Ok, brother, people are talking on Reddit about a letter
00:03
from American Airlines confirming how much new flight attendants will earn.
00:10
The letter says they'll make about $27,000 a year before bonuses and
00:17
taxes. 27 K.
00:21
Yeah, brother, all that turbulence and dealing with annoying ass
00:25
passengers is worth way more than 27 K.
00:29
In my opinion. Let's talk about,
00:32
remember the flight to New York?
00:33
He said the guy tell a story.
00:35
It was a good,
00:36
ok, dude, there was this guy that he'd order like
00:41
cans of soda and just stomp on him fucking mid flight literally
00:47
like throughout the flight,
00:48
I don't know how many sodas he ordered and the kid yakked
00:51
at the end of the flight.
00:53
Yeah. Yeah. And I'm just like carry on,
00:59
carry on. Right.
00:59
Yeah. Imagine brother dealing with that and this is how much
01:05
and that's only like scratching the service.
01:07
I'm sure there's even more intense stuff but like,
01:09
you know what, maybe American Airlines should take a no from
01:11
Singapore Airlines. Did you hear about that?
01:13
I haven't, well,
01:14
they're studying the bar because they're blessing their employees.
01:17
They're hooking them up.
01:19
So they had record profits.
01:20
And so they're giving their employees nearly eight months of salary as
01:24
like a, hey,
01:24
you know what? We had a good year guys.
01:26
Here you go. So they don't get a pizza party or
01:29
maybe they do get a pizza party.
01:30
But in addition, they also get some cash money,
01:35
take notes to American Airlines.
01:36
Everybody take notes even.
01:37
No. But I mean,
01:41
come on, dude,
01:42
they're gonna think that Americans are cold as hell we are.
01:45
Well, because it's called American Airlines,
01:48
they're gonna be like,
01:48
dude, freaking Americans don't be cold.
01:51
And I wonder if they're actually owned by an American corporation?
01:54
I don't know, brother.
01:55
But this is sad.
01:57
Well, I mean,
01:58
I guess I know who I'm flying with.
02:02
Are the free flights worth it?
02:04
Let us know.
