Cabin Pressure - By Dale Russakoff, Washington Post
'It's not as though we believe we deserve a pay raise. We understand concessions have to be made, but this is too much,' said Ricky Thornton. The 17-year flight attendant said his pay had fallen from about $48,000 to $35,000 a year and he now is away from home 21 days a month instead of 15 or 16.'
The benefit of this job was you were a full-time employee and your time away from home was balanced by time off so that life didn't cease to exist,' Thornton said. 'If I'm away four to five extra days a month, I don't see my family, and my garden is dead.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:52 AM :: reference link ::
