“American CEO Robert Isom this week sent a video message offering a 17% wage increase, just enough to push new Boston and Miami flight attendants above food stamp eligibility.”
So… wait… they need a 17% raise to just barely beat the food stamp threshhold?
In my state, for a single person, that’s $29,160 a year or $565 a week.
Their income would have to be 24,924 a year for a 17% raise ($4,237.08) to put them barely ahead of the food stamp line, $29,161.08.
479.31 a week to 560.79 a week.
So right now they’re making $11.98 an hour? The new wage would be $14.02 an hour?

Should we be tipping them now?
