Leah for APFA Flight Attendant Video Testimonials

Speaker: Leah, Dallas Fort Worth 6.5 Years

Leah: Hi, my name is Leah. I've been Dallas based since we got recalled from furlough. I was Chicago based before that. Um, and I have been flying for about 6.5 years now. Uh I thought I was doing ok in the grand scheme of things, I was able to put a little bit of money aside every month. Uh, put a little bit of money towards my student loans every month. I was, I was doing all right. Um, but then early in 2023 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and even with the good insurance, I had to put all of my money towards medical care and all of my living expenses had to be covered on credit. Uh, I was out of work for months. Um, and this is all with the good insurance. So I'm really grateful that I pulled through, uh, and that I was able to pay for my living expenses on credit. Um, but now it's destroyed and I there's no light at the end of the tunnel as far as pulling myself out of this financial black hole. Uh, so everyone is one emergency away from potential homelessness. And with us pulling record breaking profits that's inexcusable.
