Talk about adding insult to injury! And that's not even close to a livable wage, it's just barely above minimum wage. She could make more as a greeter at Wal-Mart. Compass should be ashamed.
I hope the union takes Compass out behind the maintenence shed for a little "calibration." I think the public has a right to know the name of any company that has employees eligible for public aid. The lady that checks my seatbelt on The Matterhorn at Disneyland makes double what this flight attendant earns.
I think a good legal services would be good for Kirsten. It is shameful how she is being treated for telling the truth. I hope she will take a look at this info and fight back.

The public would be amazed to learn thta many of the 'commuter' airlines pay shch low wages that many employees could qualify for public aid in most states. The day of the "rich" airline pilot is long gone. The only reason to do it is for the love of the work. I hope this hits the national news, but, not much chance of that.
Was she forced to work for Compass Airlines, like a slave? And what is Compass Airlines, never heard of it.
Shame on Compass !!
