Galley Gossip: How much do flight attendants get paid?

Fred - Was I complaining? Or just explaining how flight attendants are paid? I only the wrote the post because I get asked this question all the time. I love my job and in the last paragraph I say so. I just think it's important for people who are interested in becoming a flight attendant to understand that while the pay may look great on paper it's not exactly as good as it sounds. So when the divorced mother of two decides to quit her boring job and do something exciting like become a flight attendant she'll better understand what she's up against.

No offense intended, just a broad comment directed at many FAs I have heard on planes. I wasn't really directing at you in particular, just using a plural "you". I agree people need accurate information. I just don't like hearing it as an excuse for rude or non existent service. Your post is certainly balanced. I have just heard to many FAs that don't share your pragmatic view.
