:yeahthat:And it's SO frustrating when I'm sitting on an airplane as a passenger and hear some FA bragging about her two successful boutique stores. Air fares are so cheap now I don't see why these people can't just buy a ticket (they can obviously afford it) and get positive space rather than try to compete for all too often limited or nonexistent nonrev seats. Let people who really want/need the job have it! I mean I can't compete with business owners as a candidate. /end rantI believe it.
Honestly, I've found those who last the longest are typically men or women who are retired, or were very successful in another career path. They are somewhat financially stable, therefore use the FA salary as "fun money" and take full advantage of the travel benefits to see the world.
Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Just something I've noticed.
The only problem is that it becomes difficult for those who enjoy the job and want to make a career of it to advance pay and benefits at the regional level.
Kinda like the pilots.
1st year FA's at Express, and many other regionals make more than I do... Maybe I chose the wrong job lol... kidding about the last part:beer:
