Money Talks When Getting Days Off From Work

So, I’m still hanging on to my on call flight attendant job. It is a thorn in my family’s side and a pain in my foot as I deal with a sick baby, a sick me and a busy household. Getting time off from work has me obsessively posting, emailing and checking my online schedule throughout the day. Being a flight attendant has me coming up with Plan B and Plan C every week. The real surprise is that everyone has a price. I don’t know why I’m surprised but kinda am. I was offering $50 extra dollars a day for an on call day. I was getting days off here and there. This is a tip from me to whoever picks up the reserve days. I’ve discovered that a $50 tip or $150 tip for three days is so yesterday. If you really need time off as a flight attendant ( and I do) offer $100/day (this is $100 bucks per day above and beyond what they will make from the company). Other mamas like to ask, “how do you do it?” It’s expensive but that’s how I get days off as a babymama who likes to play “flight attendant.”
