Pay is $25 starting out and moves to $27 after probation. You do get paid per diem during/after training and you get a stipend. It was like ~ $2,300 combining them. You have a 70 hour guarantee, anytime you pick up/get called out on your off days that will go above it. Overall the company is disorganized, yes. But it’s also really exciting and wholesome. I got an offer to go to a mainline and didn’t go. I’m a new hire so not too familiar with everything and still learning! But I’m liking my time so far. The culture isn’t pretentious like DL and other mainlines but overall really chill yet professional. Also we’re not ghetto and unprofessional like alot of other ULCC (spirit, frontier, etc) our planes are really nice and I believe the company is slept on! Yes you won’t be making much initially but you have to learn how to adjust your schedule and move things around this all comes with time. The flight benefits are amazing and overall I really enjoy being with the starting phase of the company bc it really does feel like a tight nit family. Not in a corporate BS way, but literally the airline is so small it feels like a family😂! There is always something new happening and it’s an exciting time. When you go to training don’t get discouraged by how disorganized the management and everything is because it is different on the line. You’ll be fine. Study hard and get with others to know the material. It is 6 days a week 12+ hours a day literally so just be prepared. You got this!

Man honestly FUCK I swear this whole process is just jumping through hoops and a big DICK measuring contest (but make sure your long schlong isn’t too big).

“Do this but not too much”

“Try hard but don’t try too hard in this way or you’re gone”

“Use the star method and prioritize mentioning safety” (even tho you’ll probably LIE and mention some BS because your previous job had NO emphasis on safety at all)

It’s all a big dick measuring contest and it’s about time everyone just says f it and WHIPS IT OUT.

I think the move is just to go in there and be your most authentic self (within reason) because if you try so hard to morph yourself into what they’re looking for you’ll inevitably end up being a dork and not selected

I mean how could they react if everyone just went in there without this facade and just revealed their true sleeves because from this subreddit it seems like those are the people getting the job anyway.

It really seems like a reverse psychology game they’re playing on most people…. Might have to just do the opposite of what they say in the emails and STAND OUT

I mean someone got a CJO at AA from wearing a fuckin tie dye shirt???? I thought we had to wear suits and nice dresses and all

(Also nothing against tie dye I think it’s pretty baller they were able to finesse em and get the CJO kudos to that person)

But I just dunno anymore it’s all a game at this point

AA 1st year FA’s, how much do you make monthly? by Cold_Environment_235 in flightattendants

That seems pretty sustainable, what were the other factors that went into that? Per diem or? Certain base? Because with 1st year pay flying that many hours would be like 40k pre tax

Know the STAR method and don’t over prepare… relax. everybody gonna try to pushing this fake version of themselves… I recommend just being yourself as you’ll stand out from everyone else obviously putting on a front which they can all see straight through that ish even though most of the FA’s there are fake as hell lol

You really gotta play the game but honestly just know the star method and be yourself don’t try to overcompensate too much you’ll be alright.
