We use a flight mechanic that has received cabin safety training and doubles as a flight attendant. From my experience replacing a IDG, avionics, tires, etc. on the road, I would much rather have an A&P that serves food than a flight attendant that can't turn a wrench. But our execs have simple tastes and we do fly to some truly crappy third world countries as well as the sandbox. Over a 100K for a F/A?!!! Most of our mechanics don't get paid that much. Someone is living the grand life or is delusional.
We also use a flight mechanic...not good for an airstart though!
