January and February are notoriously slower month so I don’t see this as being systemic .
more of a Covid/holiday crush. Things will return to normal in January.. but this upcoming summer .. it’s Gonna very interesting.
Try $40. Seriously. Im not joking. Unless it’s a
fairly senior FA your literally talking $40-50 when you offer 200%.
I have no idea how we have FAs work for this $hit and how we even have an airline with 160+ aircraft and 600-700+ departures a day. At the end of the day this business does NOT happen without those in back. Truly amazing to me.
