I have some friends who are flight attendants and they look like they have the best of times and have met such amazing friends but the training sounds rough
yes it truly brings so many great people and experiences but training is something I would never want to do again lol
@@happylittlelife đđđ
Can males do this?
@@zeroace111 Yes, and they are highly desired. You actually have a better chance as a male.
Exactly!

A friend of mine is Flight Attendant & I just applied. Praying it's meant to be đđđ
Thxs for video đ
Loved this video! Had my first interview yesterday đ€đŸ
New Subbie. So thorough and straight fwd. thank you for protecting us in the skies.
thank you so much! đ
This the first video I saw . Love the topics you expressed very good .
thank you so much for this information. i have my virtual interview next week. i appreciate this!
you go girl! let me know how it goes!
Howâd it go?
Iâm from a small town in va and this was super helpful for me! Thank you for this informative video
same! and thank you for watching! đ«¶
First, thank you for taking the time to discuss this topic! Second, I have a few questions about options. Do you choose regional or mainline? Also, do you get to choose between reserve or lineholder? Are they strict about dress code specifically runs in panty hose throughout the day?
thanks for watching! and essentially yes you choose regional or mainline because its different when you apply. reserve and line holder is not really a choice, its what your seniority can hold. and they would prefer you didn't have runs in your pantyhose but no one is following you around checking lol
Thanks for the tips I appreciate so much
You can look like anyone. Bottom line, the recruiters are looking for a "certain something". Not everyone has "it" I'm not sure what it is. But I was hired as a mainline fa immediately. But the fa's work as a team and able to work on your own and be your own boss. And be able to handle any situation thrown your way. The recruiters know who they are looking for and hire them. Good luck!
It's the BEAUTY
Thank you for this! Iâve been looking for opening and they are all looking for language speakers. Really hope they have openings soon for English đ
This was very informative, thank you for sharing! đ âïž
of course! đ
Thanks for being informative, appreciate you đ
anytime! thanks for watching đ
How often do they open applications, say per month or week?
While training, traveling and stays, are you 100% responsible for these expenses? Are you considered âon callâ while training?
Are you required to be vaccinated?
Iâm interested in applying these days and Iâm super scared also super curious at the same time . Thank you so much for this video!
during training they pay for your hotel as well as when youâre traveling!
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful and I feel more prepared and excited!
yay good! Iâm glad it helped đ have you been through the interview process already?
@@happylittlelife if I only want to fly in the states do I still need a passport
@@kingb7038 yes, they send you where they need you and that may not only be in the states. if they call you to leave the states, you have to go
Should you save up money (and how much if so) in order to start? Since the training is unpaid & can relocate you. Do you recommend saving up enough to live off of for 2 months in another city/state?
Not every airline has unpaid training..
Hey! This video was super helpful. I am currently in the process of my second phase interview and I wanted more clarification if the airlines cover for hotel stay and airfare for training? Or if itâs only for the food that will cover?
hi there and congrats! đ the airline will pay for the hotel during training and they will fly you there but you will have to at for food (at least for my airline) they provide lunch but other meals you pay for
Which airline?
This info is amazing I have my in person next week đ
yay!! you got this! keep me posted on how it goes
Thank you so much for this video I just graduated and my mother wanted me to become a flight attendant she thinks it would be a wonderful opportunity for me and before I just jump straight in I want to know some information and this was so helpful I'm so scared because I'm not the type of person to like you know leave the nest and I'm always with my mother i just took a trip to Florida for the first time ever being on a plain my body felt very weird and sick being in a new Environment I don't know what I should do but I know ounce I'm ready this was so helpful â€
I just graduated from high school too and Iâm scared aswell
so glad I could help! and it is something you have to be mentally prepared for. đ§Ąđ§Ą
Recruiters know what they are looking for.mom wants you,not enough.look for another career that u will be very happy in! It's not for everyone.flying is not for everyone, you never see family,friends,alone on Christmas,NYE,birthdays,every holiday. There are many other fields in airline industry!! Travel benefits too!! Good luck
Is there an age limit for flight attendant
Thank you đđŸ Iâm applying tonight .
of course! good luck!
Yeah
Might be a strange question but what do you do with your dogs on those days when you have very limited time to prepare for flights?
I got my CJO and I leave on the 26th for training. This was helpful! Thank you for the video :)
yay!! so glad, good luck and Iâll see you in the friendly skies!
