8. Payment to flight attendants is withheld until the aircraft door is closed.

Many airlines pay flight attendants by the hour, but only after the aircraft door is closed. This means they are not paid for the time spent on pre-flight preparations or after landing. As a result, delays before takeoff can be especially frustrating, since crew members are not earning wages during this time.
This pay structure is unique to the airline industry, where ground time is not counted as working hours. Flight attendants must manage their time carefully, balancing job demands with the realities of their pay. Delays can mean long hours without pay, adding extra stress to an already tough job.
