Netflix offers salary of up to $385,000 for flight attendant job

Netflix has posted a job advert to recruit a flight attendant within its aviation team, working on a “super mid-size jet”, and with a salary ranging from $60,000 to $385,000.

It said in the listing that the market pay range is based on total compensation (vs only base salary), which is in line with its compensation philosophy.

The candidate needs to be professionally trained in cabin and passenger safety and aircraft emergency evacuation.

“As you travel, you embrace the Netflix culture of freedom and responsibility, allowing you to operate with little direction and a lot of self-motivation,” Netflix said.

“You also demonstrate the independent judgment, discretion and outstanding customer service skills necessary to provide a seamless experience for our passengers.”

Responsibilities include preflight inspection of all cabin, galley and cockpit emergency equipment and a safety briefing before take-off.

A varied work schedule for the role based in San Jose, California, will include domestic and international travel, weekend and holiday work, and the ability to assist with purchasing aircraft stock before trips.

The flight attendant will also be required to work flights on a Gulfstream G550 jet as needed. G550 is made by General Dynamics' Gulfstream Aerospace. Elon Musk has one. A new jet costs $62 million and a pre-owned can be bought for $14 million.

“At Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of market,” it said.

“We rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.”

The average salary for a flight attendant in the US is $62,280, according to the US Bureau of Labour Statistics.

The top paying US states for flight attendants in 2021 — the last available data — were Connecticut ($111,500) and Hawaii ($104,110).

Netflix cut hundreds of jobs last year as it sought to bring costs under control in response to uneven subscriber growth.

It is scheduled to announce its earnings for the last quarter of 2022 on Thursday.

The world’s most popular streaming network was back on a positive trajectory in terms of customer numbers in the third quarter after recording customer losses in the first half of the year.

It attempted to increase sales by introducing an advertising-supported version of the streaming service in November.

Customers willing to watch Netflix with five minutes of advertising per hour can pay $7 a month, less than half of the cost of the most popular plan.

“When you sweat a lot, you lose a lot of salt and other electrolytes from your body. If your electrolytes drop enough, you will be at risk of cramping. To prevent salt deficiency, simply add an electrolyte mix to your water.”

“Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can ride as fast or as far during the summer as you do in cooler weather. The heat will make you expend more energy to maintain a speed that might normally be comfortable, so pace yourself when riding during the hotter parts of the day.”

What is the FNC?

The Federal National Council is one of five federal authorities established by the UAE constitution. It held its first session on December 2, 1972, a year to the day after Federation.
It has 40 members, eight of whom are women. The members represent the UAE population through each of the emirates. Abu Dhabi and Dubai have eight members each, Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah six, and Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain have four.
They bring Emirati issues to the council for debate and put those concerns to ministers summoned for questioning.
The FNC’s main functions include passing, amending or rejecting federal draft laws, discussing international treaties and agreements, and offering recommendations on general subjects raised during sessions.
Federal draft laws must first pass through the FNC for recommendations when members can amend the laws to suit the needs of citizens. The draft laws are then forwarded to the Cabinet for consideration and approval.
Since 2006, half of the members have been elected by UAE citizens to serve four-year terms and the other half are appointed by the Ruler’s Courts of the seven emirates.
In the 2015 elections, 78 of the 252 candidates were women. Women also represented 48 per cent of all voters and 67 per cent of the voters were under the age of 40.

Three ways to boost your credit score

Marwan Lutfi says the core fundamentals that drive better payment behaviour and can improve your credit score are:

1. Make sure you make your payments on time;

2. Limit the number of products you borrow on: the more loans and credit cards you have, the more it will affect your credit score;

3. Don't max out all your debts: how much you maximise those credit facilities will have an impact. If you have five credit cards and utilise 90 per cent of that credit, it will negatively affect your score.
