The Real World My World
I had other employment before flying.The realities of the non flying world are indelibly etched on my memory.Before flying I had Christmas Birthdays and anniversaries at home.I also got to spend every night in my own bed.I made a choice to work as a flight attendant.
My wages have only improved because of company decisions ie.the introduction of the bid system.Instead of receiving a blanket wage, under the bid system we are paid for hours worked.
I had a second job before the bid system because my QF wage was so poor.We also traded off 25% of our stand down time.
The wage in the real world for a supervisor is dependent on the industry and level of responsiblity and will therefore vary enormously
