Hello Brie :) Just wanted to say thank you so much for these amazing videos!! I work with High School graduates who aren't in employment, education or training, and to have you explaining all of the processes, tips & advice, makes it so clear for someone wanting to be cabin crew. Congratulations on your dedication Brie & thanks again for being so informative and helpful. Kind regards, Liza :):)

I've always dreamt of flying. I've been a Gate Supervisor at a major international airline for the past two years in Sydney and I kinda lost that desire to become a flight attendant, I'm too comfortable on the ground haha but this series has sparked that dream again. Hope to catch you in the sky soon!

Hey Bri! I had no clue what I wanted to do until I recently came across your videos. As I’m still in school I’m just wondering what subjects you would suggest taking in high school, that will assist in getting the job or making the whole process easier? Thank you so much love your videos and found them so helpful😁.

[@BrieanaYoung]

Hello!! I’m so glad that you found these videos helpful 😁 I’m not too sure what subject to take - but just take whatever you enjoy! The most important thing will be getting work experience, so perhaps get a casual job during (or after) schooling go help with that!

Thanks for the whole video series, very helpful. I have question regards "health". I have a bit bad posture and I wear posture collector (can be wear over t-shirt) to keep me straight. I wonder if posture problem can be disqualification for being a cabin crew. Have you met anyone at your work who wear it? I live in NZ but moving to Brisbane in few months and would like to try my luck and apply for work with VA. Also English is my second language so that will be extra stressful ;) Thanks

Hello! Thanks to your video, I passed the assessment day in Melbourne. It really helped !! I have finished the physical assessment at designated physio and the physio therapist gave me a pass and sent the result on the spot. It was back in 2nd of April. But I haven't heard anything from VA.. have I passed ?? Do I just wait or even if I made the physical, it's not done yet? I am getting anxious 😟

[@taniastanton3141]

Thank you for these videos, such a great help. I have an assessment day with one of the regional Australian airlines in a couple of weeks which I'm so excited about. I declared that I have a small, non offensive tattoo, high up on my inner forearm that I can cover with either professional, waterproof makeup or a long sleeve. From your experience, how lenient is the airline you work for in regards to tattoos? Do they let crew cover them with makeup or long sleeve? Cheers 😁

[@BrieanaYoung]

As long as you can cover it with clothing it’s usually fine 😊! Good luck at your assessment day!!

[@helmarezvanian2045]

Hi there, love your videos :) I am only 14 years old but I am really interested in being a flight attendant as soon as possible when I leave high school. I just wanted to know what I should do during my high school time to be more prepared of being a FA. For example what certificates I should get or what things I have to learn? Basically I want to know how to get prepared for this career. I live in Australia, gold coast as well, so if you have any places to recommend or tafe courses that will help me in getting there it would be great :):):):) By the way how old were you when you started being a FA? And besides training and learning what life requirements do you think I would need ? Like house, job and things like that?

[@georgiefrost1751]

Hey girl - you'll need your first aid and CPR certifications. As well as an RSA. There's no other education but they want you to have customer service experience! So I'd recommend gaining experience working in either retail or hospitality xx

Hey 👋 is it possible that when you apply for a domestic role and you want to apply for the international role is that possible to somehow transfer?

[@Teddy-rh8vl]

It depends on the airline that you pick. For example, your country will have multiple airlines who operate only domestic and then there will be some who operate international only. You can always change your airline later on if you want to otherwise domestic might work for a lot of people !

[@BrieanaYoung]

Hey Jay! As Teddy mentioned it is dependant on the airline! Short answer is: Yes you can transfer... but it's a bit complicated to explain over comment! My next video I am doing a FA Q&A and ill be answering this question in more in depth! So don't miss that one! :)

[@BrieanaYoung]

Hey Awungua! Thanks for your comment, it is wonderful that you want to be a flight attendant one day :) Majority of airlines around the world only hire Citizens to be part of their airline. One of the reasons is you get access to secure parts of the airport as a flight attendant & in AUS you need to be able to get a Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC) approved, being a citizen helps with this application. Don't let this diminish your dream though! Would becoming a citizen be a goal of yours in the future?
