No, I do not think this is about flight crews. I cannot speak on behalf of other posters, but if flight crews thought my post was commenting against flight crews then it was not.

I believe employers (in this case airlines) should give proper storage space for their employees during their work. However, rather than provide closet/locker space for crew belongings airlines seems to want to place another seats to sell more tickets. When working away from home base then employer should provide meals but for domestic flights AA no longer provide meals for FAs during flights, so many FAs bring their own meals.

I think it is more of employer/employee situation. I don't think hotels and restaurants will allow their workers to place their personal items in view of customers at public space for customers. I think employers should provide proper working situation (storage space for flight crew's personal belongings) but it is not the case.
