Flight Attendant Information

where can I find information on how to become a flight attendant?

I am 46 years old, and have an interest in a career as a flight attendant. Can you give me any kind of reference or information in this type of job?

1. google search flight attendant training/school. or look at specific airlines websites (sometimes they will train you w/o school) be ready to relocate and travel! good luck!
2. This site from the Bureau of Labor Statistics has much useful information about that career.
3. One of the cable channels has been airing a show with Frontier Airlines flight attendant trainees. You can probably go to their website frontierairlines.com to get downloads of the series that has been airing for the past year. Most carriers are looking for mature second-career candidates, but you have to be fit to handle the safety requirments like door openings and evacuations. And it's a lot less glamrous than most people think. So I'd suggest you talk with several before you make that commitment. good luck!
4. It would be helpful to know where you live. Are you in the US? For example, US Airways is having a recruitment session on Wednesday in Phoenix (day after tomorrow). I found this out just by going to their main reservations website and looking under careers. I'm a flight attendant -- email me privately if you want some specific questions answered.
5. Take a look at http://www.airlinecareer.com/ There's some great information here. Good luck! - Stuart
6. If you go to an airlines website. Click on something along the lines of employment opportunities and follow the steps from there. I have gone to Alaska Airlines site and was also interested in doing the same thing.
7. It would help If I knew where you lived. In Canada, you can write any of the airlines, they will set up an interview with you
8. here is a website that might help
9. are u not a little too old to consider a change of profession, what have u been doing all these years, and why a flight attendant, or are u thrilled by the risks, y not a teacher, a lawyer, doctor, nurse, driver, or even a computer analyst or operator...hahahaha don't let me discourage u, i was a former fligt attendant, i resigned 3 yrs ago, i am now a musician...good luck
10. Take a flight and ask the attendant.
11. try to google it or goi to yahoo.com
12. go to www.horizonair.com there is information there for you, including requirements, training info, etc. you will need to attend training and then you will be put on reserver - not much flight time in the first couple years. well worth it if you can stick it out. good luck
13. the internet
14. try www.jobfinding/flightattndnt.com/http good luck
15. I use to work for Delta Airlines. To get a flight attendant job you need to put in a App with the airline. i know that Delta and Southwest airlines you can put in a application on th internet at there website

17. I would check at the aieline you what to work at and check at the airline web site
18. on the Internet
19. apply to the airlines. You dont need special classes or anything of that sort. The airline trains you, a friend of mine applied to S W airlines and she likes it a lot.
20. Try calling your local airport. Good Luck!
21. I would try going to major airline's website. Or you could try calling them.
22. http://www.inflightcareers.com/
23. I worked for a major airline for 31 years...it's a lot tougher than it sounds...good luck
24. Contact the major airlines for an application. Each airline should have a website that can be found by doing a google search. This is a great job if you like to deal with people, travel, not be home for several days at the time, and NOT earn much money. This is from experience. I was a flight attendant. Loved every minute of it. Would probably still be flying if I had not married. Don't let anyone discourage you from trying something you are interested in doing. Age truly does not matter if you are physically fit.
25. i think yahoo has a jobs section, try that.
26. Go to the airport & fill out an application.
27. Go to this link and find your type of information which u want.
28. airport job
29. Each airline's website is probably the best place to begin. I heard somewhere that Frontier Airlines and Southwest Airlines are the two companies that are looking for new flight attendants at this moment. Good luck and enjoy your travels!
30. you can apply at any airport in your area American airlines
31. 46 is too old to waste your time on trying to become a flight attendant- you are too close to retirement age and a financial liability for airline
32. go to one of the airlines website and look under careers. just for example http://www.southwest.com
33. dear, I afraid you are too old to be a flight attendent...
34. web
35. Search the net!!!!!
36. Search from the airline website u wish to join. Differ airline will have differ requirement. If there's any intake, they will normally post out in their website and you can get info from there.
37. As far as i know i think u r overage for this job. my intension is not to hurt u but if u r totally new in this feild then i don't see any cahances. Despite of that u can collect some information through the sites u've been suggested. may be i'm wrong good luck...
38. Check out the website:www.cabincrewjobs.com
39. Search for yahoo, gogeal or airfrance.com
40. Contact the Human Resources Dept. at the various Airlines you're interested in.
41. Contact the airlines that you might be interested in working. One with a hub at your local airport might be best.
42. Go to search engines on the internet, and type in flight attendant as your key word.
43. Contact the Airline you are interested in.
44. to find out how to become a flight attendant go to website, www.airlineinflight.com
45. Either at the airport Just take a plane and intern for a bit.
46. Try checking omniairinternational.com a friend of mine works for them and she loves it.
47. i think one of your best bets is to find a few websites of airlines that you'd like to work for, then look at the applications. in Canada, for example, you need to be fluent in french, there is a minimum height/lifting requirement, etc. Some applications are quite descriptive and will point you in the right direction.
48. i used to work for an airline. it may not be necessary for you to attend any type of training school for flight attendant, depending on your previous experience and the airline. some airlines will hire first their own customer service agents for these positions, but if not enough they will hire from the street. check out websites for airlines and they will tell you if they are hiring at this time or if you can apply even if you are not. some type of customer service experience helps and so does a second language, and of course any travel experience or background. good luck.
49. i know miami air international is hiring, you might want to check them out.
