Why would I help them at other times? It is not overwhelming to them and its part of their job. Now, if they do my walk around for me when its raining or below zero then we are in business.
Do you guys have really short turns where time is critical? My airline seems to have on average 40 min turns. Maybe thats why I usually have more than enough time to help out. I always go out and help the FA cross seatbelts. I agree they have a job to do, but it doesnt take any special effort to be nice. The sooner the seat belts are crossed, the sooner everyone can sit around and relax. On the other hand I will not help if the FA just sits there and assumes that I will do all of it. I used to fly a B1900 and I was the one that had to cross belts. It would have been nice if the captains would have helped every now and then, so I guess I appreciate it more.
