Newly hired American Airlines flight attendants are facing challenges due to low starting wages, long working hours, and the inability to renegotiate wages since 2019. A leaked employment verification letter reveals that new flight attendants can expect a yearly salary of $27,315 before taxes, sparking discussions on fair wages and the impact of inflation. The union representing American Airlines workers has raised concerns about the low pay, which qualifies some attendants for food stamps in certain states, highlighting disparities between employee earnings and executive salaries. Negotiations for a new contract are ongoing to address these issues, including demands for higher hourly wages and compensation for unpaid work hours.
