I find it hard to believe that in reality there is any "extra" work being done for this pay.
We have to be onboard 5 extra minutes and have passengers onboard for 5 extra minutes. That’s extra work. That’s less personal time I have and more time I have to spend with passengers.
As far as your “phone” comments…blah…just shows a holier than thou attitude and entitlement some people have and isn’t really worth addressing.
