[@marco_75.7]

The pay breakdown does not add up; for ex, making 80 hrs monthly with two weeks off, even with per diem is measly. . The only people i see working this are married ones with extra income coming from their spouse. . It will take about 3+ years, from what ive read, before you start making decent money.

Gotta wonder why I watch this channel, I don’t travel much and have no interest in flying really.

Super informative and nicely presented. Thanks so much!! If I ever become a flight attendant, I'm thanking you first! 💚✈

[@danieltongaww]

Hey so what ever you don don’t do cruise lines now I only can say for carnival you don’t make as much and you are gone for months you have to sign a contract so if your single then you may like it but usually it’s like 4-7 months away at sea. Now flight attendants at first will not make that much and it’s a Seniority company so the longer you’re there the better you’re going to get paid and get the better hours in lines however starting out you’re probably going to make less than what you currently make. But in the long run flight attendants make very good and in most cases pay more than what teachers make sometimes double

[@mauriceryton]

Interesting, especially about the luggage into the overhead bins. Considering the number of people inside those flying tubes and the abusive customers you have to tolerate flight attendants are for the most part great. I witnessed a guy be very rude to a young flight attendant, he was totally out of order. When she got to me and my wife l said not to listen to guys like him and that she was doing a great job. I also told her that her perfume was really lovely too. Unless in business or first class the space is tight. Choose to be nice, get to know your seat neighbour and either chat or respect that they just want to be left alone. My wife and l always have good flights because we make them good by engaging the cabin crew and treating others nicely.

As a captain for a regional airline,,,,it’s the same for us too.

[@DaneRates]

@@JettingJulia If the airline you working for is struggling and not profitable. It's understandable that employees sacrifice and work on the clock at times for free. If the airline is doing very well and has a Billion dollars profit in the bank after playing the bill for the stock holders , employees, equipment and advertising. Then they can and should treat their employees better. With some kind of fair and reasonable compensation. When you're on company property in uniform punch in on the clock at your work station. Or a 1to 4 hour delay and then a flight cancellation. They could offer free or discounted air flights, food, hotel stays or just a lower paid scale for those times. The TEAMSTERS in Chicago IL can give you advice on what is responsible and what's not.

The flight attendants are mostly stand by for the whole flight except they are serving us snacks and beverages. Other professional jobs, you are expected to work the whole time you are on the clock, sometimes work extra hours from home.

[@cynthiaivers1708]

The airline does pay, in a sense. The hourly rate is meant to compensate the flight attendant for all time expended. So if a flight attendant's hourly rate is $40 - it really isn't as you can expect to be on duty around twice the amount of flight hours - so the flight attendant's REAL hourly rate is around $20.

[@jpfly66]

I spent 16 years as a Flight Attendant with UAL. My hourly topped out but for the most, part the big difference was the per diem rates between domestic and international. In the late 90s, a long month was 85 hours. Now, I have friends that are still flying and fly 100-110 hours a month. There are also many incentive rates like for Purser, holiday or night pay. Like you, I tried to fly Lead or Purser as much as possible. I also went to DU (Our ala mater) Law School while flying.

[@johnsymons76]

It has always irked me that FAs don't get paid for handling boarding. I have seen them, especially in First/Business Class, rush about the cabin serving pre-departure drinks and "making nice" with the passengers. Some of them truly go out of their way to make the passengers feel welcome and special in their cabin. All of this is taking place as other passengers shuffle through the cabin and often ask the FAs questions as they are trying to get their passengers settled in for the flight. Whew! That makes me tired just explaining it! LOL! It impresses me that most FAs seem to do this in a good and friendly way when I am quite aware that they are not being PAID to perform this service. Talk about dedication to their jobs! So, hats off to these incredible people. You are appreciated by some of us! Take care and Happy Travels! ♥️🛫🌐

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you so much John! Boarding is honestly the most stressful part of our flights, especially when we are working first/business and have so many different things to do! I truly believe we should be compensated for the time we are working during boarding and hope to see that changed during my time as a FA. Thank you as always for watching 🤗

I am surprised Allegiant isn’t on that website...as you mentioned, each airline is different. For anyone for is not looking to stay in a hotel every night, Allegiant trips at out and backs, so if you are a LAS based flight attendant, you may do a 2 leg trip (LAS-MEM for example) or 4 leg trip (LAS-OAK-LAS-GJT-LAS)..I will have to check to see what the staring pay is, I believe it’s $27hr...Allegiant is union and they are TWU. Allegiant is lots of bases also. For anyone wondering, I myself am not a flight attendant but a dispatcher.

I'd never work any job for such low pay, esp. when you factor in all the "extra" hours flight attendants spend traveling to/from the airport, packing/unpacking, checking into hotels, adjusting to unfamiliar cities, dealing with strangers, etc.

[@gzhang207]

Would additional language skills improve FA's pay or just increase the changes for shifts? For example, if one speaks Japanese or Chinese, she probably flies more to Japan/China. The same for Spanish/Portuguese/French.

[@soledieairvideos5974]

That’s insane that the FAA allows for airlines with that pay structure. IF YOU’RE WORKING, YOU SHOULD BE PAID!

[@knight2000-NC]

I knew the part that you only are paid when the door was shut and pushed back from the gate...that makes sense.

[@JettingJulia]

For the company it makes total sense! For me it doesn’t make sense, I think we should be paid for boarding lol

[@craigoroni7140]

Another great video Julia! very interesting, thanks 🙂

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you for watching! ✈️

[@williamgreen2409]

This is why i wish i could tip because ive always got good service when i fly.you f a's deserve so much more Live your video Julia ,as always

[@JettingJulia]

Certain airlines you can tip & others the FAs won’t accept it (per company policy), that’s great you have received good service while flying 🤗 thank you for watching!

