Economy let down for Independent Flight Attendants

Betsy Dwyer - Tuesday, May 27, 2008

The economy is on a scale from 1-10, a mere 3. I was thinking of the companies that own private jets and their success would be based on what they are selling. Banking in down, drug companies are down, insurance down. Real estate development in down, and IPOs well, that is few and far between. The price of jet fuel is $6 to $10 a gallon. This has not affected me yet, I work for a great family who in shipping of oil, dry goods, grain, etc. But my heart really goes out to the freelancers, things have dried up. You may think "oh, these people own a corporate jet they are rich enough to always fly at the drop of a hat". Not true. Many of these companies using smaller jets like Bombardier Learjet, Hawker and Beechcraft airplanes, or they are sending them out on commercial airlines. So what are you going to do to put bread on the table, get a second job? Do catering, bartend, substitute teaches if you have a degree? In this business, you have to be resourceful, especially if you are freelance. I really feel for you all.
