And the cream of the crop widebody CAs who really work it making well north of half a mil a year. Again, not taking anything away from Spirit. Great gig. Awesome QOL for those guys and still great pay. But there is a ton of money at AA to be had. But if you'd like to educate me on our contract further, by all means...
No one is ever gonna say that you can't make a fortune at AA, but what's the point of making all that money if you spend most of your time away from home?
