A flight attendant has left social media users stunned after she revealed her ‘insane’ monthly earnings – despite only working part-time hours.
Josette, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, has worked with regional carrier Southwest Airlines for 14 years, and regularly shares the highs and lows of cabin crew life on TikTok.
In December 2024, the content creator uploaded a video to her page @josette_nicole, where she unveiled the considerable sum of money she had been paid that month.
The clip shows Josette playfully sporting a glum expression, along with additional text that reads: ‘Me getting sick of my job… Then I remember my check last month was $9980.66.’
According to the flight attendant, who added ‘further context’ in a caption below the video, her total earnings that month – which equates to £7,489.98 – was her gross pay.
She added: ‘I work about 150 hours a month. Pay does vary depending on how long you’ve been here and how many hours you work. I am very good at my schedule and get a lot of VJA.’
Over 2000 viewers flocked to the comments to share their shock over the amount Josette had earned in a single month – as some jokingly vowed to switch careers.
One person wrote, ‘WHATT I thought flight attendants didn’t make good money?’ as another said, ‘You can make the same in an office job over 35 hours. That’s insane.’

One viewer, who claimed to be a flight attendant, quizzed: ‘150 HOURS???? GIRL HOW??? In my country you’re rarely even allowed to get above 100, let alone 150?? We’re usually maxed out at 80.’
Another cabin crew member revealed, ‘My check last month was €280.’
Meanwhile, one viewer appeared to confirm the legitimacy of Josette’s claims, as they added: ‘Yes one of my close friends is a flight attendant and she is well over $100K. She’s been one for 13 years. Excellent money.’
Others even contemplated switching careers, as one person said: ‘Looks like I’m dropping out of college to be a flight attendant,’ while another joked, ‘Wow this makes me want to jump ship from nursing.’
Another wrote, ‘It appears I should have become a flight attendant,’ while a fourth commented, ‘Maybe I don’t wanna be an architect anymore..’
Finally, one eagle-eyed plane passenger mused: ‘That’s why we never see the super seniors retiring!!’
