Blaming the worker-bees for the problem is absurd.

You left out benefits, such as:
Vacation pay
Mandatory corporate contributions to pension funds
Night pay (yes, FAs get extra for working at night)
Seniority Pay (yes, FAs get extra for every year over 10 that they've worked at a particular airline).

You need to take a senior FA's salary ($45-50K) and do your calculation.

Fair enough.. make it $104K a year, and it still comes out to only 8 dollars per ticket.

What is going on here is the PHB's are doing what a friend of mine calls majoring in the minors.

They can cut the FA's salaries by 50% and it still doesn't alter the fact that folks like me simply aren't going to fly anymore until some more fundamental issues are addressed.

Until such "issues" are addressed satisfactorily, the airlines will continue to lose money.
