I flew for 30 years for a major US Airline. For those that are interested in being a flight Attendant word to wise. This job requires Self discipline you must be a mature responsibe, dependable man or women. If prospective trainee can't follow rules and regulations for a few weeks,😮 Then when on line they may not be won't be able to follow company rules and FAA guidelines. The job deals with safety and you must be able and willing to comply with safety rules and requirements. This career entails a lot of work and your time. You also have to be a professional person, you are representing the company this is a job not a college dorm. But this career has benefits and advantages and with seniority and time you will have flexibility and more days off that you can't get with another.. job! example a 9 to 5 job. Depending on the Airline you work for some fly domestic others fly international routes meaning your country and the world 🌍 are yours to explore. I remember my time as a flight Attendant with Continental Airlines and United was the best ride of my life. ❤. Good luck to all you future flight attendant. 🤞My Advice for those that make it to training, be a professional dress and act the part at all times. Focus and be on time for training. You hear 🙉 and see no evil no gossip no tattle tale🤭🤫 Study.. study.. study. Best of luck.
Good tips. In training someone got sent home for complaining about the way the company ran the training. She was in the bathroom complaining at the sink and I think an instructor was in the stall and heard her. This is why I didn’t say much in training other than when I was supposed to lol. I needed to focus.
Girl!! We had a girl dismissed because she came back from break 1 min late. She thought she was ok because she walked in with the instructors. NOPE!! regardless if the instructors were there or not.. she wasn't where she was supposed to be period.. we also lost someone because he was having "inappropriate conversations" with other classmates. It's brutal out here.. just graduated Class 11!!
I loved this! I’ve been watching your videos as I just received my CJO with a major U.S. Airline and will start training in January 2023 and ma’am, you’ve been such a help!!! God bless you Queen 👑
Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you for your advice & wit!! I'm taking everything you said & filing it in my mind. But girl....I never laughed sooo hard at your delivery of different situations! You would be a joy to be around! Thanks again & I'm a new subbie!! 😀

