New Fee for United Airlines Passengers
Bad news for United Airlines passengers. The airline is instituting a new $9 fee (the amount may vary) for early boarding. This fee is for Economy passengers, not Basic Economy.
View from the Wing has the story.
The primary reason that passengers prefer to board early is so they can find overhead bin space, so this new fee is essentially a tax on bin space.
It seems likely that the other domestic airlines will copy this new revenue enhancement.
Austin to Dublin $496 Round-Trip (Various Airlines)

A Day in the Life of a Flight Attendant
This is a very good article about the life of an airline flight attendant. In this case the gentleman who was shadowed works for United Airlines.
One thing to note is that FAs don’t get paid anything until the doors of the aircraft are closed. All that smiling at you as you board and de-board the plane are “free” to the airline.
