The answer is, "It depends." Here is the federal law regarding state taxation of flight attendants:
The pay of an employee of an air carrier having regularly assigned duties on aircraft in at least 2 States is subject to the income tax laws of only the following:
(A)
the State or political subdivision of the State that is the residence of the employee.
(B)
the State or political subdivision of the State in which the employee earns more than 50 percent of the pay received by the employee from the carrier.
