American Airlines flight attendants are demanding more pay for working flights to London, citing increased workload tied to an ongoing catering mess at Heathrow. I understand the frustration…but this feels like the wrong hill to die on.
That has created a more complicated service flow for flight attendants. The union representing American flight attendants argues this has “significantly increased workload” and is now demanding additional compensation, even escalating the dispute formally.
There is no question that Flight Attendants working these flights are doing more work under more difficult conditions, without any corresponding adjustment to staffing or compensation, and that is not acceptable.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
