Don't know if they are making quite that much
I amde probably 425/day with SWA crews staying at my hotel. It was only $3.50 a crew - pilots tipped $1 each and the F/A got together for $0.50 each. the MOST I ever made in a day was $150 and that was because OKC was hosting something along the lines of a national sport's event and my hotel was right downtown next to all the action. Now the crew's did tip better if you took them out ot eat. that is nice since we weren't suppose to do that (not in the contract - doesn't that sound familiar?) I do find it funny that the tip is still the same after 20 years. With pilot pay dropping I guess they should be glad!

PS - USMC-(S)SGT. My crews NEVER had to wait for me and NEVER lifted a single bag! Johnny on the spot here!
I'm sure you know this already. But when the time comes to apply for that job you want, DON'T leave that job/experience off your resume/app.
