According to a report from msn.com [1], Southwest Airlines flight attendants will be reporting for duty five minutes early starting August 2nd. This adjustment is being made due to the increased time passengers are spending stowing their carry-on bags as they board planes, which has been influenced by recent changes in checked baggage fees. The airline's decision comes after a period of increasing delays and boarding issues at various airports across the United States. Passengers have reported taking longer with their luggage, leading Southwest to implement this change in an attempt to streamline the boarding process and reduce wait times for passengers.
