How can I become a flight attendant?

Question

I'm 26 yrs old would I be able to become a flight attendant?
Do you require a degree? I'm looking for a career change and I'm seriously interested in this so if anyone could help me out with information that would be great... thank you

Answer 1

No degree needed. Make applications with several airlines. The "feeder" airlines are a good place to start (American Eagle, ComAir, Horizon, et. al). If you get an interview, please dress for business. Jeans are an instant way to fail the process. I have an acquaintance who helps folks with resumes and preparation. He's a career flight attendant with a major carrier. Send me an e-mail and I can provide more information. I don't want to do it on the Yahoo answer site, because it might come across as spam.

Answer 2

airlines now prefer degrees but none are "required"
what background do you have work-wise...
I work as an FA for an airline and never worked for another before this---
but I was picked up by a major, transatlantic, first-class carrier! they look for a certain background in their employees...and they do not prefer people with airline experience. They are the highest paying in the field, we fly internationally from day one, and its a great company! :)
Its lots of fun!! (I, too, am 26 and made the career change just before my 26th birthday!)

Answer 3

Two phrases: TRAVEL NURSE! You get the excellent of each! You can paintings anyplace within the U.S. (so long as you get the state license) and international, if you happen to selected to take action. A lot of journey nursing jobs are approximately 6 weeks (or extra if you happen to prefer), then you'll be able to prefer a further place. Also, the whole thing is paid for you (condominium/residence, and so forth), you are virtually set. I dunno, in my opinion, I believe using on a aircraft day-in, day-out could get a bit historical after awhile. Besides, you could pass to plenty of distinctive towns, however it is not like you are a visitor and get to look the entire points of interest. You in general simply keep a couple of days at a motel virtually the airport, you do not particularly get a hazard to unwind a bit and spot the whole thing. Good success!
