MAM flight attendants on the latest of 3 contracts earn $27 per hour, plus about $4.79 per hour DTA.

There hours limitations are the same as short haul EBA but they are guaranteed 20 days work. That day can be as little as a standby duty. They average between 80 and 120 hours per month and are now given a roster with duties that combine flight duties and standbys. They apparently get 8 days free of duty per month but can make them selves available for additional work subject to resource requirements.

Take home pay seems to be about $1200 per week according to a friend of mine who started in November.
However, no penalty rate, no sick leave pay, no annual leave pay , no long service leave, and no staff travel.


Very little chance of career advancement, but in todays environment it seems according to my mate better than anything else available for a non skilled person.

And by that i dont mean that you dont have to have skills, but flight attendants will know what i mean.

hope that helps
