How does a first-year Flight Attendant survive financially?
-
I'm told that first-year Flight Attendants make about $15-$24k a year. That's extremely low, but I REALLY want to be one. I'm 18 years old and I live in downtown NYC. My rent is $1200 a month, plus about $200 in utilities. If I were to make $18k a year as a Flight Attendant, that means I'll only have $1500 a month. Which also means I have only $100 for food and other things. So to sum this up ..I'd end up homeless and it wouldn't work. My question is directed towards those who are either Flight Attendants themselves, or have knowledge or experience in this industry. How would I make? I seriously don't think ANYONE could make it on a $15-$20k salary. That's ridiculous. I mean, you would think that Flight Attendants would make a lot more than that, considering 9/11 and they risk they're taking every time they get on those planes. Thanks for the help! No "Google it," "I don't know," or stupid answers please!

Answer:
Most of the flight attendants I have known had roommates. Since they are on the road so much why have an apartment by yourself which remains vacant most of the time. Try to work your schedules so that when one is in the other is out. Good luck.

Flight attendants normally room with 3 to 4 others. They arrange their schedules so that only 1 or 2 are at home at any given time. Remember you will be gone 2 to 3 days on domestic flights.

I thought the reason anyone ever became a flight attendant is to marry rich.

Don't forget to take out taxes from your salary, that 1500 a month will look more like 1200 or so. Maybe you will have to share an apartment with other flight attendants, save some rent!
