Currently, under severe price pressure. Airline wages are not rising.
It's a mature industry with overseas competition, and internal
competition for cheap seats. And I'm sure that the airline has
negotiated a volume disount with the hotel chain (they ain't payin'
retail!), so it's not as high end as it appears.

who knows a few former flight attendants who have taken their
linguistic skills (most in this country are bilingual) on to other
