Reading the full article, rather than watching the short video, explains it quite well. There are two separate issues here: the first is about F/A's selling their passes. This quote is from the article: "Employees can give the passes, which permit inexpensive travel, to friends and family but cannot sell them. According to United, some passengers paid as much as $4,000 for a year’s worth of discounted flights."
The second issue is (Wolfpack of F/A's) that senior F/A's were bidding on the best trips, with the intention of SELLING them to less senior F/A's, and were doing so. This from the article: "Those trades are not the issue,” McKeen said. “What we’re addressing is the growing problem of selecting, trading, or parking a pairing to broker, buy, or sell it to another flight attendant."
As an aside, Riverside, you sound like a jerk. That is all!
