Transport Canada requires 1 FA:40 passengers (and the least efficient planes have a ratio of about 1:30)
From what I could find (please correct me if I’m wrong) the average flight attendant makes ~$30/hr, but only while the doors are closed.
I don’t imagine they’re asking for a 33% raise, but it makes the math easier.
$10/hr ÷ 40 people = 25¢ per person per flight hour
I have no idea how much unpaid work they do during a turnaround related to each flight, but I imagine it’s not less than an hour and not more than 2 hours. So at $40/hr total wage that would add $1-2 per person per flight.
So on the worst case scenario/longest flight (YVR-SIN, 16hrs, 298 passengers, 8+2 Flight attendants, 30:1 ratio) that would be ($0.25*16+$2)+33%= ~$8 extra per person.
I did some quick, very rough math.
