WHOA BIG FELLA!
$3500 a month?!? For a Regional? Would you happen to be a Purser, or a very senior FA within your airline?
I'm aware of most regional agreements, and very few would pay this figure to an average FA - please enlighten me oh cart tart!
Impulse FA's can take home a minimum (that is BARE minimum) of $1200 per fortnight - not including overnight allowances, live days, overtime, etc. Average is normally $1400 per fortnight. Pursers average about an additional $200 per fortnight extra.
If you really max out your roster with overnights (10+), you can make extra dosh. Work on a day off, you can earn an extra $250! Much prefer the day off mind you!
$1800 for domestic - depends how long you've been in short haul. I know of friends who are lucky to make $1400 a fortnight (well, they are junior, but hey...you wanted reality!). Senior crew with lots of overnights would probably earn that much.
