#Petition: A secret about airlines - Flight Attendants Need to be Paid For Boarding

Here’s a secret airlines don’t want you to know: flight attendants rarely get paid during boarding. For those that do, they make less than $2.00 an hour. That means for the 40+ minutes before a flight’s door closes and the wheels go up, flight attendants get almost nothing. There’s now a push to change this to require airlines to recognize the crucial work of flight attendants. Sign now and join with flight attendants fighting for pay during boarding. Flight Attendants Need to be Paid For Boarding 52,884 have signed Flight Attendant’s petition. Let’s get to 75,000!

Flight Attendants are currently not paid for boarding. They are paid what is deemed as "hourly rate," which is below minimum wage. Until the door is closed and the brakes are lifted flight attendants are paid on average $2.00/hour. Even though they are required by their company and the FAA to be there and perform crucial job-related safety and customer service duties. Airlines are taking more and more of Flight Attendants’ time. In the past decade, boarding has gone from 30, to 35, to 40 minutes. These decisions were made by management and no flight attendants were consulted during this decision-making process.  Please join flight attendants in asking for fair and liveable wages for the work they perform and the sacrifices they make.
