DELTA FLIGHT ATTENDANT

[TangoBearFox]

Here is the Delta Pay table for flight attendants. New trainees should seriously consider being a flight attendant if they aren't at a 12.

Maybe if you're at a four. They don't work full time hours.

Here is the Delta Pay table for flight attendants. New trainees should seriously consider being a flight attendant if they aren't at a 12.

While the hourly rates look great, they work roughly 80hrs a month instead of 40hrs a week. So the starting pay is around 35k a year

Maybe if you're at a four. They don't work full time hours.

And they only have to be fours nowadays, so overall a pretty good rate.

Hold your manufactured outrage. Being a flight attendant is NOT a 40 hour a week job. Academy students make about what a first year FA makes. They won't make AG pay until at least year 4. These two are NOT the same.

The max a flight attendant can work is 1000 hours a year

Not a proponent of flight attendants, but to be fair the ~80/month they work is brakes released on push, to brakes set on arrival, and doesn’t include duty time. And they spend roughly half their life on the road. But for what they do, open Cokes, and yes they learn how to evac the plane, they’re paid very well

So they will make more than a level 4 controller

Delta flight attendants get paid for boarding now too

They make effectively $15 to $20 an hour starting out, I wouldn't say they are appropriately paid but they have arguably a worse union than us.

When you are away from home 50% of the month and on reserve and not paid for 25%+ of the time you are required to be at work it is ridiculous how little they are paid

Yeah they don't do too much but they are required by the FAA to be there for safety and should be paid more

I don't particularly care about this argument, but don't count out the fact they get per diem (I think its $3.40 an hour for every single hour they are away. I believe that includestime sleeping and when they are waiting around the airport). Plus they also get profit sharing which can be huge. I believe last year it equaled a month of pay for an old friend. But honestly what the hell do I know.....

The flight attendants themselves shit on most arguements. They make mid level CPC pay, after all thinga considered.
