The flight attendants I know I've seen go from being able to live ok to it being an extreme challenge because inflation has far outstripped their income despite seniority and other things that they can do to improve things. I don't know much about the details, I just see that (and to be fair I see that across so much of society not just their jobs).

Yeah most people get their significant salary improvements through transitions rather than sticking with a job don't they?
The union rules and even just the market throw their own wrench into that.. it's not like me where if I want to switch companies there's 100's to 1000's of companies that I could do what I do at.. there aren't that many airlines and switching would mean losing seniority and staring from scratch which could be difficult to impossible for someone that has been doing it for a long time.
