Airlines tend to hire ad hoc ... meaning they will unexpectedly advertise for a week or so, then get enough applications and stop taking more for another few months or even a year.

The best thing to do is to visit all the web sites of the airlines you would like to work for, and register your interest on their careers page. When jobs become available, they'll email you so you can then submit your application.

If there is no registration available, keep checking all the web sites once or twice a week. (Load the careers page into your favourites and make this a normal on line procedure for yourself. It should only take you a few mins to check a lot of web sites.) Don't rely on only one airline. You'll be waiting years and years for a vacancy to show up - you have to consider a few of them.

Good luck!

Most major airlines, or legacy carriers like Delta, US Air, American, United etc aren't hiring FA's. Low cost carriers, or discount airlines like Southwest, Air Tran, America West, etc still are taking applications. Also check Spirit Airlines, Sun Country, Allegiant and regional carriers like ASA, Comair, American Eagle, Sky West, Us Express...etc. Try Frontier, MidWest, Sun Country, USA3000, World Airways (You'd have to be able to fly International, mostly military charters) Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian, Aloha, ATA...Im starting to draw blanks but there are so many more.

Just know what it takes to be a FA. The first year you are on call and usually have to live in your base in a house or aparment with 20 other FA's. You go when they call and the money is awful to start off. Once you build senority you will get better routes and have to fly less depending on how much money you want to make. You get to fly for free, or close to it depending on the airline. If the cabin is full, you have the option to fly in the extra cabin jump seat.

Go to several airport websites and check the airlines that service them, there are more than I named here, then go to their websites and read their qualifications for becoming a FA and their bases. After your first year or two, you dont have to live in the base city, just commute and hope flights aren't delayed. If you miss your scheduled flights, they dont think too highly of you.

Maybe Skywest...but to be honest, being a flight attendent is not all it's cracked out to be. My mom is a flight attendent. She loves that she gets to travel everywhere, but she's been in the business for six yeart and it has been very stressful for her. Along with the bases of choice are limited. I live in CA and she has to be based in Chicago, so I don't see her that often, and she's always exhausted. Just think it through completely first.

i replaced into looking into this quite a few years in the past and what I had got here across replaced into to look on the businesses internet site. you will could desire to seek what cities the hubs are placed in. working example... Delta is predicated out of Atlanta, Georgia... Frontier airways is out of Denver, Colorado. and so on. good success!! I do even nevertheless think of your greatest subject is that no longer a great form of the airways are hiring because of the financial device and such.
