From the email RE sent out it sounds like this bug is not a top priority right now.

How's everyone feel about sitting for hours for $1.70 an hour with MC door open in LGA to get around DOT 3 hour rule?

Do we fly to Maine?

Same email I got several days ago, with no reply since. Meh. I don't like reading company email anyway.

Excellent point. I would send a FCR to the company and ask for additional compensation or else tell them "Sorry we have to close the door so we don't get paid less then minimum wage or ask the people making the decision if they will also work for 1.70 per hour.

Question about Zed fares on other airlines. Are they an option if trying to fly back to the US from a nonrev internationally and your main flight cancels? If so how do we go about purchasing one? From the ticketing agent?

Don't agree to leave door open. Not just for the money but to evade the 3 hr DOT. If they are on the aircraft and all ground duties done and ready to push, door should be closed. PIC!!!

Get those LMS's done!!!!!!

You've got to be fat.

I've been fortunate to never have this happen, but If the door opens the pax would be getting off until they're ready for us to go again. We, nor the F/A's shouldn't have to babysit pax just because they want to get around the DOT 3 rule.

This is what they had us do this past Sunday at JFK. Had we actually gotten pushed back, I would've continued as planned once the conditions fell below FZRA (which it did not too long after). However, at the gate with no push crew to be found, we complied and opened up the door.
When they told me that the plan was to sit there with the door open indefinitely, I said no, we're going to deplane. They actually put up a little bit of a fight saying "ops wants everyone to remain on board." I said no, they're getting off, made the announcement to the pax myself saying I was going to have them deplane, and it was done.
