If I pay an extra €50 to go from 19kg to 23kg, does the worker get paid more?
Thought not.
No they pay 2 workers
So all suitcases between 19 and 23kg are loaded by 2 people at a time?
Bullshit. It's a fake cost and everyone knows it.
It's always just one guy yeeting the bags even when there's 2 of them they never share a bag lol. The extra money pays for the pink heavy tag they put on there that no one listens to.
You should report them. That's a reportable incident.
Exactly. I can understand a maximum upper limit, but the cost bands below that are there only to maximise profits.
Ok, I didn't realize I was talking to an operations manager for an airline. I was just clarifying the point made above.
No problem. I think you've illustrated perfectly how easy it is for airlines to dupe their customers with additional fake charges.
No, I demonstrated reading other comments and synthesizing their text into an easier form for those without reading skills. I am not arguing remotely the same point as you are.
The result of your summary was the erroneous conclusion that the extra cost was for more manpower, demonstrating why the airlines are able to get away with making spurious extra costs.
Go the fuck away and don't talk to me, creeper troll
