I know an FA at SWA that made 125 grand five years ago. The FA system at SWA is actually easier to maneuver than the pilots. Flight attendants have multiple opportunities to make time and a half every month. Plus the company often offers time and a half during the month when they are desperate to cover trips.
There are plenty of FAs that make more than the new FOs..........its amazing that the FAs make more to serve Coke and Sprite than the regional pilots make to fly the plane!!!!! Nothing against FAs.......but its crazy that the pilots at a regional make so little and have so much responsibility!
