Oh, I'm justy dying to know what people think of this...
About 5 years ago, I would have been the first to admit that we as flight attendants were waaaay overpaid... Having topped out after only 12 years with Delta, I easily made somewhere around $80 with all the overrides, per diem, etc. That's some serious money for a job which requires little besides a highschool diploma.
Recent paycuts, benefit reductions etc. have changed this quite a bit though... I am at a point in my career where I have to work more hours to make less money than I did 5 years ago.
