[@beautfulbriana]

I’m at my desk at Wells Fargo praying to God to help me with the decision on Delta. This helped so much!!! Thank you!

[@NicksDynasty]

I hope everything turns out the way you want it. Good luck

[@beautfulbriana]

Omg how ironic! I start in July ♥️ I’m rewatching this video lol I literally can’t thank you enough

[@NicksDynasty]

@@beautfulbriana + boarding pay now!!! and higher pay scale

[@bonniephelps2054]

THANK YOU!! Perfect Video. You are the first person claiming to tell how much a flight attendant earns that actually delivered! Thank you for breaking it down and making it easy to understand. Excellent job!

[@NicksDynasty]

My pleasure! I love being honest about the job

[@ttylgirlzrock6]

Congratulations on your 1st year!!!! 🎉

[@NicksDynasty]

Thank you thank

[@nyishasmith5047]

Thank you for being straight forward and to the point!

[@NicksDynasty]

My pleasure. They pay scale is also higher now. I made an updated video as well

[@Come_fly_with_tee]

Thank you for teaching these things, as a new FA I’m still learning, -also love your episode on CNBC 😊

[@NicksDynasty]

You are so welcome! Just want to spread the knowledge. I hope you enjoy your new career. That CNBC episode was so fun

[@mariliamiller6400]

Great video!!Thank you!

My pleasure

[@buildit6429]

Thanks for sharing the info

[@NicksDynasty]

THanks for watching!

[@MsSwagedout]

This was very informative, thank you!

[@NicksDynasty]

Thanks for watching! The bigger the airline more likely the more hours and money you can get

[@laxpudgie]

great breakdown, i did this for years and was very vocal about how bad the pay was to other FAs. I realized turns, although not as fun, made me the most money. Its a weird and sometimes bad life work balance in the job (depending what u want out of life), total lifestyle.

[@NicksDynasty]

Thank you! High value turns bring in the big bucks for sure. I heard they take out more takes from those trips since there is no layover or the per diem is taxed The job is so flexible for me now. I only work 3.4 days a week and I love it. Money is solid for me and I have time to follow my dreams Thanks for leaving a comment.

[@laxpudgie]

@@NicksDynasty of course man, i lived in and worked out of a HCOL city. qualified for food stamps first few years and lived at home. It got super flexible tho and was super enjoyable but still the money wasnt there, left for financial reasons and a relationship. I miss it everyday tho, ive heard its changed a lot since ive been gone tho, as all things. Glad to hear its going well for you, enjoy it and cherish it

[@bre7931]

This is literally the BEST breakdown of FA pay. I’m at a regional right now and I applied to DL. I passed the assessment and I’m scheduled for an interview. I’m praying and manifesting this job. I know DL is one of the few airlines that pay you during training. Was the lay weekly or biweekly and how much was it? And was there a check you got after completing training? Thank you 😊

[@NicksDynasty]

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you applied and I wish you luck. Training pays minimum wage and it is paid by weekly during training

[@bre7931]

I got a CJO! Can you fly over 130 hours as a new FA for your company? What’s the most you flew in a month? Thank you

[@NicksDynasty]

@@bre7931 congratulations!!!! You can work 130 if you follow all the rest requirement. You can pick up trips 130 is A LOT make sure you rest sometimes the most I've done is 120.

[@Sam199635]

That’s a lot more than I expected. Can you make a video on how COVID has affected your life as a flight attendant?

[@NicksDynasty]

More than I expected too. I'll write down some points to see if I can make a video about it. Covered it a bit in my 1st Year Review video. It hasn't been too too bad

[@NicksDynasty]

I actually have a semi-new video now and I speak on how Covid has me as a FA financially. It's Called "Saving 20K___" on my channel

[@wesley_roberts]

Quick question. You said in a previous comment only 6 days was “reserve”. Was this because you filled up your monthly calendar with trips yourself? And if I do this myself can I avoid the whole “waiting for a call”? I have a good shot with getting a CJO at United but would have to commute so this is important. Thanks!

[@NicksDynasty]

With my company junior FA are only on call 6 days each month. I'm not sure how United does it. While we are on call we can preference trips so we don't have to sit and wait but you are not guaranteed your preference. If you did commute you could get a crashpad or get hotel rooms for when your waiting overnight

[@somewhrntm]

For what flight attendants have to put up with from customers… You guys should be making no less that $150 per day straight out the door! ALWAYS!

[@laxpudgie]

honestly in my experience customers were largly very decent, at least to me. Theres kind of an unsaid code when ur on a plane, opposed to say public transportation. People dont turn blind eyes really, ur on a tube flying thru the sky afterall.

