I bet pilots do more plane changes than FA's because the company uses pilot shuffles to drive our credit lower yet still move metal because the FA's are already onboard (and quite often brought the plane in compared to pilots from what I've seen) because the company's view is that FA's have to already be there to board while pilots can walk down a crowded jetway, hit some switches and get'r dunn.
Plane changes should pay
WAY more than boarding.
