In the last couple weeks work has been hectic and stressful. Most of our planes are broken so everything is either cancelled or delayed badly. It's crazy. So I'm either really late or stuck somewhere.
Yesterday for example I was to report to work at noon, but around nine thirty my company called to tell me the flight had been dropped. So I then showed up at the airport at seven thirty and was cancelled and then told to come back at ten. Then that was cancelled and was on call until midnight in which I was not used. So I was on duty for about four and a half hours and was paid nothing.
For those who don't know, I only get paid if I fly. So from when the main cabin door shuts and when it opens is when I get paid. So all the time I'm sitting around not doing anything, boarding, deplaning or whatever I'm not being paid. I can put in a 14hour duty day but if I for only an hour all I get paid for is that hour.
The pay sucks but it's a fun job and I still it enjoy it and looking forward to what it holds for me in Charlotte.

Wow, I've never thought about how you would get paid....only when you're actually in flight! That's crazy. Seems like you should get SOMETHING for your time in airports!!
