the best place to start if you want to be a flight attendant is talking to the relevant professional associations in your country or the union representing flight attendants.
You will find a general reluctance to discuss salary on open forums because even if you are not media, the media can pick up what is said here and use it for their own purposes.
the media and the general public think that most airline employees should be on third world conditions in order to keep airfares down. But they expect the service of the QE2 at the same time.
Conditions and pay are very sensitive issues and will generally not be understood by others as they only see the "glamour" in the job.... not the downside.
A passenger once asked me when i was kneeling on the A/C floor looking under pax seats with a torch what i was looking for. I said " i am looking for the glamour that i was told was in this job"
I was actually looking for someones dentures that had fallen out!!