Hey how was it and what are u doing now ? Update us
this was so very helpful!!!
thank you for watching!
Question-whatâs the average annual salary for 1st time flight attendants?
I love you omg! This was so informative and helpful.
so glad to help!
contemplating a career change after watching this â
yassss come on over, we would love to have you! đ€
This was very helpful, thank you đđż
Thank you for your video and all the helpful information. Im very interested in this career and actively trying to get involved. One question I have for you is didn't you have too or do most airlines prefer you to have already gone to some type of flight attendant school or classes before applying or should you apply without any experience and if accepted they send you to the classes required?
no airline experience! just customer service experience on your resume and they will teach you everything else âș
Your video was very informative! I plan on becoming a FA. I live in Miami but currently work as ramp agent for MIA, does that experience help in getting hired as a FA?
I also have 2 passports, Canadian and American, Im just wondering if my ramp agent experience will make me stand out as a candidate?
Great video, i have one question though. Would you need to be a citizen of the country the airline is based in? I am currently going through high school and I really want to be a flight attendant in Canada.
Thanks for sharing it with us đđ
Thank you for this most informative video! I do have one question. I'm not a good swimmer, I can swim across the pool but only dog-paddling or on my back. I'm not comfortable in deep water at all. I have to know the bottom is at or just below my feet to be comfortable. I tried learning, took some lessons, but no use. Will this hurt my chances?
thank you for watching! and nope, swimming is not a requirement. you will be fine without knowing how to swim đ
@@happylittlelife wow, that's awesome, thank you! đ
@@happylittlelife thanks for answering I'm also not a swimmer at all, in any way, and I'm worried about the ditching training
@@BowtiesRcoool no worries, we dont actually get in water for ditching, not at the moment anyways.
@@happylittlelife OK GOOD LMAO-
Thank you a million for this video đ
thank you for watching!
Is there something airlines are specifically looking for in an applicant when hiring? I know you said that itâs required to have a high school diploma or GED but is there anything else in the resume that they look at?
Anything in the hospitality/retail industry
Thanks for this trying to switch !!!
of course!
Thanks so much for this video, Question do i had to go college to get started?
This was awesome I have my interview next week
good luck!!đ
thank you this!! iâm thinking about this but have no clue if itâs right for me. iâ m 20 yrs old and think this career might be perfect for me for the next decade or so, but whatâs the schedule like once you get promoted to higher levels? When iâm 30 or so, and have kids, etc⊠will i be able to manage a flexible and healthy work-life balance?
Yes because your seniority will be at a point to where you can preference your schedule the way you want it. A lot of the more senior FAâs get 2-3 weeks off at a time because they get awarded what they bid for. They might work only at the beginning or end of each month and have the middle of month of, for example.

EXCELLENT video ! I saw another video and she stated that you can be told to report to the airport but not be assigned a flight. Do you get paid for reporting . Reserve will receive days off every week?
yes ma'am that's correct! you will receive hours for sitting at the airport even if you aren't used. & reserves get a minimum of 1 day off a week but could be more.
Awesome video thank so much! Question for you I am interested in becoming a FA but I wanted know if you think I would have to cut my hair or wear it a certain way? Thanks for your time đ
hi there! so you would just need to pull it back (: other than that youâre good
Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. What was your approach to studying The Schematics?
Thank you for this video đđŸ Iâm looking for a career change. Iâm OVER being a Dental Assistant..
Hey beauty ! Loved the video and it answered a lot of my questions but my one question is while training and relocating, do they pay for your stay ..? Or thatâs out of pocket ..?
hi love! so in training they put you in a hotel but relocating would be out of pocket. my airline gave us a hotel for a week after training but other than that we had to cover everything!
@@happylittlelife hi beauty, do you have to share the hotelroom with others or do you have your own room while training ?
@@hrm9081 unfortunately during training you share a room with someone but when youâre actually working, you get your own (:
Great video! Iâm curious if someone who is older and has kids like me ever begins a fight attendant career? Iâve been thinking of switching careers and have always wanted to be a flight attendant.
I have been tyring to apply it just sends me to different sites I need this change in my life .....btw the most useful information that I have found keep doing it,
just keeping checking all airline carriers websites every so often. and thank you so much!! đ
Thank you for this video! What airline are you with ?
Omg this is perfect for me I wanna join!!!
