As a flight attendant you can imagine the amount of crap and baggage (mental and physical) passengers bring on board.
We have a 'no lift' policy. Basically our motto is "you pack it you stack it, I touch it I tag it." Any pax bags that are too heavy for them to stow gets taken off, tagged and put in the hold.
If we injure ourselves through lifting pax baggage the airline will have no sympathy with us and we could be off work for quite some time on basic pay.
I always refuse to stow any pax bags (ladies little purse or passenger with additional needs with a light bag I will assist) apart from that I will not put myself at risk. The number of fit and able people who look at petite moi to help them put their bags away makes me mad. I will help find space in an overhead locker...that's about it!
