How to become a Flight Attendant?

Id say the pay is decent, ud be required to maybe lift a certain weight- drinks cart, helping with luggage, shouldn't be a problem. U get free flight tickets for u and famjam, u need to be nice and always ready. Some airlines also require you to speak two or more languages, others do not

pay is good the first thing u must do is get in to a airline even if it a small airline it's ok then fly with them for some time then you can go to a big airline speak Chinese, and German will help you in getting a job

To be honest, I wouldn't bother with TCU job corps As long as you have a high school diploma and are 21 years or older with a clean 10 year background check and have some customer service experience, you can apply with any airline. THEY will train you if you are offered a position. There are a few regional airlines that will accept 18 and 19 years, but they are few. As far as pay, flying Reserve out of training with a mainline carrier, you are looking at around $23-$25k a year. Seniority is the key to holding a line and better benefits And there are plenty of male F/A's out there

Don't fall for the "flight attendant schools" and other related scams. Just focus on getting job experience in something like nursing, paramedic, police or security officer, life guard etc. That will help you a lot more. Also try to get a college degree in either nursing or customer service. Get a ton of experience in customer service. Waiter, hotel clerk etc. On average, only 10% of applicants are actually hired, so its very important to make yourself as qualified as possible. Have immaculate grooming, clear speech, polite yet firm, work well in a team, hardworking and upbeat attitude, be willing to work long, hard hours at odd times (a lot of 2am starts) and be willing to work holidays and weekends. That's one of the big things for possible applicants to consider. There is never a set schedule. You are guaranteed to work on weekends and holidays, and you will be missing a lot of important personal events. I have known crew that had trouble getting a day off for their own wedding. At the beginning you will be on reserve, not knowing when or where you are flying. The hours are long and hard, some days being around 16 hours without rest. At the end of the day your feet are swollen and blistering from standing for so long, and you get a lot of colds and illnesses from so much flying. There are tons of male flight attendants out there. You will have an equal opportunity, just like all other applicants. For the US? The pay is absolute crap at the beginning. Most flight attendants starting out can't afford to pay rent, so most sleep in shared houses where you basically get a bed and a bathroom to share with 10+ other people. At the start, is around 1000dollars a month. So its not fun at the beginning! Slowly, you will make more money. Seniority progression is very slow. It takes around 17 years to gain enough seniority to do international flights. If you want this job simply to travel, just forget it. The recruiters can see right through that. Traveling is a perk of the job, not the whole thing. Like I said, it takes around 17 years to start doing international flights. The first 10 years you do a lot of short flights within the US. And also, you don't get to stay in every city you fly to. Plus, you could arrive at 11pm and have to be back at the airport by 9am the next day, so most of the time you don't have enough time to go sightseeing. Its a very exhausting job. And it doesn't help that most people see you as a flying waitress/prostitute. Good luck.

I would guess that at least 25% of all flight attendants are male, so you must not have flown much. Do not waste your time and money on any flight attendant training; if you are hired the airline will train you. What are they looking for? A solid work history to prove that you are a reliable and dependable employee. Customer service background. You should be at least 21 (there are a few regional carriers that hire at 19). Weight in proportion to height, well groomed, poised and friendly. Willing to relocate, willing to work long hours, with an unpredictable schedule.
