Z will have to update you when our cost of having fun in the Grand Canyon adds up.
my cost of having fun, I mean working.
being a flight attendant isn't the best paying job out there since they limit us to 75 hrs a month SO when I'm working, lets say I have a layover somewhere, I get there at noon or so. I COULD always pack food (after 3 or more days that lunchmeat and cheese sticks gets boooorrrrinnng)BUT
instead the crew (pilot and first officer and another f.a. if we are on the bigger plane) go eat AT LEAST dinner =$15+ (usually plus)
breakfast a must =$6+
if we do lunch too =$9+
drinks ? (sometimes) =$10 (long layovers ya gotta do something!)
shopping? ? =??? (depends if its ON SALE or not...lol)
tips(always the van driver to/from the hotels and of course the waitresses etc
=$8
A DAY???? OMG, well not to worry,
they pay us $1.30 an hour per diem when we are away from base,
I mean for this last 3 day trip I made an extra $78 BUCKS....so hmm, does per diem pay for my time away from base plus my spending???(minor details like eating??)
crap, should I go back to the lunch meat and cheese sticks in order to effectively do my job where I need to be strong, healthy, happy??
