At Air Willie you'll find a whole mess of different FA's. Some are here for life some are here just to leave here. I think they get paid pretty good compared to other regional FA's and the bennies are good, so a lot of them tend to like it. And I have found that a lot of our FA's have college degrees and are paying off FAFSA stuff. Obviously not to a rate of $700 a month like me but you get what I'm saying. I think they can live just above poverty level if they don't have those payments. If I didn't have mine, I'd really be enjoying life a lot more.
As to being a flight attendant?
I couldn't do it. I'd end up punching someone, or insulting a small child.
