      It’s absolutely crazy that flight attendants don’t get paid until the plane doors close.

      i think it’s similar for pilots?

        Agreed, whether it’s pay by mile, from when the door’s shut, when boarding, or set off by the time a certain phone call dispatches you, that’s just semantics. If you’re making a good wage or salary, what of it? The real issue is 24k-27k a year. That’s 13 bucks an hour on the top end. 13 bucks an hour when you have 2k a month rent for the cheap roach infested slums in most cities.
