q: highest paid Flight Attendants today?

[Boogie]

After all the cuts, concessions, and chapter elevens, who today stands atop the F/A pecking order with regards to pay?

 

[Workin'Stiff]

I've heard NW is right near the top. Rumor has it management is gonna be looking for a 50% cut from them... And they're aligning the replacement players for the potential strike...

50$ an hour to serve coke you gonna be f***ing kidding me.
Give them 20 and share the rest with the pilot!!!

 

[cargoflyr69]

actually NWA serves pepsi.... but, point taken

 

[Draginass]

If you take what they take-home at the end of the month and divide it by the number of hours they're "at work", you'll find that it ain't $50.

And when you tell flight attendants that new pilots on a 50 seat jet make $22 an hour they usually say "you gotta be f***ing kidding me."

AA,

Maybe we should come together as a group and raise our rates, not drag the flight attendants down with us.

Great post AA. You hit the nail on the head.

Solution

Just train the flight attendants to be pilots. That should save the company boodles.

WN just bumped up to 47.01 per trip (which works out to to a little more than 54.00 per hour) Not sure what starting pay is now, maybe 19.00 per hour. top out in 14 years. We also get all the free peanuts we can eat.

Roughly 6000USD/Month for a senior biscuit chucker with SAS. They are generally considered among the highest paid in Europe.

Just for comparison, and don't forget to factor in the 50% tax-rate before you set sails!

They are too smart to be lured into such a racket

Not quite, but you won't go hungry to bed either. If you are on social services you'll collect around 1000USD/Month + have your housing rent paid. If you're on the union it depends on your previous salary, but the maximum will be around 2500USD/Month. Education, health care and so on is of course free of charge regardless of your income, or lack thereof. There is a reason the taxes are so high ..

Forgot to add, the Scandinavian countries are hardly known for being cheap to live in. In Denmark, for instance, you may enjoy a 5USD Big Mac. That's the burger, not the meal. How about paying 205% in taxes on your car? Need a haircut? That'll be from around 40USD and up for a bloke, times 3 for a sheila. A 1600sgft house in a Copenhagen suburb is close to 400K USD. You may buy a 800sqft apartment in a less-posh area of CPH for around 250K USD. And so on and so forth. Yes, salaries are high but so are the living costs. Copenhagen is one of the most expensive cities in Europe, if not the world, to live in for an expat and only marginally cheaper for a local.