[@sarahvecseri5308]

Thank you, this is very helpful!! Which airline you work for? Trying to figure out which places are the best to work for from people with firsthand experience

[@NicksDynasty]

Your so welcome! Southwest, Delta or American Airlines would be best work for

[@bigpoppa4094]

@@NicksDynasty not United ?

[@NicksDynasty]

@@bigpoppa4094 I mean maybe. I think they are getting better. Also they more international that's a plus

[@jeremylevin2470]

If you're on a 3-day Pairing, isn't your per diem (TAFB) calculated from initial check-in until last arrival time at base? Your Day 1 example of per diem for 11.03 hours seems off.

[@NicksDynasty]

It is just an example for payment for a duty day and not indicative of a whole payment. The calculation is to show our total workday compensation it does not include payment for layover per diem

[@TLEAGLE765]

Great video I'm considering being a flight attendant in the future.Was it hard to get into the job as far a training and such?

[@NicksDynasty]

All airlines are different and the big 5 pay the most The interview process was long and the training is 6 weeks kinda hard but you can do it

[@TLEAGLE765]

@@NicksDynasty Oh okay is the big 5 that you refer to Delta, Southwest,United,American and Alaska??Ide assume you'd want to be in with Delta or United?Ideally

[@NicksDynasty]

@@TLEAGLE765 Southwest and Delta pay the most and United has the most destinations

[@carolabroad8302]

Let me ask you a question, how many hours you actually worked ish a week? I know you said probably 109 average hours flying. I’d like to know you average hours outside your base/home. Could you tell me?

[@NicksDynasty]

I don't really keep track of this. I am mostly gonna from home like 3 or 3.5 days a week Sometimes 5- 5.5 days per week. It just depends. When you first start your schedule is all over the place Maybe gone from home 100 hours every 2 weeks.

[@nerdbamarich2063]

Your hair is getting super long. I think you should get some two strand twist or some box braids lol. But on the real though it's always good to see you posting content😊

Going to do something sometime soon. Thought about twisit. May try something different in the winter. Thanks for always watching

[@robbiemorimoto]

I’m currently working at UPS preload to become a driver $170K a year, but I have dream of becoming flight attendant at delta but pay is much less huh?😢

[@NicksDynasty]

UPS is great money but hard on your body and have to work overtime to make that advertise $170k package. The big 4 airlines would be fun and you can make $100k+ depending on how many hours your want to fly. Choice is yours. Check my latest video about FAs it has more of a break down

[@wootwoot5032]

When you made this video, were you with Delta?

[@NicksDynasty]

One of the legacy airlines

[@PilotWinks]

I’m guessing you were on reserve?? Since first year?

[@NicksDynasty]

I was not on reserve. I was only on reserve 6 days out of the month other than that I had my own trips.

[@tomtoka]

interesting, I got an offer from major airline too, and I am going to decline it, the 30-37k pay is a way too low for me. sad

[@NicksDynasty]

A major airline only making 30-37k in your first year? It's one of the big 4? If you work above average you can get to 50k in your first year

[@NicksDynasty]

You should take it and try it.. if you applied you should try for sure

Apply the the big 4 airlines if you are in the US

[@christopherhennessey8991]

So I would say you don’t get paid enough.However, people go to work for the airlines for the love of the industry not the pay.

[@NicksDynasty]

Interesting. How much would I need to make for it to be "enough"?

[@NicksDynasty]

Also, there are many roles in the airline industry. Operations and corporate (all get flight benefits) and there are quite a few high-paying jobs at the companies.

[@dinagreen6583]

I have wondered about first year pay as a FA because I keep hearing when you have to relocate to base and only get reserve hours it can be a very low salary. Is there some truth to this? How do people survive financially the first year?

[@NicksDynasty]

It's all about being at the higher paying customers and being fiscally wise. If you keep your expenses low and make more money then you are always good

[@NicksDynasty]

Some companies are reserve and also low pay but if you work for SWA, DAL, Alaska and American you should be cool. Just do your math

[@dinagreen6583]

@@NicksDynasty thank you so much! I was losing hope and thought maybe I needed to give up this dream based on salary. What about United - would they also be considered well paid being a legacy airline?

[@NicksDynasty]

@@dinagreen6583 Yes they are well-paid. I'm just not sure about the first year. For the long term, the big 5 are good. check this sheet out docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ovjhi-RIRWIdTOmbjTwGBo9Nt4JNO2BBVmWhwyzQ2Bo/edit?usp=sharing
