The FA's have ground pay. Say you are at the gate and the pax are onboard but the door is open, then the gate agent comes down and says you're on a delay program to LGA for the next two hours but they want to keep the pax on the airplane because they might lift it. Once you hit your scheduled push time ground pay comes into the mix, but it is only a fraction of what your hourly rate is.
