Spend. You know that aviation pays better than commercial, generally a whole lot better, but you're unsure what the going rate is for a corporate flight attendant. It would surprise one to learn that pay rates vary widely depending on the form of knowledge, your location, your responsibilities, consideration, and more.

Over time I have discovered that the pay range is not emerge stone. Usually, fractionals pay less than rental operators [Part 135] who pay less than owner accounts [Part 91]. Are there exceptions to the rule? Obviously. As previously mentioned other facets above may play a substantial role in determining what you will make. These include:

  • the highest salaries are commanded by Location: business flight attendants based closer to major metropolitan areas. New York and Los Angeles would be the two most trafficked places for private flying. Between corporate moguls and Hollywood a-listers, both urban centers make a few of the most crucial amounts of traveling in operation aircraft. If you're situated in Pocatello or Burlington the probability of you finding work in the very first place are remote, except a fractional agent hires you and allows you to airline to reposition for the journey.
  • Responsibilities: Therefore, what are you? As an individual who serves other passengers or can you be likely to manage the complete cabin from the cockpit door on back will you be treated? Will there be a difference operating? Yes, in the perception of the business doing the hiring there may perhaps not be. The written job description may vary from what the job actually involves. It could take many interviews for you if the company places value on your own culinary knowledge, your safety training, your related work experience, and so on to find out. Usually, those companies looking for someone with "no knowledge necessary, will train" will pay significantly less than those who state they want an employee who is updated with their teaching and has flown for several years.

Other questions to keep in mind: How often will you be traveling? Are you considering flying between collection towns or traveling internationally? How might days each month? How many gentle times v. tough times can you have per? Are you considering on call? Are you considering likely to work in the office on days off? Will you be likely to "look after" kiddies a/k/a play the nanny part when maybe not flying? Are you managing other flight attendants?

  • Experience: The more experience flying corporate, the greater. Companies should compensate you predicated on your organization flying history, protection and security training, culinary knowledge, world languages if flying internationally, management skills, people skills, etc. Some businesses require that you act as your own secretary to the CEO. Extra payment must certanly be expected for these additional responsibilities.

So, what's the pay range? These numbers are not absolute, but the U.S. salaries that I have seen for corporate trip attendants falls into three general categories. These are some generalized pay ranges:

  • Fractionals: 33K to 43K, corporate experience not at all times needed. These businesses will prepare you to their specifications. One of the major pluses for fractionals is that you can stay mostly anywhere; at least one company allows you to flight to generally meet up with the airplane [they also allow you acquire and hold your airliner miles].
  • Charter: 45K to 75K, depending on place of aircraft and your experience. Much of what I have seen since the wage is in the reduced to mid-50s range. Certainly, the NBAA supports this data with a current study showing that the average corporate flight attendant is compensated just over 53K per year.
  • Owner: 25K to 100K+. Let's maybe not kid ourselves. There are companies that will expect you to leap through hoops to travel on their aircraft and for peanuts [and you know they cannot serve peanuts with their passengers!] On another hand, if you are a flight attendant your salary will probably start at 75K and can simply exceed 90K. The bigger income can be expected when you have a "VP" title and take charge of many flight attendants. Oh, by the way, don't forget that you will be traveling along with your working environment duties... guess who has to cover for ill employees when nobody else is found?

100K+?! Let's just say that amount is unusual, but I did confirm 110K for one flight attendant flying internationally some time straight back. Broadly speaking, never expect anyone to reveal their salary to you... why should they?

What about traveling deal? Wow... you had to ask. If I told you that you can get on average $300. - $350. per day plus per diem would that suit you? The amounts being paid for contractors vary just as widely as they do for full time flight attendants. I have heard about flight attendants flying for $0 just to obtain the knowledge and hours [how might a company diligently allow that to happen? Ok, stupid question!] I have also heard of a attendant making $600 per day flying globally. Commitment rates differ widely and depend, again, in your area, duties, experience, etc.

Questions to ask yourself:

  • What am I worth? Then you need certainly to produce a case for earning 60K per year, if you believe the work merits 60K per year. You know what, if the organization insists on paying 35K? You'll not make anything near 60K, you'll be crossed off their list and the person negotiating for 35K will obtain the job.
  • What will I be satisfied with? Can I justify the low income just to get some good work? If I've flown for decades and are prepared to take a pay cut, will I be able to go on the low income? Could I expect you'll negotiate my pay once employed [don't make me laugh...]?

May I expect * What benefits? 401( e), medical, dental, holiday, sick/personal days, and so on are a number of the anticipated benefits when working regular. Other considerations: do they buy uniforms? Can there be a standard allowance? How about salary reviews/job performance evaluations? Will there be room for advertising? May I ever move to another account? Will they buy my training? What's their policy on work termination/severance? Is this a household friendly atmosphere?

The more you find out about your needs, needs, and needs before you're questioned, the higher chance you will have to be adequately paid. Discover what is very important to you: i.e., lower wage v. Where I want; work security living v. higher pay; public awareness v. anonymity, and so on. Stay with your principles and while discussing your following position act upon them. If this position is accepted by me one final question to ask yourself once work offer has been tendered: can I live with myself?pHresh Spa 3rd Floor Sandman Suites Hotel 1160 Davie Street Vancouver, BC V6E 1N1 medical spa vancouver
