Junior Flight Attendants (i.e. new-hires) often carry the brunt of the job because they frequently work less than 50 hours or less per month, making it very difficult to make ends meet financially.

Hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar, is when blood sugar decreases to below normal levels. This may result in a variety of symptoms including clumsiness, trouble talking, confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, or death. A feeling of hunger, sweating, shakiness, and weakness may also be present. Symptoms typically come on quickly.
