When one finds the working conditions at either a current or prospective employer, including to but no limited to pay or benefits issues, itolerable or unacceptable, alternatives are always available to such individuals.

IMHO salary based on commissions will have a effect on safety of operation. Poor, hungry, eager F/A’s will be more willing to push the envelope by keeping the galley carts out later than they should during normal and adverse weather operations. Someone is going to get hurt! Think about it… does the commission from the sale of perfume outweigh the expenses of a flight attendant defending their won law suit?

The base pay/commission concept has been proven and is still going strong with a number of carriers overseas.

Shame on those airlines with such compensation programs, and more over shame on those adults who accept work with any airline that sponsors such compensation program!
