In addition, she explained why they were so opposed to SFO 3-day(starts around 30:00 if you can understand Chinese). According to her, the SFO route is very tiring for FAs. She said the 4-5 day trips were already killers because the load factor is very high in all cabins and there are a lot of "Gui Bing", otherwise known as Infinity Mileageland Diamond and Gold card members.
They also said that the arrival time is during the hotels checkout so the outside noise is actually quite a bit(housekeeping etc.).
Talk about lazy...
I don't understand what this FA was complaining about on public TV. I have to wonder why she chose to be a flight attendant. (Or even chose to work at all.)
Perhaps FAs believe they deserve longer rest period once they land in SFO. However, I have to laugh at the following reasons:
SFO flights too full.
Too many Gold members on the flight.
Pilots have longer rest period. FAs should be the same.
Noise in hotel.