Hey I've been researching everything for a few days now, and it just occurred to me. I am missing one of my incisor teeth and am still a few years out from being able to get a implant to replace it. Would i basically be automatically ruled out from the process because of that?
Hey sis, thanks for the information but my worry has been like for the ladies, when youâre maybe having menstrual pains,are you allowed to rest or sleep on the plain?
hey there! and unfortunately no :( we do have downtime once everything is complete but nothing set in most situations.
Considering this at 43 am I nutts? My youngest is 14. Iâve always wanted to be a flight attendant could never part from family but with.. looking forward to a new adventure soon.
Hi! My name is Catarina and I happen to live in Finland and my dream is to become a flight attendant. I am studying tourism at Vocational Institute, I will graduate in December and after that I am thinking of applying to Finnair. This video gave me a lot of useful information so thank you so much for the info and I hope that I will be a great flight attendant like you one dayđ„°.
aww thank you so much!! I really appreciate that â„ïžâ„ïž I hope to see you in the friendly skies soon!
do you learn a lot from studying tourism? is there other majors to study to travel?
Omg my name is Katarina! I hope you are still enjoying school and get to be a flight attendant some dayđ„°
Thank you so much for this video! It was so much more information than I expected & was everything I needed. Iâve been thinking for a few years about applying but never knew enough to take that leap. I have one question; Iâve been thinking of going to University for a degree & was wondering how difficult it would be to be a flight attendant & go to school. Would you recommend getting to a more senior status before starting school?
hi there! thank you for watching! and honestly school and being a flight attendant in the early stages would be close to impossible âčïž your schedule will be too all over the place. after gaining some seniority I believe it would be doable but I wouldnât recommend it for now
You gave some good information
glad it helped!
how old would you recommended working as a flight attendant? Im 19 yrs old in college right now and donât graduate for another 2 years and a half. I would want to join reserve but I worry that the schedule would be too hectic for a full time student.
I'm in the same situation as you đđđ
Do you have to be US citizen in order to be flight attendant or is ok if youâre a resident with green card?
Thanks for this content! I'm curious: Do most airlines allow their employees to commute for free or at a discount?
its for free, or you can buy a discounted ticket (:
Does overtime ever come into play as a flight attendant..?
So is it best to just not drink or go out when youre on call? I cant imagine being out or having had drinks somewhere and then get a call saying you have to work that day. Also is the pay different for mainline and regional?
yes its best to not to when on call because you can't drink a certain amount of hours before your shift but you can live your life (kinda) just have to be available 3 hours after they call.
okay sos im wanting to become a flight attendant its always been my dream , I was looking into a training program because I thought my resume wasn't speaking enough for itself just having a few years of customer support , do you recommend just applying and then they pay for ur training ?
đ”âđ« sos
Super helpful thank you
glad to help!
Thank u so much!! I have a question lol. Do we sometimes get discounts on flights? And did u say we have to pay for our hotel every time?
hi there yes you would basically fly for free or you can buy discount tickets. and when youâre working, they pay for hotel
You can fly free on standby with your airline or book a jumpseat 5 days in advance
How do you work on call with a dog? Also love the Rock outfit
Can you drink off duty? I saw online that 12 hours prior you canât drunk but that is hard to make that call if your on reserves Iâd think?
yes 12 hours is the rule! on reserve once youâre at your layover (if itâs long enough) youâre free to do whatever you want! and your days off of course. trust me, we get our drink on đ€
Iâm late so I hope you can see this , but Iâve been thinking about being a flight attendant and the only thing I can think about is how difficult it is opening and closing the airplane door lol, what if you canât do it ? Or youâre struggling too much in training to do it ? Will they not accept you
lol you definitely need to be able to open and close the door but we dont do that everyday .. the gate agents do
Can you come back home everytime you work? Or do you have to stay at a hotel sometimes?
so most of the time you are staying at a hotel but there are some 1 day trips. for me personally, I am usually out on the road for at least a couple of days.
