Thank you James. Is it pretty easy to find extra trips as a new FA? What seems to be a realistic number if any? Do some people have flexible part-time jobs other than FA? I think I'm just going to apply. I'm sure I will have plenty of time to figure financial details since the process can sometimes take a little while.
Thank you for helping,

Hi James, I was trying to get an idea of income possibilities as a SWA flight attendant. I have always had an interest in this position, as a matter of fact I tried in 1993 but didn't make the cut. I am 37, live in Dallas and have a good job in sales but am a little tired of the whole m-f,7-5 life. Boring. The concern I have is pay. I know FA's are paid per trip but I was wondering about how many trip are in an average day, how many days a week on average are worked, pay while on call and opps to grab more trips. I was basically wondering if I could afford to be a FA. Thanks in advance for any info or advice you may be able to give me.
