      It’s even funnier when you realize flight “attendants” are highly trained critical members of the flight crew.

      They are the frontline during an emergency, ensuring evacuations occur promptly and warning the pilots of any issues leaking into the cabin.

      Disobeying their orders while in flight is a federal crime.

      This was our one chance to round up the murderous anti-mask bioterrorists en masse, throw them in prison, and let God sort them out.

      Instead we decided to make flight crew into nannies.

        You know what makes it even more worse. A starting salary for the guy putting the bags on is better, I would guess about $10,000 grand better.

    Imagine that shitty Ryanair pays more. American Airlines should be ashamed.

        Yep just looked it up staring salary at Ryanair is ~$33,500. So about 6 grand more than American.

        They do, and the source was already provided. The thing is Ryanair operates a lot of flights. They probably operate the most flights than any other company. And they always lack cabin crews. To the point that they now outsource a portion of their flights to other companies. That means that their workers can easily demand better payments and they do.

        There was an AMA on Reddit, Ryanair is a good company to work for.

        Here’s another fresh article, but about pilots https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/jobs/spent-100k-pilot-but-only-get-paid-30k-year-secret-life/

        Ryanair pays their pilots way above the average in the industry in the UK and is only beaten by British Airways.

    Seems harsh but they let their flight attendants run side hustles apparently.
