She’s a mile-high roller.A Southwest Airlines flight attendant had viewers vowing to switch careers after she claimed she earned nearly $10,000 pre-deductions in a month while working the friendly skies.She detailed her enviable paycheck in a video with more than 10 million views on TikTok.“This was my gross pay,” gushed crew member Josette in the caption to the clip on her page, where she frequently spills on the trials and tribulations of her air hostessing gig.
