Not even that, actually. It's usually "block hours", meaning the clock roughly starts/stops when the cabin door opens/shuts.

- chrisseaton 5y agoSo when they're standing greeting you and wishing you farewell at the door they're doing that for free?

- tyingq 5y agoNot sure, though there is more to it. There's also usually a smaller hourly per-diem that isn't bounded by block hours. And seniority drives pay. If you stick to it, it does eventually pay higher than many other jobs that don't require a college degree. Spirit probably isn't the best example either. Some other airlines provide much higher starting wages, and things like profit sharing.
