and when FA gets injured sufficiently to deboard, and flight delay likely to occur, airline should just ignore that reality.
and good luck with lawsuit against AirCanada that flight attendants have a legal duty to pick up your bag and stick it in the bin for you
A lot of travellers forget that the main reason FAs are there is in the 0.0001% chance that a safety issue occurs on the flight and you have to evacuate the aircraft. Do you really want a FA with a sore back trying to dispense their duties (i.e. opening emergency exits, freeing stuck pax, etc.)? Sure they have other duties like serving drinks/meals and hawking their airline's CC but if the airlines are to believed, safety is paramount. It also doesn't help when pax insist on taking their carry on luggage with them when this unlikely event occurs and this whole experience demonstrates that pax still have a lot to learn about how to stay safe on this thin metal tubes.
