Don't throw bags. Don't push chairs. Protect your careers.
Amen. Not to mention it degrades our profession. You ever see a KLM of Emirates skipper pushing wheelchairs?
I was hired to fly the plane, not to put my livelihood at risk by a potential lawsuit at a company I know won’t back me up in that event.
