It’s a stressful boarding process made only more stressful by FAs interrupting the music (on the Max) to remind people to sit down. Maybe that made sense when we had 10 minute turns, but these days? It just makes the product unpleasant.

We have the FA manual on our EFB. It’s interesting to read the PA section on what is actually required vs what they do.
