This seems unfair and greedy to me.

yeah... I saw it, I think it was this girl who worked as one, explaining to people why you shouldn't order coffee during flights because it is nasty

she also mentioned this and few other things

Airlines lose a whole lot of money, a LOT of money... and because of this, they also squeeze out a lot of it from anybody they can, including their own workers, and of course you, the client, lol

So effectively anything they do before hand is slave labour. I wonder if airports aren't covered by labour laws to avoid issues with planes from different countries.

Yeah, it means they showed up to work and sober and ready to perform their job duties. It’s probably because flight attendants in the past showed signs of of intoxication and they wouldn’t let them come aboard. Especially when they’re going to stay somewhere near the beach or get hooked up at a hotel with a pool on a beautiful sunny day with an outdoor bar.. they need to stay disciplined lol..

  They also have to sit on planes sitting on the ground for hours and not get paid. How is that fair?

  Planes get delayed and the attendants still have to sit in them, sans pay.

  That is sort of like the janitor wanting to be called a sanitation engineer.

If they are required to be there, they should be paid.

  They are not paid for all the time they work. That is corporate greed.
