They didn't have to put up with the nightmares of being on reserve all month and, best of all, were all hired with no prior experience whatsoever.
If they are doing international, they must have some seniority?? And, they aren't regional FA's either. At Comair, we have FA's with 6 years seniority that are still on reserve.
