My personal opinion is that the PDB is both a tradition and an essential requirement for the front cabin. If we can take five minutes to explain to everyone how to buckle a seat belt, we can serve a PDB.
can somebody explain why domestic flights it’s such a challenge to board and for people to put bags in the overhead?
seems like international flights I rarely if ever see challenges with people putting bags up and at least in my experience flying DL or other carriers international everybody boards and is able to put bags up to the point we are usually waiting anywhere from 10-35 minutes to push back with everybody settled in.
point of reference I have been on international wide bodies and narrow bodies where everybody is able to board, place bags above, settle in, and we still have time on the ground to waste before departure time.
