Please don't tell me crewmembers are stealing toilet paper from hotels. Jesus.
The problem with FA pay, is PSA can run an ad in any small-town newspaper in the US and have a hundred applicants show up. Three weeks or so later, they'll have created twenty or thirty new flight attendants.
There is realistically no barrier to entry for flight attendants. So long as PSA can find people who can read, speak, and understand English, flight attendant pay will be low.
It would be nice if they were paid enough they could start tipping the hotel van drivers, at a minimum.
