Flight Attendant Information - Flight attendant for a job?

Flight attendant for a job?

Soo... I was recently thinking of being a flight attendant because I dont know what im good at yet... I was thinking of being a professional pianist but there are millions of pianists out there.. Ok soo, what do I have to do in college to be a flight attendant? How is the life of a flight attendant? How many days do you have to work for a month? Or how many hours a day? Any other information would be good =DD... Btw, Im 16 so being a flight attendant is just an idea for my future because I dont know what else to be = ) Haha... nice comments Also, since your "traveling" do you get a chance to know the area and just go around?

I think you just have to be gay if your a guy, lol. seriously i think that's the stigma with male flight attendants
flight attendent is not a bad job. you get to visit different places. but you have to be ready all the time to go on trips.
Conratulations!!!, you're on your way to become a gay.
No rush to pick a career, life is tough enough. If you want to try it, what's stopping you? Choice is one of the few freedoms we have left, relish it, enjoy it and have fun!
lmao!... im laughing at people's responses. but for real f*#$ them, do what you want, gay or not, do what makes you happy.
It's tough to be a flight attendant and be married and/or have a family. It's basically being a waitress who travels. If that's something you want to do while you go to online college, or whatever, that would be an option. If you want to fly around, you can be an air medic, and then you wouldn't have to travel around, you would just fly in your local area...Hmm - Maybe that could be a segue for you! I just think if you are going to weigh being a pianist or a flight attendant, you have alot to offer. Good luck!

Ok, I am starting college next week, and I'm planning on getting a job as a flight-attendant after college. I have traveled by plane before, and I have spoke to flight-attendants before online. I spoke to a flight-attendant who works for American Airlines, and I've spoke to a flight-attendant who works for Continental Airlines. I once spoke to a lady, who was a flight-attendant for Jetblue Airways. I have done research, on the job. If you go under google.com or yahoo.com, type in flight-attendant job. You will get information abou the job. Airlines prefer to hire people, who have costomer service experience. They also prefer to interview and hire applicants, who have gone to college and can speak more then one languages. You have to dress neatly, and flight-attendants do have job uniforms. The uniforms are similar, but are different depending on the airline. After the airtline hires you, they train you on the job. Most likely they train you on common first aid, what to do in case of an emergency, and the different aircrafts "etc". The pay depends on the airline, and most airlines give their flight-attendants a lot of benefits (like insurances "etc"). Most airlines pay their flight-attendants "per hour per flight time." Of course you get to travel the world or country, depending on the airline you work for. If you have to stay at hotels on the job, the airlines pay for the hotel service. I once heard, that the smaller airlines pays better. The age requirements depends on the airline. Usually you have to be at the least 19-21 years old. Very view airlines hire at 19, and I think there only a couple that do that. If I'm not mistaking, I think Delta Airlines hires at 19 years old. I'm not sure. Most airlines like American Airlines, Continental Airlines, and US Airways, hires at the low 20's. Go on many of the airlines web sites, and you'll find the information I gave you. Godluck.
call the human resources department of any airline in existence and ask them the questions you asked us. I would imagine you'd have to be at least 18, or maybe 21 to be a flight attendant. I don't think the income is as great as it used to be because it seems every other job raised their income but the airlines didn't. How you find out what you want to do is to start into community college and take the first two years toward an AA degree, any subject that interests you. Call your nearest community college and get one of those tests that tell you what you're good in.
I'm not sure why you would want to become a flight attendant, but I'm sure at your age your looking for something exciting to see the world. If you're looking to see the world and also get paid, you'll need to start now. This will show you what you need to do to make this happen. You have about two or three years left before you can enter the "real job market". The sooner yoou start with this the better. safetynet.com is what 38,000 people are raving about.
