AND- at the same outfit the FA’s would leave the cabin lights on full bright the whole red-eye because “it’s too dark and we can’t see the passengers when we are doing service.”
And that airline is wondering why they aren’t making money.

"We just reached FL330. I'm going to turn off the seat belt sign so you're free to move about the cabin. However while you're in your seats keep your seat belt fastened...yada yada yada."
Zip it. Everybody's asleep and no one cares.

Once the first run over is complete, the average FA crew in a van has already moved on to a 20 minute discussion on what their cat's are doing 3 time zones away along with analyzing the latest episode of the Kardashians.
