So before the doors are closed and after the doors are opened again they still have to work (help customers to their seats, distrubute pillows and blankets) but don't get paid? Sounds like exploitation to me.
The analogy would be for people working in a store to be told to arrive at 7 am to stock the shelves and stay until 9 pm to finish counting the money, but only get paid from 9 am to 7 pm while the store is open to the public.
I don't doubt that employers would love this, but until now I couldn't imagine that this would hold in a court of law. I thought slavery had been abolished some time ago.
