Netflix hires a flight attendant for its private jet – and pays $385,000

Streaming giant Netflix hires a flight attendant for one of its private jets, a job that brings in up to $385,000 a year.

The role, advertised on the company’s website, requires the Northern California flight attendant to carry up to 30 pounds, travel the world for extended periods, and “be capable of standing for long periods.”

The flight attendant will also be required to fly the Gulfstream G550 as needed. The streamer, known for hit shows like Stranger Things, Bridgerton and Squid Games, said the ideal candidate can secure “confidential air travel” and should be able to do his job “with discretion.”

While the company did not list a specific remuneration range for this role, it does list a general market range for similar positions ranging from $60,000 to $385,000. Compensation will be determined based on experience level, the company said.

Netflix said the ideal candidate is not only professionally trained in cabin and passenger safety and emergency aircraft evacuation, but is also able to “embrace Netflix’s culture of freedom and responsibility.”

This culture includes “working with little guidance and a lot of self-motivation,” Netflix said.

Despite high wages, Netflix has been retooling its organization since its subscriber numbers began to decline last year. The company laid off hundreds of employees, implemented a plan to crack down on password sharing, and launched a cheaper, ad-supported tier.

Subscribers are gradually returning, thanks to a slew of hits including “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” and the new season of “Emily in Paris.”

The company reported 223.1 million subscribers in the third quarter of last year, up from 220.7 million in the second quarter. This is a marked improvement from the 213.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2021.

Netflix is ​​expected to add 4.5 million subscribers when it reports fourth quarter earnings on Thursday.
