Not to mention their $0 hourly wage when they double as cabin cleaners.
I think the company fuels that fire on a daily basis. Paying customers to rat on them for legally using their cell phones, abusing them daily, writing them up for being a minute late to the gate, airport standby, etc. I could never do inflight here if if being an FA was in my cards. Also, they get paid 15 mins a day for cleaning I believe.

Well that I did not know... but agree with all of your points. I don't think I could be an FA, period. The stuff they have to deal with and still wear that fake smile all day. I couldn't do it.

The FA’s have virtually no work rules here. How they haven’t unionized yet is beyond me.

One just mentioned they're at 60%. Not sure if that's enough but she mentioned "cards are at 60%".
Hope they get the union.
B6 deserves all work-groups to be unionized.

I had no idea Inflight was attempting to unionize. Can anyone confirm this or share any details?

Their pay chart can be found in Comply under Inflight Scheduling Manual (ISM). It ranges from $25 - $54 year 1 to 13.

60%? All they need is 50% plus 1, correct?

I believe this is just a campaign to call for an election. They actually only need 30% by law to trigger an election. But, the higher the percentage, the more bargaining leverage they have by saying they represent the "majority" of the workforce, if a union is voted in during the next phase.

The union wants cards from 80%. A FA told me they have 75%.

It’ll be nice to work with inflights who aren’t completely exhausted and beat down all the time for a change.
