Don't flight attendants also only get paid for time in the air, and not for the work they have to do cleaning the plane and getting ready for takeoff and all the other work you need to do to fly?
Actually fucking wild that flights are so expensive but the people doing the work don't get paid well.
According to CUPE AC’s bargaining briefing notes, the average full-time entry-level flight attendant makes $27,000 annually—less than the federal minimum wage, $36,000 per year.
How is that not literally illegal?
The federal minimum wage only applies to federally regulated industries, such as telecoms or banking.

Why isn't air travel federally regulated? Or do they fall under hospitality workers?
It should be, if not flat out nationalized, after bailing them out with our tax money so many times
Sorry for doing a Simpson on you, but I messed up the grammar.
It should be:
Why? Isn't air travel federally regulated?
According to this link: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/jobs/workplace/federally-regulated-industries.html
Aviation is federally regulated.
I agree with nationalizing them.
