Parakeet, I was late boarding, and came in at the tail end. (2) It was a simply standard cabin bag she was trying to hoist into the overhead locker, normal weight. (3) Cabin Managers, and some staff know from the manafest know EXACTLY who are staff and who are not, (4) it did not seem to concern the male PAX, to help a rather slight middle aged lady to get her luggage stored away, (and he was not paid to do it) its called consideration, perhaps even manners. There is no way I could walk past some struggling female pax without helping, and I suggest most of the people posting on PPrune could not either, but perhaps the attitude of pilots are a little different to SOME cabin crew.
