My daughter was a flight attendant for about 6 months several years ago. She only made $l5.00 per hour flight time, that is the time the aircraft pushed away from the gate, until it pulled into the gate. The rest of the time, was per Diem pay which is less than 2.00 per hour. And the benefit of flying free is a crock also. If you are flying using this benefit, you are flying on stand by, and only able to board if they have a vacant seat. I know, she got stranded where I live for several hours because of the stand by requirement, so that benefit is not to great. She quit after about 6 months because she was unable to make it financially.
