    I’ve recently started to work as a FA from taca international airlines cause I live in El Salvador and at least here in my country is very well paid Im 20 and Im earning enough money to support all my family even if they dont work the problem is that I was studying law in the university and now is getting very difficult for me to keep studying

    Personally, it does not sit well with me that they treat flight attendants(and from my understanding pilots as well) so poorly. I think most people would agree that you want any and everyone responsible for your safety at 30k feet in the air to be highly motivated and well compensated! I’ve always though FAs and Pilots were very well paid until recently.

    Great Video and absolutely FACTUAL! I used to be a FA with a regional carrier so it wasn’t AA but what I can say is that I had to quit after 1 year because of the pay. I looked at where I would be in 5 years pay wise versus a college degree it was a No brainer there. It is unfortunate since I do not know if I will ever have another job as fun and unique as being a FA.

    I flew International for AAL for 32 yrs. and this video is very well done. It demonstrates the same work rules are still in jeopardy now as when I was flying. I admire each and every one of you and APFA should get every retiree to join their peers in this pursuit as this also effects us as well. It’s your and our turn!

    Dear All,

    I have some question about psychology:

    (1) Why do people want to be a flight attendants?

    (2) What is the fun and happiness to be a flight attendant?

    (3) Why do jobs related to aviation considered to be more professional?

    (4) Why do we love being in the sky?

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

    I first flew with AA in 2005, and i was really surprised. it was great and i stood by AA for the next 4 years. Then in 2008 when they introduced the AV “OD” i thought that was enough, so i switched to DL. the last flight with AA, all the FAs where wearing $s and protesting about how management gets more money. Its obvious that FAs are not happy there and i think ou guys should all stand up and tell them that things cannot go on like this. i think not having a union makes things more easy to chan

    Bless your heart devindra08….that is how it started ….with all of us

  12. Star841 says:

    Your last sentence describes a personality (ungrateful, bitter) yet overworked is not by the FA, but by the company. Truth is… airlines operate to the bone, with thin margins to make low-yielding profits. What you see here are FA’s who’ve been with AA for years and are forced to now work 14 hour days as the norm for the same amount of money. The job environment has slowly changed since deregulation and more-so after 9/11. We all can’t be beautiful, working widebodies JFK-FLL 11 times a day.

    i fly for CAL in IAH all of us no matter what airline deal with the same crap we all love our jobs but they take everything away from us to make the PAX happy hell waiting 4 them to charge 4 seatbelts shhhhhh dont tell the FAA

  14. Locker10a says:

    who do u fly4??

  15. devindra08 says:

    I would love to be a flight attendant with Air canada.
    love travelling and meeting people

  16. alexfernan10 says:

    This is not marriage therapy. The real issue is executive compensation that is greed ridden and not rewarding your loyal employees who are proud of the American brand, but are appalled by the way AA is being run. This video is filled with educated individuals who want to be compensated for the hard work they do.

  17. xxquiker says:

    lol you did not just compare AA flight attendants to the Singapore Girls. Two different entities bud

  18. StinkingHombre says:

    This isn’t fair, the CEO’s have country club dues to pay.

  19. calfaiah says:

    yeah u fools who are not F/A’s u deal with bitchy people who dont get a meal on a hour flight we do up to 6legs a day with 4 hours of sleep lets see u do it

  20. DeBellucci says:

    Americans ALWAYS are never happy about anything! Learn from Asian crew and the thankful for the jobs you HAVE…..
    Also this crew is not even pretty :P

  21. cso74 says:

    please no oofense to flight attendants, i used to be one and i remember them complainting before 911 just the same way the complaint after it, it seems like it is not a happy group.I really enjoyed being a flight attendant for united the first 3 years, 98 to 2001, after that i did not, but it is ok, it is all behind me now.

  22. KINGDOMoftheORION says:

    They should all quit and get other jobs and make room for people who would love to be flight attendants. Their passengers deserve pleasant flight attendants, not bitter, overworked, ungrateful losers.

  24. trc751 says:

  25. zoboot says:
