Annoyance factors:
- At international airports and hub airports,m the flight crew represent a constant stream of people. So the line shuts down for 10-15 minutes while the flight crew for multiple flights or large wideboday aircraft go through.
- Attitude displayed by some crew members is well, impolite to say the least.
- Flight crew tend to not only cutr the line but also toss away pax belongs off the belt and push pax to get immediately through the lineup. In essence the flight are not willing to accept a 1-2 minute wait while pax with carryon articles on the belt are handled.
- While flight crew display a sense of urgency at the security line, they immediately head for the 15 minute starbuck line once through security.
