Slippery slope from the new mandate that we supervise deplaning to folding seat belts and looking for syringes when it's in writing and becomes an accepted operating practice over time.
IMO we have a great group of CP's and I haven't heard of an undeserved NOI in years, which could all change overnight without anyone asking my opinion on the changes.
It is because the way we get paid is stupid. We only get paid when we move. Never mind we work a lot harder during a turn than in cruise.
Regular pay should start at scheduled departure time -:30, and end at actual/scheduled arrival +:15 for every individual leg. Any requirement to do more, engine run, repo, jetway doesn't work but cargo door is opened, stay to run the APU in FLL/clean the back (WTF), aso should be extra.
Reason it won't happen: Company doesn't want it, and legacy senior WB don't want it.
