This isn't generalizable, but I have a friend who's a flight attendant at Southwest. They only get paid for time when they're literally flying. Getting on/off the plane and up into the sky from the tarmac are unpaid time at work.
- rgbrenner 9y agopaid hours and flight hour limits aren't the same thing. The FAA says flight time starts when the plane moves under its own power. So once it moves away from the gate, even if it's just to sit on the tarmac, it still counts as flight time.. and pilots have a limit on the amount of flight time they can log.
