I love your videos; I just wish the sound was better as I am partially deaf and although I can hear you but some times it doesn’t sound loud enough . Regardless as a retired FA my self, your videos are amazing
Hi there! I'm so glad you enjoy them :). I'm sorry the audio was so poor in that one - I just re-uploaded it with a higher volume quality since I know it was an issue: th-cam.com/video/SDe785FYhFE/w-d-xo.html Hope you're having a good week!
Your videos have been so informational! Thank you so much! I know Delta will be opening their hiring time at the end of this month and I'm still going back and forth and weather I should apply or not. I think I might go for it but they are no bases in Texas sadly. I was thinking of applying for AA but Delta has competitive pay!
Hello, do they offer guaranteed pay if you don’t get a lot of flights that month? I know some airlines offer a guaranteed pay of 75 hrs per month then everything is additional if you surpass those hours.
So basically, unless you're senior, the pay's not far off minimum wage. It's a fun job when you're young, but you need to balance that by remembering that you're not progressing in another career choice you might make that will start paying you more, and increase that pay more quickly. Better than a fast-food part-timer, and more fun. But no career to buy a house on your own and settle down on your own, unless you hang around till you're 50 and get the benefits of seniority (best rosters, much better pay, less need to provide good service to customers because you become untouchable, and service doesn't really matter on the main US airlines anyway). Service standards on US carriers are pretty abysmal, and low pay to juniors, and seniority benefits to seniors are the cause.
@@negpos8369 Research the starting salaries at the US airlines - the majors aren't very high, the minors are as low as possible - not much above McDonalds. Mainly because it's designed as a fun, temporary job for new entrants, and there are always people who will give it a go, especially good looking younger people without much education. But remember the opportunity cost of working for an airline as cabin crew: if you're capable of going to college (not everyone wants to, or can afford to), the time you lose having fun on a low wage won't offset the earnings you will eventually make by going to college/university if you have the brains to do that. And not many junior flight attendants hang around until they get the seniority that pays better and lets them choose the most lucrative or socially easier rosters - it takes at least a decade, often more. By that time, they can often end up 'hard boiled' - hence the airline phrase 'Hawaii 50' for the old boilers on HNL trips. You have to be over 50 to get these trips when you want them on the majors, the service is shit, the cabin crew can be sanctimonious old bags, and some them barely fit between the aisles given their physical breadth lol! There are exceptions, but they can be some of the rudest people you'll ever meet in an alleged service industry - the majority of people don't want to end up like these old biddies and leave the airline industry well before they get to that stage. Good luck!
@@NinoNiemanThe1st a lot of people graduate college with liberal arts degrees and end up in minimum wage jobs. Flight attendant pay isn’t terrible, you can work as many hours as you want monthly. Within 5 years, your pay would go up substantially. Considering that the job only requires a high school diploma and a few weeks of training, it’s not a bad trade off. Plus, you get to travel the world, it’s more about the experiences you gain and less about the money.
@@lexismith8206 Yes, I agree, it's more about the fun and experiences and crew friends you meet, and they're great when you're young. But the experiences aren't so great if you're doing ATL-MCO daily (for example) taking entitled holiday tripper Karen families to Disneyland Orlando each day. And it's a really hard way to pay off your degree (if you have one) given the pay rates. Making the job long-term rewarding with a major onto long-haul international takes a serious amount of commitment - but by then, once you've got the job and your seniority, you can give up on the service and working hard and coast along until your hips don't fit down the aisle lol.
Hey, guys! An enhanced audio version of this video is up, since I know the volume was an issue. Feel free to check it out :)!: th-cam.com/video/SDe785FYhFE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info. If you could work on your audio, that would be great. I had my computer and Bose headphones on 100 when they're normally on 50% and I could barely hear you. Questions: 1. Did you have any say in what training block you were in? I live in Atlanta and I'd love to not have to leave my current (overnight) job yet since Delta's pay is so low. 2. Regarding ADYs: So are you saying that you can be on reserve for a whole day and not get called and not make any money??.. But if you do get called then you get paid for the flight and then paid something for being on reserve as well?
Hey there! Thanks for the feedback. I invested in a lav mic so hopefully future videos will be better :) 1. I did not have a say in my training block. One of the things about being a FA is sometimes you just have to roll with the punches and be readily available lol. 2. ADY's you do get paid for 4 hours 45 minutes/day currently when you're on call/reserve. Hope that helps!
