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. ________________________________ ________________________________ Candidates need to be able to lift and carry up to 30lbs when loading and stocking the aircraft. “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).
