Dozens of flight attendants from various airlines protested outside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday, demanding higher pay.
They joined thousands of other attendants in demonstrations at airports across the country.
It came as more than two-thirds of U.S. flight attendants are in the middle of contract negotiations.

“Our CEOs continue to take large bonuses while our salaries remain flat,” Alison Head, a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines told Channel 2′s Bryan Mims . “Flight attendants are out here today fighting against corporate greed.”
For about two hours, roughly 50 flight attendants who represent three unions picketed along a sidewalk outside the domestic terminal.
They chanted and carried signs, some of them bearing these words: “Deceived, devalued, disrespected.”
They’re fighting not only for higher wages, but better scheduling and retirement benefits.
The airlines involved in the labor dispute include American, United, Southwest, Alaska, and Frontier.
