More than you'd expect. I know a TWA flight attendant who is on furlough (35 years seniority) and she is dying to come back. Most of the TWA senior flight attendants have been doing this their entire lives. Most do it because they enjoy it, not because they want to make lots of $$$. Kids are gone. Unlike being a pilot where the job truly "is not what it used to be," I don't think the flight attendant job has taken as much of a hit. If many of these super senior TWA flight attendants did not leave after 9/11, or did not retire / take early retirement after being furloughed, they are definately coming back!
