Also likely getting her Social Security income. And perhaps she has some other sources of income.
Many very senior F/As are drawing 4 checks. How the media was able to come up with that total income figure is puzzling since that's none of their business and has absolutely nothing to do with the story.
She made a mistake and has been punished for it.
