all these "i thinks"...first of all..i dont get paid to and from work..I get paid once we close the doors..not for boarding, not for being there at check in..not for delays. We are still deprieved of sleep..that hasnt changed. 9:15 is our minimum rest and thats from the time we get off a plane to departure time...so do the math..an hour to the hotel and check in, an hour to get undressed, make calls wash face and brush teeth, an hour to get ready in the morning and an hour before departure van time...so 4 of those hours are not sleeping! we can work a 14 hour day with 5 hours of sleep and turn around and do another 14 hour day! hardly sleep....the hotel they put us in are hit or miss..bed bugs, parties, cockroaches old beds and gross hotels...some are super nice and some are average. so if you broke down my pay - 13 years - 31,000 for 456 hours on duty a month! 73 hours guarantee at my top pay of 34 dollars and hour...they aren't breaking bank by paying us! and if "please help" goes with the wrong airline she may be on reserve for years..never breaking that guarantee like me!
