Sure, back before deregulation. But the pay today for new cabin crew is not what you think it is, and it takes quite a few years before you can keep your head above water. Some other national carriers like Etihad are going to be different, but they have a lot of other rules to put up with for that extra pay.

Oh for sure at the end of the day it's still massive corporate industries so, ya know, corporate gonna corporate... Long gone are the days where it was a dream career.
