  1. Now you will feel the pain of a truck driver ! 😮 10 hour rest

  2. But nurses are good working 12 hours. 😂

  3. What’s the difference between 9 hours and 10 that’s a joke lol that’s like asking a pedo to stop and he does it one time a week like come on

  4. Most of us can't even get 8hrs to rest !😂

  5. That is because they are overweight and are not in good health like in the old days when flight attendants were slim and in shape.

  6. This is what happens when you put woke socialist morons in charge at the FAA, instead of solving flight disruptions, they're going to cause more and instead of flight attendants being able to get back on a normal schedule, many will end up stuck at airports and hotels overnight because they have to wait until their "allowed" to work again!

  7. Good ..they need alot more than 10 hours. Huge pay raise, too. With the nut jobs they have to deal with. I used to be a glamorous job. NO MORE.. more of a low level crapola job.

  8. what? I have no idea how they even get to do enough work to deserve a break,, between doing nothing or just smiling at people, let alone a 10hr turn around? WOW,, I don't get it at all. I guess some politician's new wife is a flight attendant maybe? If the laziest jobs EVER created deserves a min 10hr break between shifts, every other job in the U.S.A deserves the same too.

  9. Had a delayed flight that got turned around and canceled cause the crew timed out…timed out…they literally work 45 minutes per flight….COs work 12 get last manned to 16 and be back at 6 am on Tuesday

  10. We better watch out for Karens
