American Airlines is hiring flight attendants as part of the county's airport expansion, and the station paired the story with a pink cocaine bust, a freight train crash and a governor's race without a debate.

American Airlines opened hiring window for flight attendants at MIA

American Airlines has opened a two-week hiring window for flight attendants at Miami International, and CBS Miami's report on it drew the most viewers of the station's Monday evening uploads. The description ties the hiring to the county's expansion plan for the airport and notes that it is aimed partly at Spirit Airlines employees who lost their jobs. In the small comment section, one viewer pushes back on the pay figure, saying a new hire will not start at that level.

The rest of the evening newscast reads like a South Florida week in miniature. Miami Beach police arrested four people after undercover officers worked their way into two WhatsApp groups, and they seized cash and drugs that included "pink cocaine." A car hit a freight train in southwest Miami-Dade and closed Bird Road in both directions. Deputies arrested a man accused of breeding roosters for fights. In the race for governor, Democrat David Jolly and Republican Byron Donalds chose not to debate, so the station set their answers to the same questions side by side. The forecast calls for more rain ahead of king tides due this weekend.

The channel posted fifteen uploads over the week, and its daily views held close to their usual level, with about 2,000 new subscribers. Across town, NBC 6 South Florida is running a little above its own normal pace. FOX 26 Houston is having the biggest week among the stations closest in size, and FOX 5 Washington DC the quietest.