Hi Pristine👋🏼Just stumbled upon your channel…and I’m a new subbie! Your advice is spot-on…so insightful and wise…I’ve seen hundreds of FA videos, you’re the first one talk about red flags like this. Bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love your videos and your whole vibe! lol very helpful and also a good laugh! I just received my CJO ( loving the scarf 😉) So nervous for training but your videos are definitely helping!
I LOVE UR STORY TELLING LMAO 🤣 I really appreciate u for doing this tho! I’m a part time shuttle driver and I’ve been thinking of being a flight attendant. Been watching lots of vlogs to see the ups and downs. Thanks for the information 😊
THANK YOU FOR THESE TIPS ❤❤I officially start training next month could you give some good study tips and how to stay motivated or what helped you get through all the hard content that we will be given🙏? 😊
You provided all this info only for ppl to go and still do it! You’re so amazing for this !!thank you! Great job again!!! I leave oct 3 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I have taken everything you said seriously!
Oh my fished i love your hair in this video!!! I have locs and have been a team natural advocate for over 30yrs. These tips are super helpful (mostly seem like commen sense, but we know how common that is....not lol) 😂
Completely get what you said at 12 minutes about following instructions. we had suggestions (that in reality are requirements) in the email for our virtual interview that so many people didn't seem to read or follow in my group. without even speaking yet, they already showed they won't follow instructions :(
7:45 One of my classmates in pilot training was promptly removed from duty for things he did *after* training while at home on his days off. The airline expects you to represent them when you are wearing the uniform just as much as when you are off duty and posting on social media.
Right on point. But, I would add. Check your moral compass. I was in a training for 10 days. Two girls were sent home for sexual activity with over six men. One of the men was a married instructor. Be well.👍
@@realpristine ya it got in my head. They were mean. I failed a test. I think I felt like the kid in school that got picked on and it affected my morale.
My training is 3 weeks in Toronto but i live in Montreal Canada, i have a friend who lives there that i haven’t seen in a while, i wanted to know if they can pass by to my hotel room on my day off, for a day?
I would highly appreciate you tell me how they feel about make up . If they are ok if you go without make up to the trainings or they expect you wear make up as if you are working already
So a bit late but I’m hearing about the black socks thing and I’m curious. Also, not looking to become a flight attendant, like *at all* I’m merely curious since I work with them all the time so forgive me if I’m asking something that’s already been mentioned but… Do they tell you what to wear, to bring with you for training right down to the sock colour and type beforehand, like weeks beforehand? I’m aware that this is probably the case because it would be a bit of a dick move to demand something so specific that you might just plain not own. It might not be something that you wear personally so demanding something you don’t own and have to go out and buy yourself would be unfair. I work as ground crew in the UK and everything that is required to wear by the employer is provided straight up before any training where you’re going to need it is undertaken. Therefore yeah wearing the specific clothing they demand is easy and just a test of obedience… or safety in our case. Everything we wear is for our safety and practicality.
We are given a packet about a month in advance of what to wear. Cost for clothing would come out of our own pockets. 💩 Once we’re done with training we will be given uniforms supplied by the company
@@realpristine Huh, I’m genuinely surprised. We’re given everything we need before we even get through security on our first practical training day. I forgot that our uniform can include thermal socks in winter if we want them. Guess that means the only things I wear to work that are actually mine are my underclothes. But even in other non safety critical jobs when we’re allowed to wear our own clothing while the uniforms are on order and just had to wear a high vis or name tag to mark us as employees such as in retail I’ve never been told to wear something specific unless it’s provided. Otherwise it was guidance like flat practical shoes or not to wear jeans. How curious. I wonder if it’s an FA thing or an American thing. Anyway if you’re willing to answer questions I have a few. It would save me considerable time trawling through videos. It’s odd that I spend so much time working with or around FAs yet know so little beyond what’s commonly known. (Don’t worry, I know the primary purpose is safety for everyone on board and find it irritating that the public image seems to be of glorified waitstaff. I won’t even get into the verbal abuse FAs seem to get hit with because that’s a topic for another day.)
Thank you for making this video! I have a question. 🙋🏻♀️ I’m in the process of getting my passport right now. Do I Need to have my passport the day of my face to face interview?
Okay great. So I don’t need to have it the day of my f2f interview, but I can definitely have it the 1st day of training. Awesome! Thank you soo sooo much ! ❤️❤️❤️
Some of these red flags are crazy 😂😂😂 clubbing? Shouldn't they be studying their material ? I could not do all that. Like I'll go to class and head back to my room to eat , listen music and study then sleep. Is it mandatory to socialize with everybody else there? Are they watching you to socialize? Or they don't care if you talk with everybody else?
@@SparkleJae there’s nothing wrong with declining a group me invite. However, I joined my (class ) group me just to be well informed of what’s going on and if I missed anything. Also, sometimes they may drop study tips/ extra notes. One time I wasn’t able to log into the virtual class and the group me became beneficial because I was able to let my classmates relay the message to the instructor that I was having trouble logging in.
Useful tips on the group invite for sure. Because I was like oh no I wouldn't wanna be involved in anything at all to make me look messy lol. It's so strange as to why there would be so much drama between future FAs 😂😂😂 like wwwhhhyyy
I’m a flight attendant with a 2year old & I will say you need a very supportive support system. It was easy for me because I was a flight attendant before I had kids, and already in love with the industry so I was going to make it work. but I don’t think I would’ve took the job if I had my child first and not the job.
I just got my CJO with a major airline and I have three under 12 and it’s all about a support system that will be there for you. I have met a flight attendant with two toddlers and so much more. You can do it but you must have backup and support ❤ you got this mama!
@@realpristine thank you. I'm 55 I tried 22 years ago just to be sent back home for something silly . I studied so hardm I was ready to be a flight attendant. Until now I still will like to become one.
Keeping it Real!! Oh and I hate grasping. They do that crap in the Flight Attendant industry as well 😫. A case of wine bottles the first week of training..What the heck! That's Straight Ghetto! 😂 Oh lord smdh!
You really should be an instructor, but I know you said that you weren’t that interested in one of your newer videos. You definitely have to personally.
I pray you will not be like the other youtubers, by that I mean they say ask questions and contact me if you have questions, but then they don't respond. I am much older and I would like to be a flight attendant and I need help will you please help as much as you can? Thanking you in advance for your time:)
Flight attendants are on the plane for safety of passengers. Passengers have heartattacs and other first aid problems.ypu have to know where and how to use emergency equipment. Can't depend on a wasted or high flight attendant.
how old is too old? is 61 too old ?? just wondering. I know if you are older and you get the job - you need to just keep the age issue to yourself. Your right no one cares.

Oooop🤯 and I’m not even surprised. The instructors would pop up everywhere, the hotel , the bathroom, the break room and always WITH A LISTENING EAR

I’ve seen plenty of training classes graduate with less than half the class. Following instructions is a hard rule to follow for most 🥴
It’s crazy there’s drama in every job. Toxic people is why I quit. Like I just wanna do my job and go home.
People need hobbies outside of work so work doesn’t occupy their life 💩
7:45

How did they find out?
You remind me so much of myself you’re hilarious
I learned if your on time your late I always try for 10 -15 min early

Please, can you tell me if cigarette smoking is taboo/prohibited?
No
Smoking kills
Is there an age limit as to when you can start training for the first time? I’m 51.

No
@shellygibson6426, the airlines are hiring people in their 50’s and 60’s, and even a few in their early 70’s!!
Girl what does drug abuse have to do with becoming a flight attendant so ridiculous 😂😂😂
Unfortunately, alcohol and drug abuse is very common in the flight attendant realm
Flight attendants are on the plane for safety of passengers. Passengers have heartattacs and other first aid problems.ypu have to know where and how to use emergency equipment. Can't depend on a wasted or high flight attendant.
how old is too old? is 61 too old ?? just wondering. I know if you are older and you get the job - you need to just keep the age issue to yourself. Your right no one cares.
I don’t think 61 is too old. Airlines are looking for healthy individuals, fit for duty 💪🏾
@rizzo3170 go for it! The airlines are hiring many people in their 50’s and 60’s!
“You don’t get power points for being a grandma “
That was a little rude comment.
The grandmas who needed this advice before training appreciate the honesty.
