This is a really good and honest video. All potential FA should watch this

Hey Samantha! Just sending you some love 🥰 Great video! I got my CJO back in September 2023 and your videos have helped me a lot! I will be going to training with a major airline. I though you work for one of the big 3 based on your uniform. Your video was very informative. Thanks!

[@Onthebeach002]

So happy to hear you love what you do. That’s the biggest challenge.

[@micheller7903]

Thank you for being so honest about the job, this is refreshing! I'd love to see your video about the differences between Main airlines and regional :) also you talking about seniority

[@juliejuju7419]

Ooooh! I'm so glad I found you in my new job journey. I have no idea about FA /aviation and all the tips are so on point for work AND life. Thanks Samantha!🎉

Love your videos! I'd be interested in a video about the pros and cons of your base :)

I am SO EXCITED that I found your page! This video was amazing!

[@Nana-om2vb]

This is so well explained!! I am waiting for my training date right now and I loved your video so much. It made me more prepared for this job. Also, I kept watching your F2F video over and over before my interview to feel confident. It worked very well!!! Thank you so much ❤

[@flywsamantha]

Yayyy I’m glad you found it helpful 🫶🏼 Congrats on getting the CJO & good luck at training! So exciting! ✈️

[@ahtrevino]

This was good! Thank you for being real and honest.

[@njjen3953]

That was a great video and I look forward to seeing more from you.

[@user-qu8ir2my4k]

I LOVE your videos thank you so much for all of your insights ! Can you give us an idea or look at what a typical month schedule looks like ? I’m in the interview process right now and I’m trying to wrap my head around what it’s going to be like 🤍

[@flywsamantha]

That’s a great question, I will talk about that in a future video! 🙂

[@monic3715]

Hey Samantha! I love your videos, I eant to ask you what are you using in your lips, brand and color please! I hace not been able to fund a red that goes well with my pale skin. Thank you! 😊🌻❣️

[@beckyfox3779]

Hey Samantha! I’m excited for you to finally get back in the air after your recovery. I am starting training with your airline in January. 😊 Where are you based?

[@flywsamantha]

That’s so exciting!!! I’m based in CLT ✈️

@@flywsamantha Wait… I thought you were with Envoy!

[@liliborbas8896]

Can i ask what watch you are wearing?

[@kathrynhawker275]

Hey Samantha, loved your video. Can I DM you a few questions. CJOs at a number of airlines. (Regional and mainline). Wouldn’t mind asking a couple of questions

[@flywsamantha]

Yes! 🫶🏼

[@kathrynhawker275]

Hey Samantha, your videos have been VERY helpful. Could I possibly DM you regarding Mainline vs Regional? I have cjos at both, and the regional is for the airline I think you work for?

[@emilycassady5635]

I love your videos. I have just started exploring FA as a career choice. I have worked customer service for many years, love to travel, love to treat people with kindness but I am introverted.. is it possible to be a FA when you’re introverted? I am warm, smiley and friendly but I don’t see myself cracking jokes or being the life of the party! What do you think?

[@flywsamantha]

Absolutely! It may not seem like it because I have this KZbin channel, but I am actually an introvert myself! You don’t need to be the life of the party to be a FA, you just need to know how to be friendly and welcoming to people while at work. It takes all kinds of kinds of kinds to run a good operation and airlines know this. They want a healthy mix of personalities because it brings different strengths to the table when needed. You sound like a perfect fit! 🙂

[@j.anderson2919]

Where do you work? I want to become an FA I applied with SkyWest I’m a mom of 2 girls Married and think they would be a good fit to start . Been in banking 20yrs ready for a change !

[@basselboss55]

Part one is absolutely not correct whatsoever, as a matter of fact it pays more than most of the jobs out there

[@flywsamantha]

For some airlines the starting pay is around $25-30/hr. That sounds pretty good, but when you are only guaranteed 75-80hrs a month, it doesn’t add up to much. Especially considering how many hours you spend away from home. It’s important for people to understand that reality. It’s not a 40hr/week job and there are a lot of factors that can impact the pay.

[@LifingwithKee]

hey I have a question about CJO’ where can I dm you?

[@brunnasud]

I thought you just got hired right before your accident for American Airlines, you made a video trying your uniforms, did you switch to a regional airline after your knee accident ?

[@flywsamantha]

We have the same uniforms 🫶🏼

[@daviethemusicman2885]

Are you allowed to have tattoos as a flight attendant? At the job interview, does the interviewer ask you to remove your pantyhose to check to see if you have scars/tattoos on your legs?

[@flywsamantha]

They do not physically check for tattoos. They will ask if you have them, and ask that you keep them covered while in uniform. They don’t care about scars. It may be different for airlines outside of the US though.

[@hesebelsuarez495]

Hey friend! I was wondering if u could possibly help a girl out if u can! I just went for my second f2f for AA and didn't get it. I followed every step of your "how to get a CJO video" and still didn't get it and I'm heartbroken. Just wondering if u could maybe shed some light. Thank you and great vid!

[@flywsamantha]

I’m sorry. I hate to hear that 😞 I think you can do everything right & still not get the job, and there is really no explanation, other than maybe the interviewers preference. I’ve interviewed with some amazing people who didn’t end up getting hired & I wasn’t sure why. All I can say is don’t give up, your time will come 🫶🏼 If you want to message me on IG to share more thoughts & details, I can try to help you figure out what to change next time ➡️ @heysamanthalouise
