The girls that I know who have been freelancing heavy iron have been getting in the region of £400/day plus per diem's.

What planet are you on SpecialBrew? Who pays that? Do you have to be fluent in 5 languages, look like Elle Macpherson, have medical training, the skills of Gordon Ramsey, the housekeeping skills of Aggie or just give a good head?

Heavy Iron...

Don't know much about ironing, but as far as I can gather, the ladies and gentlemen who visit our cabins get somewhere between £200-250 plus per diems...

I've had the ironing board out a few times and sew buttons!
Actually some companies set their rates and per diems so there's no negotiation but if you get regular work from them then in theory it works out.

Hi All,

This is an interesting thread for me.
I have an Interview coming up with a Corporate operator for a possible freelance position. Although I have worked freelance before, I am new to Corporate flying and realise the rates vary considerably.
If there is any Flight Attendants on here that would like to share some info on what salary or daily rate you should expect if you are new to Corporate. I do not want to sell myself short but also don't want to lose out on the job I really want if my salary expectations are too high!
I do have 10+ years varied flying experience as single cabin crew and multi crew, oh and I love ironing !

Thank you
MissA

Average rates for UK GBP 200 / 250 per day, anything less is not good. Standby days to be paid as well. If they book you they pay you

Gama I hear charge 350 per day and the hostie gets 250, (not confirmed just rumour) I also know one F/A who charges 400 plus 50 per diem for heavy iron and gets it no problem

Safe flying,

Rates of pay

Thanks for the info Guys and Girls.
Can anyone shed light on a full time position salary ie; 3wks on 1 wk off?
Again I am sure it varies but an estimate would be good to know.
