Flight attendants have revealed how much they earned per month at most and what their salary depends on
There is a myth that flight attendants earn very well. Some passengers even believe that the crew's job is easy because they spend less time on the flight than they do afterwards, spending the night in cozy hotels and exploring the world. However, this is not entirely true.
In a recent Reddit discussion, a United Airlines flight attendant asked her colleagues how much they earn. In the comments, passengers can learn a lot for themselves and debunk the myth of "easy" earnings.
For example, one of the users admitted that she once received about $9,000, of which she also paid taxes. This is an impressive amount, but the flight attendant admitted that she "almost died."
United Airlines does not set a maximum number of hours that flight attendants can work in a month, so if they work hard, their earnings are not limited.
Another flight attendant said she had never earned more than $4,000 in a month, although she confirmed that it was possible if you agree to a busier schedule and take fewer days off.
Another commenter with 5 years of experience on board shared that she earned almost $7,000 for 140 hours of flying, but admitted that that month was very exhausting for her.
There were other figures as well. One comment said that she earned $12,000 for 170 hours of work, and another said $5,000 for 107 hours in the air.
So, the earnings of United Airlines flight attendants depend on the number of flights worked and the length of service.
