While I do not condone fraud, there was/is a potential upside to this practice from a passenger perspective. If a FA would prefer "trading favors" to move off a route with a FA that wants to work the route (be it for better pay/hours/locations), the passenger is apt to receive better service. I know some might think it is a stretch, but a FA that would prefer not being there vs. one that does makes a huge difference. Just my opinion, I may be wrong.
