How much does a stewardess get paid per month?

Flight attendants of domestic airlines are generally divided into: trainee flight attendants, ordinary flight attendants, international flight attendants and flight attendants according to their position and income from low to high.

Ordinary flight attendants generally have to fly domestic flights for about two years, with a monthly salary of between 2,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan. After that, they can fly in ordinary class on international flights, and then fly in two classes (business class and first class). Cabin), the monthly salary is about 5,000 RMB; and later promoted to the steward (regional steward and shift steward), the monthly salary is about 9,000 RMB. As market competition in the aviation industry intensifies, the income gap between flight attendants in different positions will become wider and wider.

The salary of a flight attendant includes three parts: basic salary, flight hourly fee and overseas subsidy.

Subsidy abroad has shrunk

The basic salary is based on the professional title and type of work approved by the state. It is not much different from the basic salary of other social types of work. The flight hourly rate is based on the amount of stewardess. Calculate the flight time and implement more work and more gain. Before 1997, the "higher" income of flight attendants was mainly reflected in the last item - overseas subsidy.

It is understood that before 1997, all airlines implemented the "resident standard" for flight attendants' overseas subsidies, that is, the living subsidy standard of the country where they stayed during the flight, which could reach a maximum of seventy or eighty US dollars a day. The minimum is thirty or forty dollars a day. At that time, the average monthly salary of flight attendants was more than 10,000 yuan, and the highest monthly salary reached more than 20,000 yuan. They were truly high-income earners in society. However, after 1997, the civil aviation administration issued a unified standard for overseas flight attendant subsidies: US$30 per day. This standard is undoubtedly a blockbuster, which has lowered the income of flight attendants down a notch

Flight hours are restricted

After that, the income growth point of flight attendants began to shift to flight hour fees. Since the country did not set limits on the flight hours of stewardesses at that time, stewardesses actively "worked more and got more". According to information from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, some flight attendants at that time had a maximum monthly flight time of 200 hours. According to the standard of 30 yuan to 80 yuan/hour that major domestic airlines usually refer to, the income of flight attendants is still maintained at a relatively high level. level, flight hourly fees are generally around 10,000 yuan per month.

However, the current situation of flight attendants being in a highly fatigued flying state for a long time led the Civil Aviation Administration of China to impose restrictive regulations on the flight hours of flight attendants in 2003: the maximum flight time of flight attendants per month cannot exceed 120 hours. Limit bottom. Based on this calculation, the maximum monthly income of a stewardess in this area will not exceed 9,600 yuan. With the changes in the shipping market structure, the state has intensified inspection and monitoring in this area, and airlines do not dare to take risks easily. The average monthly salary of domestic flight attendants has subsequently dropped to between 3,000 and 5,000 yuan, beginning to fall into the middle-income level.

Performance-based pay-linking

China Eastern Airlines, one of the three major aviation groups in my country, has taken the lead in implementing the flight attendant labor system. The performance of flight attendants will be directly linked to their remuneration. Recently, The "Interim Regulations on the Management of Salary for Cabin Crew" has been launched. In the future, the salary and benefits of cabin crew with excellent performance will greatly exceed the original standards. On the contrary, the salary and benefits of cabin crew with poor performance will fall below the "bottom line" according to the labor system. The employment contract stipulates that the employee can even be "leaved". The promulgation of the "Regulations" is to separate the compensation system for air crew and the compensation system for ground employees. In the future, the increase in cabin crew salary standards will mainly be reflected in the increase in flight hourly rates

There is another theory

The monthly salary of an ordinary flight attendant is about more than 5,000 yuan

Mystery fades away and competition in the industry intensifies - a reporter's investigation found that the current monthly salary of a flight attendant in an ordinary position is roughly more than 5,000 yuan. According to the "fly more, get more" mechanism, adjustments to international and domestic routes, and changes in positions, the income will vary. of float.

Foreign flight attendants: The remuneration is so generous that they have become the quasi-financial leader in the industry

After 1997, with the unification of overseas subsidy standards by the civil aviation management department and the decrease in the income of domestic airlines, the number of flight attendants The pocket began to shrink.

Statistics from Beijing Foreign Airlines Service Company show that currently the monthly salary of foreign airline stewardesses generally reaches 13,000 to 15,000 yuan, and many can reach more than 20,000 yuan, making them the standard among flight attendants. Gold collar.

According to China Eastern Airlines stewardess Li Manli, one of her classmates on Thai Airways only flies 50 to 60 hours a month, and the flight subsidy can reach 20,000 yuan; another classmate on Japan Airlines earns 20,000 yuan in flight subsidies every month. After flying for 70 hours, his income also reaches 13,000 to 14,000 yuan.

Currently, Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa are the foreign airlines that employ the most Chinese flight attendants. In the past two years, Northwest Airlines, Finnair, Asiana Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, and Thai Airways have also increased their efforts to recruit Chinese flight attendants.

bRecruitment requirements: Strict appearance and physical requirements

The few colleges and universities in China that have flight attendant recruitment qualifications must conduct interviews before enrolling.

Those who pass the interview must also take the National Unified College Entrance Examination

Some colleges and universities that recruit students from the public, such as Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, require candidates to take the Adult College Entrance Examination.

At the same time as the test, a strict physical examination is also conducted. Generally speaking, candidates should not have congenital or acquired abnormal diseases and active, latent, acute or chronic diseases, as well as sequelae of trauma, injury or surgery. Applicants are required to have good facial features, good skin color, a well-proportioned figure, a cheerful personality, dignified behavior, and a height of 160 cm to 172 cm.

b Thresholds for foreign airlines: Pay more attention to inner qualities such as psychological quality

Foreign airlines have much looser requirements for external conditions when recruiting Chinese flight attendants, and they pay more attention to inner qualities such as psychological quality.

It is understood that the preliminary qualifications for flight attendants of foreign airlines are: unmarried, healthy, dignified appearance, good eyesight, height not less than 1.60 meters, age between 20 and 26 years old, college degree or above, Able to speak standard Mandarin and English.
