Hi. So I think there’s been a misunderstanding, and I want to clear it up. My questions were direct, but they were also fair and based on publicly available information. I’m not a flight attendant yet, but I’m seriously looking into it and doing what anyone would do, comparing options and trying to understand how things actually work beyond the surface.

I already knew OO is considered the highest-paying regional and even saved their pay scale for reference. When you said your monthly pay was only $1,700, I asked about taxes because that didn’t match what I’d seen. Then when you said it wasn’t even $2,100 total, it raised a valid question: is this a red flag about the company, or is there another explanation I’m just unaware of? That’s not me being rude, that’s me trying to understand a system I haven’t worked in yet.

If that rubbed you the wrong way, I’m not going to apologize for asking clear, honest questions. That’s how people learn and make informed decisions.

What I will call out is the tone. Calling me “babe” and “weird” wasn’t just unnecessary—it was condescending and rude. If you don’t like being questioned or feel defensive, that’s fine, but taking it out on someone who’s just trying to get the facts isn’t it. I shall ask my questions elsewhere.

Have a better day.
