Second Job Suggestions

[Hugh Jorgan]

I know a few SWA F/A's who moonlight on the side. My bet is Sam does too.

Hey, here's an idea for a perfect second job. This is taken from an article about the 10 most overpaid professions in the U.S. Major airline pilot, by the way, was also on the list. Seems like a good job if you are doing standups or ready reserve.



7) Skycaps at major airports

Many of the uniformed baggage handlers who check in luggage at curbside at the busiest metro airports pull in $70,000 to $100,000 a year -- most of it in cash.

On top of their salaries, peak earners can take in $300 or more a day in tips. Sound implausible? That amounts to a $2 tip from 18 travelers an hour on average. Many tip more than that.

While most skycaps are cordial, a good many treat customers with blank indifference, knowing harried travelers don't want to brave counter check-ins, especially in the post 9/11 age.
