    Any company that intentionally underpays their employees so that they require govt assistance to live should be billed the full cost of all assistance that employee receives.

    I’m GLAD we not only BAILED THESE COMPANIES OUT WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS and also DON’T TAX THEM but we ALSO get to Pay Their Employees!

    If your boss requires you to be somewhere at a specific time… then that is work … right?

    And being on the other end means you are still at work. It is strange that this job went from glamorous to real shit.

      You had a government mandated floor on prices until the 70’s in the USA and the 90’s in the EU, which meant that airlines had to compete on amenities and other ways to pull traffic to their airline. Once that price floor was removed, it became apparent that ticket prices were what drove most traffic, so airlines started doing whatever they could to drop ticket prices.

    I hope the unions give these bastards a nice, swift kick in the ass.

    If anyone should be taking a pay cut, it’s the shitty CEO’s whose decisions make flying a miserable experience.

    Well flight attendants have the luxury of not having to live in a single place. I would live in some cheap country.

        Well you could also live in some Podunk in Atlanta… Honestly I could see purchasing property in frequently traveled areas… Even if you just have an RV in some lot.

          Or maybe you should put pressure on a multimillion dollar company to pay their employees a living wage, rather than defend them while blaming the workers
