A Delta Air Lines flight attendant is looking for advice as she considers starting an OnlyFans (subscription porn site).

She’s three years into her flight attendant career, already has a social media following of over 100,000 to sell to, and since flight attendant pay is very low until you gain seniority she’s looking to make extra money.

I get asked every single day, multiple times, when I am starting an OF. I know that if I made one, I would definitely do well and make more and be able to help some of my family members who are financially struggling.

She worries that if/when Delta found out, she’d get fired – even without appearing in uniform or mentioning her employer.

Apparently several Delta flight attendants have already been fired for OnlyFans.

  • Accidentally having a uniform in the background of a video was enough.
  • In another case reportedly their OnlyFans and Instagram accounts were connected, and the Instagram account mentioned Delta. Also, another crewmember took “videos in his layover hotel and they tried to investigate him because he was using the layover hotel to make his videos.”
  • Other crewmembers, ostensibly friends, snitch.

And working as a flight attendant for Delta has been better than being cabin crew at other airlines. Still, if you’re working reserve or holding a line of less than 80 hours per month, you have time on your hands. And you have a lot of sit time either way. Many pilots have side gigs (insurance is popular, though one at United ran brothels). More flight attendants should, though perhaps they should consider broader options.

In the early days of blogging, and before modern social media, Delta Air Lines flight attendant Ellen Simonetti became a poster child for the new online world colliding with work expectations. She started a blog, Queen of Sky: Diary of a Dysfunctional Flight Attendant in September 2003 but a year later was suspended and later fired for posing in uniform and on planes, combined with her online commentary (she never expressly identified her employer by name). Some of her photos were mildly suggestive. Part of the issue at the time was that in what was then a wild west of expectations, other flight attendants were escaping discipline for similar activities. SHe did self-publish a book.

OnlyFans now has a surprising nexus with the airline industry as its co-founder is an investor and board member in questionable Airbus A380 transatlantic startup Global Airlines. It’s probably both more lucrative for many and certainly safer than the onboard prostitution which was apparently happening on British Airways.

And there’s a niche for everything, as one American Airlines flight attendant was advising colleagues on how to successfully sell feet photos online – something that became popular during pandemic-era furloughs.

Airlines – like many large companies – are broadly concerned with reputation management. I’m not sure many of them have great reputations. Delta’s was harmed significantly enough during last week’s meltdown that this might improve it, but they won’t see it that way. You often have to make a choice between a regular job and OnlyFans.

(HT: Paddle Your Own Kanoo who notes that “a Delta Air Lines flight attendant was suspended and later fired after he hooked up with the now-disgraced adult film star Austin Wolf in the lavatory of one of the airline’s planes.”)
