50 ValuJet Employees Quit After Crash
About 50 flight attendants have resigned from ValuJet since the crash of Flight 592, more than three times the airline’s average monthly turnover rate, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday.
The newspaper quoted a local official with the Assn. of Flight Attendants labor union as describing “terrible” morale problems among ValuJet flight attendants.
But the official, Susan Clayton, could not comment on the reasons for the resignations, citing federal investigations of both the airline’s operations and the May 11 crash that killed 110 people in the Florida Everglades.
ValuJet officials told the newspaper that 20 attendants left because of the crash, a typical number following such an incident. Others left for unspecified or more routine reasons, ValuJet said.
