But in the scheme of things the flight attendants are at the bottom of the food chain in the airline industry.
The airlines settle contracts with all the other groups first and then there is nothing left to give the flight attendants.
How much would you like a flight if there were no one to help you?
Airlines are paid for by private individuals using the services of the airlines. The market dictates what they can charge and therefore what the flight attendants can earn. School is based on the taxes that the government collects. It is an apples to oranges comparison.
