To be clear, I’m not saying whether and how much of a raise flight attendants should get. I wish them the best in their negotiations. But I’m a fan of facts, and while aircrew don’t get paid directly for all hours related to any work (I know very well myself), that is a separate issue to total compensation.
The reality is there is a ton of propaganda being released from both the union and the companies side (as in any labour action). And be very skeptical of all of it. Both sides are trying to win the public relations battle, not trying to fairly educate people on the issues.
So is there an FA that made under 35k? Sure. But she is new, part time, or both.
The company could release info about how well they are paid, but they would also try to use edge cases to advance their propaganda agenda.