Can you do part time as a flight attendant? Iâm not sure if thatâs a dumb question⊠I have a daughter and keep going back and forth if this is a career Iâd want to go into being a single mom.
hi lovely! unfortunately starting off it would be full time and on call .. I dont want to say a single mom canât do it but you would definitely need some support and people to help with your daughter. hope this helps
Hi! I see a lot of people saying summers are the worst to fly can you elaborate on that please? Also how do you maintain a positive mental space?Also, maâam! Tips on how you on that CJO on the spotđ„ł
summer is kicking our butts! lol itâs very tough right now because of so much travel. lots of flights falling apart and delays etc. honestly, my mental health has been in the trash for the month of June lol but Iâm getting back to myself. and for the CJO on the spot I told myself I am not leaving this place without that job! lol and it paid off, I was honestly just myself and made jokes, and had fun.
Question đââïž!!
Ok so I heard from a lady who has a friend that is a flight attendant that if you fail a section of training you have to completely restart? Is that true?
Thanks for the video by the way!! This has really helped me think deeper into my career path
so for my airline, we got one test redo but after that unfortunately they send you home âčïž they will typically invite you back at a later date though!
Ty for your informative video. Can you by any chance give me a roughly estimate of what the pay per month is?
customer service is it like having communication skills, a positive attitude?
Quick question! When you get based somewhere, do you have to pay for your own apartment/living space?
yes you do
Just followed you on Instagram! I fly to ATL for my in-person interview next month and I'm so excited!
yay you go girl!! let me know how it goes đ
So say for instance if you were to stay in a place after a flight or a flight gets delayed for a day or two , who pays for hotel cost, you ? or the company
the company pays for hotels
So Iâm 19 and I really want to start but idk what to do. Iâve watched videos and I feel like when I tried to apply I wasnât putting the right information to get there attention
Hey there! When can you start using the free flying benefits after training & how much people are you allowed to use the flight benefits for prr month?
hello! so I believe you can start using your benefits to an extent right away. and once a year you can change who all gets to fly using your benefits. its a few different options but contrary to popular belief you can't just hand benefits out like candy lol
Work Hours begin on how long you are in the air?
Is there like a state test you will be to take ? Or any written tests that have to be completed?
yes they give us written tests every so often and then hands on tests as well
Helllooooâ€I enjoyed your video so much â€Iâm planning to apply air line soon!
So my question is the height.
Iâm not tall and Iâm very concerned to fail bc Iâm short.
Did you have some height test or reaching test?
Thank you in advance â€
thank you for watching! I do not remember any reach test but I believe things have changed a little since I started. I am not completely sure but I want to say no reach test đ hope this helps!
I heard someone said something about having 70 hours and not being there the whole 70 hours but still get paid for them hours if that makes sense is that true?
I donât know what airline to apply for Iâm 18⊠do I have to go to training program or do they train us?
Hello, thanks for your video! I searched through the comments section and I donât see where this question was already answered. I understand that when youâre on call you have to live within two hours of the airport is that true?
hi there! so for my airline they have to give us 3 hours to get to the airport when on call. people dont live near the airport and make it work but they suggest you do, just to make it easier on yourself but itâs your choice. hope that helps!
What would a âbad tripâ mean for you?
If your flight gets canceled do you still get paid
I noticed you mentioned you had a dog. My question is what do you do with your dog? I have a rescue dog and am concerned about how I will work with a dog if I am selected for the job. I am waiting on a virtual interview. Thanks for this video, it was beneficial!
you will definitely need help with your dog! luckily my boyfriend is able to be home with our dog when Iâm away
What is the training itself like? Like do they make you run a mile? I can handle almost all water activities and being timed to do emergency procedures. However Idk if Iâd be able to handle running a mile jumping through obstacles and climbing rock walls. So if anybody knows the answer please let me know
it will not be anything with running or training in that sense.
sorry iâm late but i just saw this :) Soooo i live in Europe and becoming a FA is a dream of mine. Iâll have to choose a university this year and i wondered if you could suggest what field of studies i should attend (i studied human sciences at high school & i am pretty good w languages). Thank you so muchđ©·đ©·đ©·
What about if youâre reading is not all that great? How hard is the test?
Do you have the choice between reserve or line holder?? Or do the airlines tell you what it will be
all new hires start as reserve
questionđđŸââïž : how is the virtual job tryout? any advise?
I just got my results .... I didn't make it ... Bombed ... I feel horrible .. but I'm going to try again n six months
Question .. do I need to have my high school diploma on hand ? I lost mine years ago
Hey Iâm trying to become a flight attendant is there actually a height limit?
I have a question though where should I start from? And how can I apply just or I have to have some certification or classes that I took?
just apply online at whichever airline youâre interested in, website (: no certificate needed
This is good information
