManny@Turbinetraveler Because the 777 is the most popular all around long distance widebody. Heavily used in both cargo and passenger transport. They don’t need to sell like the 737 or a320s its a different market
@ciprian2709@DarinoManny@Turbinetraveler Yeah you can’t use statistics like that, thats incorrect. If we treated statistics like that then any statistic that has a larger pool to use would be higher than one that has a smaller pool and it would seem as if the smaller was indefinitely safer
@ciprian2709@DarinoManny@Turbinetraveler 737 max had a total of 346 and air india had 260 thats 606. 737 was an issue of both design but more specifically training and lack of disclosure to some airlines. Air india was suicide. By the way you need to compare incidents per flight not total number of incidents
