A few years ago, Jetemployment.com did research on average salaries of flight attendants. At that time we reported that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics average yearly earnings of flight attendants (in 2006) were $56,150. We also looked at payscale.com and reported salaries in two states at the 50% mark – meaning 50% of job seekers did better and 50% did worse.  We reported on salaries for a flight attendant with three years employment in states of New York and Illinois, which were $42,972 and $40,317 respectively.

 One more airline files backruptcy this week!  As did Aloha Airlines, ATA also had a large stake in flights to Hawaii. SouthWest used ATA for many of its flights.

From ATA’s own website (www.ata.com)

After filing for Chapter 11 on April 2, 2008 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Indianapolis, IN, ATA Airlines has discontinued all operations and cancelled all current and future flights. Following the loss of a key contract for our military charter business, it became impossible for ATA to continue operations. Unfortunately, we were not in a position to provide our customers or others with advance notice.

Customers who purchased tickets from Southwest Airlines for flights operated by ATA under the codeshare agreement should contact Southwest Airlines directly at (800) 308-5037. Southwest has implemented a plan to take care of all customers who purchased a ticket on Southwest and are scheduled to travel on ATA service by rebooking them on a new itinerary, or offering a full refund for any unused portion of a ticket.
