That is a huge deal. They should be paid from the minute they enter the airport but this is at least a step in the right direction. Another W for unions

Agreed!

Flight attendants typically are not paid until the aircraft doors close. All that greeting, seating, sorting out problems, and assistance with bags is off the clock.

This makes no sense. This is a major part of their job. Imagine what would happen if they stopped doing this function altogether - boarding would become unbearable.

Next I'll find out that the pay stops as soon as the doors open and they're not getting paid to help people off the plane or greet them. (Seriously, I hope I don't find this out because it's not true.)

It does stop the second the door opens. No idea if this change fixes that too tho

Well, that's disappointing. Totally do not understand this culture of doing work and not getting paid for it.
