While Iâm on duty seven hours, a junior flight attendant could be on duty 12 or 14 hours. We'll be paid the same. Factor in the layovers and the time away from home, and it looks more like minimum wage than $25 an hour. JFK-LAS: On duty: 10 hours 52 minutes.
On average flight attendants make $35,000-$40,000 a year. What most people donât realize is newly hired flight attendants in the U.S. start out only making between $14,000 â $18,000 a year.his is because right after 9/11 the majority of flight attendants took huge pay cuts in order to help keep the airlines up and running. Not only did I lose 30% of my salary, Iâm still not making what I did before the terrorists did what they did that day in 2001.
