PSA Airlines flight attendants protest for better pay, benefits

Flight attendants from PSA Airlines rallied outside Dayton International Airport, demanding higher pay and improved working conditions after years of stalled contract negotiations. The attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants, highlighted significant disparities, stating they earn approximately 45% less than their counterparts at American Airlines for the same roles. Organizers emphasized the struggles many attendants face, including living in cars or with family due to low wages. PSA Airlines acknowledged the need for a new agreement but described ongoing negotiations as productive. The attendants expressed frustration over a recent wage increase offer of just 5%, calling it insufficient given their responsibilities. Similar protests took place across multiple PSA hubs, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction among the airline's workforce.
