Or how the flight attendents sued AirCanada saying that flight attendents deserve the same pay as the pilots. They claimed FA's were payed less because they were mostly women while the pilots were mostly men. Sadly the court sided with the FA's..... however that was like 6 months ago and havnt heard anything since.
When I was hired at Continental Express the new hire flight attendants made more than the new hire FO's. The FO's complained, so the company lower the FA's pay! Woops. That was in the mid '90's. It's different now.
I also made $26/hr to fly a 64 seat ATR-72. That's CAPTAIN pay.
