    If your boss requires you to be somewhere at a specific time… then that is work … right?

    And being on the other end means you are still at work. It is strange that this job went from glamorous to real shit.

      It is strange that this job went from glamorous to real shit.

      You had a government mandated floor on prices until the 70’s in the USA and the 90’s in the EU, which meant that airlines had to compete on amenities and other ways to pull traffic to their airline. Once that price floor was removed, it became apparent that ticket prices were what drove most traffic, so airlines started doing whatever they could to drop ticket prices.
