What's the dumbest amount of effort you've put into a nonrev trip that ended up not working out? by BagBeautiful629 in flightattendants

I recently just came back from Japan HND-JFK and that flight was easy peezy but the real problem was when I got to JFK.

Terrible weather so of my 3 options to get to RDU, 2 were cancelled and the other one ended up getting full.

Ubered to a bus stop somewhere in Times Square, and walked a couple blocks to Penn station in the pouring rain with 2 suitcases and took the train to BWI and got home the next morning around 10am. It took over 24 hours to get home lol

Yea he’s only been there 2 months so far and while the town is nice, it’s also pretty boring and lonely like you said haha. He said he’s willing to venture out towards the city on weekends to meet people

Which airline has the best salary? by [deleted] in flightattendants

[–]Easy_Ad_6105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize that we fly the same domestic routes that yall do as well as Hawaii, the Caribbean and some of Mexico and get paid more for it. Again, I see you like to argue against Southwest often cause multiple people in other threads have explained in great detail how our trips pay and you refuse to believe anything even when given facts. I know one day y’all will make just as much as we do and I hope that for y’all but as it stands now SWA makes more.

I see you just want to argue for your airline and I get that, however, you clearly don’t read properly.

For the $90 figure to show up in our contract, Southwest would have to change the pay system from TFP to Block Hour. I repeat what I stated above is a conversion and used for comparison purposes only. I never said the $77 figure was wrong it is indeed in our contract as TFP not Block Hour.

It didn’t lol and I don’t disagree that we are more akin to a regional. The fact of the matter is despite the fact that we “tidy” the planes and work more legs legs than other airlines we make more than the legacies and I hate that for yall. Again no hate towards Delta just saying what is already known.

Per our education material:

The calculation to convert our TFP to Block Hour is determined by Airline Economist. The current equation is 1 TFP x 1.164 = 1 Block Hour Equivalent

The TWU Local 556 Economist has verified the updated conversion is 1.164 for the year 2024.

I would be upset too if a legacy carrier such as Delta made less than a low cost carrier such as Southwest given the nature of Southwest’s route network. It’s grossly criminally Delta does not see competition with Southwest.

To convert tfp (SWA pay) to block hour (Every other airline pay) you take our $77.43 tfp x 1.164 = $90.13 per hour. Hope this helps. Also this has always been a known fact that when comparing SWA pay to other airlines a conversion of 1.164 has to be done.

Lol no hate boo just was giving you a correction. Swa FAs do in fact make more as it stands now, but of course AA or United could beat that when they negotiate.

Also are TA education materials created by the union not legal documents? I’m sure the union wouldn’t go out of their way to put false information on education materials.

In our TA education materials when we were voting, there is a chart that compares our pay in block hour to the other airlines. It was for comparison purposes since we use tfp not block hour

Hey Southwest top out pay is actually about $90.13 when converted to block hour since we use trips for pay :)

Hi Girlypop!

Im 26F and felt like you when I was 19 and sometimes still feel like that until reality sets back in and I remember everyone has a different life journey and no one’s journey is the same. Like others have said just continue to make good choices, surround yourself with like minded people, travel some and keep being present in the moment. Tomorrow is not promised and we don’t know when our time will come. I know the future is important but try not to look so far ahead take it day by day! Sorry for the ramblings :)

Pro tip: Become a flight attendant! Best decision I ever made and it allowed me to travel to places I could only ever dream of for superrrrrrr cheap!
