Flight Attendants Are Essential Workers
Even with schedules at 10-20% of normal levels, Flight Attendants are still working and providing essential service to our nation. Flight Attendants have been on the frontlines of COVID-19 since the beginning, and many studies show they are the most likely exposed workers after healthcare. Flight Attendants are continuing to advocate for proper PPE, cleaning, and social distancing in airports and on our planes and are also promoting hazard pay, and sick pay or minimum pay for those who do not have it.
