When there's limited availability of something, customers come first... Employees come last... Especially when the FA's are using first class storage space.
But again, it’s on the employer to provide the resources the employees need to do their job. The problem is that airlines removed the FAs’ closets to sell one more row of seats, leaving FAs with nowhere to put their bags except the overhead bins. The problem is not the FAs.
And again, those comparing long haul flights on other airlines on which crew check bags to intra-North American narrowbody flights are not comparing apples to oranges. I haven’t looked carefully, but I suspect AA FAs too check bags on long haul flights, and I suspect SQ and KL FAs don’t on short haul.
