90 x $60 TFP = $5400/ mo.
Give away to an FA that makes $40 tfp = $1800 savings just in wages. Now, that FA may not even have health insurance through SWA. If they do, they have to pay their share. In either case it doesn’t cost SWA $1800/ mo in health.
So we have a cost savings of $21k per year. Deduct what, 5 weeks of vacation? At 30 tfp x 60 x 5 weeks is $9k. Throw in one training event in a year.
If it costs them even $500 mo for SWA to carry health insurance, that’s $6k a year plus $9k in vacation. You’re at $15k in expenses.
$21k in wage savings minus $15k in cost carry still comes out to be a cost efficient for the company.
dude, just think about it. Saying, all FAs must work minimums per month will drive costs up for the company, let alone reduce pay at the bottom. The junior FAs depend on senior mamas giving away to make money. It’s a lose-lose. Like I said before, pilots get mad when others are jealous of us, but love to point out how everyone else is a slacker and needs to go. Again, don’t get mad at other employee groups. They aren’t our enemy.