[@williamgreen2409]

@@JettingJulia ive flown mostly on Delta because i go to the Philippines.but they dont let u also.some day i hope to see your smile if im on American.🙂🙂🙂🙂🌹

[@jgederschicago]

Julia, how difficult it is to change employers? Do you drop to the bottom of the senority list? If so, the initial choice of airline is really important, yes?

[@JettingJulia]

To be honest it’s VERY difficult to change employers, I saw my transition from regional to mainline as a promotion. But yes when you change airlines you go through the entire hiring process, training, etc again and are at the bottom of that company’s seniority list and pay scale.

Hi Julia, I have a question, Say you are scheduled to work a 3 day trip starting in Dallas and your initial trip from Dallas is cancelled at the last minute. What happens to the rest of the flights that you are scheduled to work on that trip and how do you get paid for the rest of the trip? Do they try to get you to a place where you can continue your trip? I see this getting complicated. Ken

[@MsLEducation]

During reserve months (when you're not on your days off) are you literally just waiting around for the call from crew scheduling that you received a trip? If so, that seems super challenging to plan things and have a life. Can you actually bid for trips on your reserve days so that you can make money instead of sitting around? Or is bidding only applicable if you hold a line? I hope that made sense!

[@JettingJulia]

Hahah yeah I am literally waiting around for them to call, but I also occupy my time by going to the gym, playing with my dog, doing YT stuff, etc. I just make sure I'm not too far from my house and that I always have my bags packed and ready to go! You get paid a specific amount for your reserve months whether you fly or not, you can still bid for trips on reserve though to earn per diem and increase your hours towards maxing out!

[@MsLEducation]

@@JettingJulia Thank you so much for responding!!! I have one more question: Can you actually pick up trips on your reserve days--not just your days off? If so, that's awesome. I just feel like I'd rather pick up on a reserve day instead of waiting for crew scheduling to assign me a trip. I'd want to go to work. :)

[@ashleyferrer3722]

Can you start with a mainline instead of regional airline when you first become a flight attendant? Also is it harder to get hired to a mainline when your a first time fight attendant?

[@rachelh930]

Were you able to easily switch with your regional to mainline? I have an interview w a regional that is affiliated w a mainline. I am very tall and I feel I would be a better fit (no pun intended) with a mainline.

[@kurthealy9508]

Interesting. Did you or do you still struggle with jet lag? Working for an airline has always interested me.

[@JettingJulia]

I definitely do sometimes! Especially if I am flying back Europe or Asia.

[@davidadler1elp]

Is there currently adult beverages served on international flights? I will be headed back to Korea soon and that's a long flight from DFW.

[@TheLifetraveler1]

I know about me laying flight attendants because I worked for a major airlines. But I'm curious. Who trains the flight attendants that you see on corporate jets? Do they work for the owner of the jet?

[@mariagarcia9395]

And to be paid 49 hours of flying per month, how much extra work do you need to do? I mean time spent traveling to the airport and waiting? Waiting for the plane to be boarded? Delayed? Would you say you spend 3 more hours per flying hour?

[@timames4405]

I have just got to 2.30. That is ridculous. In the UK, if you are on company property and on duty, you would be covered by the firm's indemnity insurance, i.e. employers liability insurance. What happens if the aircraft catches fire during boarding and you get hurt in the evac? Would you be covered then? It smells of sharp practice to me. Once the COVID crisis is over, I would have a discrete word with your Union.

[@franz3091]

Hi Julia, once again a very interisting video. What about your health insurance, does your company pay for it? Best wishes from Germany.

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you for watching! & yes my insurance is through my employer (the airline) 😊

[@jpfly66]

Generally in the US employers pay part of it. I'm not sure about Julia's airline but I pay 300 dollars a month for my share of my insurance each month. We still also have to pay a portion of pretty much everything such as Dr visits, medication and tests.

[@franz3091]

@@jpfly66 Thanks for this infirmation. That sounds a bit weird for a German. If you in our country are employed by an airline your salary includes everything on your health insurance. Youn don' t have to pay extra charges if you visit a doctor or a hospital.

[@jpfly66]

I wish we had that. It would be so nice. Do you get free dental care? What about if you get injured on the job? What also is so bad here is that if you get hurt or sick and can't work for more than 90 days you lose the employer-paid portion of insurance and have to pay 1000 dollars a month to keep insurance just for one person. I broke my wrist late at night and ambulances are very expensive even though I am insured. I waited until morning and then walked to the closest hospital. The doctor wanted to do surgery on my wrist but said I'd be out of work for four to six months. I told him lets put a cast on an hope for the best because I cant be off work for more than 90 days. Fortunately it worked out. Here is a video that explains it a bit more. When they talked about the lady with the broken bone I though...yep! I get it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqbFnaShhLh1eKM

[@eje3000]

Hey Julia, I fly quite a bit, normally in First class, occasionally I will a very good and attentive FA, is it bad form to tip them directly at the end of the flight. I just want to express appreciation for their excellent service. or is there a better way to show gratitude. (I don't want it to appear creepy, if you know what I mean) but to give them 100 dollars at the end of a long flight seems appropriate. Than you for your input. Great Videos!

[@shadowcross7248]

What be the best airline to work for and what would you suggest one to go regional, mainline or corporate? How are FA allowed to do KZbin and do you need special permission to do KZbin vlogs.??