Cassandra, what I was hoping to learn was "on average" what was your paycheck post tax for the week or month? Being that I have certain expenses that information is critical whether I can become a FA. ALSO.... I too speak Deutsche! That was cool to hear you
Hey there, Mark! Sure thing I’ll get back to you on that so you can work with that information. Alsoo cool! Glad you liked it :) are you from a German-speaking country or did you learn on your own, etc.?
@@CassandraRi I was in Manhattan on the west side for many years. Now, temporarily, I'm in NJ. BTW I applied to United, Spirit and Delta and all 3 rejected me. Guess I didn't do well on my online assessment OR they consider me too old. With Delta I tried for German/English speaker FA
So like can you say an example of a paycheck amount since it accumulates of so many things? And then are you paid like the 1st & the 15th? I’m wanting to do it but I’m afraid I won’t be able to afford my bills
Anytime minorities become the majority in a job sector the wages end up suppressed. Delta has so many minorities and that is why the wages are so low. Once the flight deck becomes more diverse you will see pilot wages suppress as well. The same thing happened with the post office and the big three automakers.
crap, I dont think I would be able to do this job,. I already had my virtual interview, but the pay is so little, that even if I get selected I dont think I can accept it, I am making much much more than 36 k ,
@@Shabba5584 the interview and the whole process was easy, I got the job but I didn't d the training yet, I postponed it, I really dont know what to do, I do not like my current job, but i work from home, easy money, and very flexible, forking for Delta, I will be away from home, will make less money, and less flexibility, the difference is, I will like flying, how about you?
Hi there! You can pick up trips in open time in general, but when you're on reserve, Scheduling is ultimately going to make that call. If there are any trips you have in mind, you can set your preferences so they're more likely to give you trips similar to what you're looking for. Hope that helps!
Hi, I love your content. I have a question can I be a cabin crew member in delta airlines if I am short in height? Is there a minimum height requirement?
Thanks for this video! I have a question regarding the reserve days. If you have to report to the airport and wait to be used for a trip and you don’t end up being used, you don’t get paid?
@@nazstorytime2753 That’s insane! I could understand being on call at home but if you have to physically report in at the airport and you don’t even get paid per diem is just wrong.
I literally find it offensive when a career like this that has to do with your life in the air is being payed by the hour…. Just give us good money for the month without this hourly pay. Come up with an exact amount and rather look out for good performance on the job. This career needs more pay than UI UX designers or software engineers …
Thank you for a lovely information. Can i ask you about the accomodation. Such as place to live ( if the employee are not U.S citizen ) and accomodation to the airport. Thank youu 😊
Hi there! Sure thing - if you’re talking about while you’re working, you get put up in hotels (Delta pays for them) and shuttles take you from the airport to your hotel (and vice versa). If you mean getting to your base airport(s), you’ll have to get there yourself. There is an employee parking lot for you to park your car if this is the case. Did this answer your question? Hope this helps!
The per diem explanation is a bit off. Per Diem kicks in the moment you sign in for your trip until you are released from it. Also, unfortunately, there is no more sky bucks. Other than that, great video.
@@CassandraRi COVID took it away 🤷🏻♀️ Hopefully as more items for sale and services get added on flights, we will see the program come back again. It was always nice to see that extra cash. I always saved it to buy Xmas presents at the end of the year.
@@CassandraRi just some Snack boxes, headsets and alcoholic beverages in main cabin for domestic, Latin America and Caribbean. TO is all free as always.
There really weren't typically hours like a 9-5. I can tell you normally per week I'd expect to have a 3-day trip then maybe a quick day trip or a 2-day that goes Sunday into Monday of the next week. I hope that answers your question!
Hi Cassandra, just found your channel! I’m thinking about applying but I was planning on traveling a bit next year… what is the PTO like/are you allowed to take time off during probation?
Hey there! That's awesome to hear! During probation we weren't allowed to take time off unless it was absolutely necessary. As for allotted days off, I received two during my probationary period. It increases with seniority, too :) I hope that helps!
Hi there, it's not a good source of income starting out if you are the head of household. The pay goes up each year with seniority. If you take a look at 8:00 of my video, it should tell you what to expect pay-wise this year. Hope that helps!
I literally can’t hear a thing 😭
Oh no! :( I'll try to work on the volume from now on. Do you have any questions I can help you with?
