When this airline started 22 years ago starting pay for a FA was $20 a hour. More than two decades later its ........... $21 a hour. Let that sink in.

I hope most their new hires quit and continue to quit. I also hope more crash pads get raided like what happened in Boston. Airlines need to learn that can't pay people $1700 a month to live in Bos and NYC.

Actually $1700 a month no longer cuts it in Florida either.

“We’re always comparing salaries across the industry to make sure we’re paying industry-average wages and not a penny more. It’s not our fault that you choose to live in a city with such a high cost of living…”

A regular line doesn't pay 200k in the right seat. It's not everyone's jam to work extra hours, for a number of reasons.

They spoke to two FAs: One who couldn't hack it beyond two weeks, and one who wouldn't put their name to it. And those are sources? What a joke...

TWU is really getting it done for them. Let that sink in.

I'm shocked that the same union the MTA in New York has doesn't have the best interests of the FAs in mind.

hopefully if Spirit merger goes thru the can get vote out TWU. I believe that Spirit is represented by AFA, if so that will be a giant leap forward for our inflight.
