I know you listed training as a con, but I'm feeling very reassured by the amount of training flight attendants go through. Not that I ever thought they weren't well-trained to handle emergencies and stuff, but having it confirmed makes me feel better.

[@kbs1212]

Adina Lesperance A crash has an incredibly low survival rate, so the training is simply to make you and the crew ‘feel’ safe enough to fly. If people knew the truth, people would be too scared to fly and airlines would lose revenue. The emergency procedures for preparing for a crash are just to give everyone something to do instead of waiting to die. Also, very few crew members will actually attempt to save your life in an emergency. I used to be one, and my ex-colleagues would say that all the time. I even admit it myself, because there’s not much that can truly be done anyway.

[@beaublackburn8526]

@@kbs1212 the pilots are the ones trying to keep you safe during a crash so the flight attendants training really doesn’t matter there. Also the safest way to travel by far is by plane

[@BeccaIrene]

@@beaublackburn8526 (10 months later) Actually, the pilots need to focus flying the plane so the flight attendants are the ones helping everyone in the cabin get in the correct landing positions, safety vests, and helping direct people away from exits that might have a fire outside or blocked by water. The flight attendants also know how to properly inflate the life rafts and slides needed to get out of the plane... The pilots must stay locked in the cockpits and exit out the cockpit windows while the flight attendants get everyone out of the plane safely.

[@anonymouscausewhynot]

Personally, I’d rather go through two months of training than 4 years of college.

[@anafontes1520]

Hi Becca, I’ve been a flight attendant for a little over 20 years now and for the most part you hit the nail on the head in your description of a flight attendants job and it’s benefits however I do have to correct you on a couple of things. The pay, although it is true that in your first few years the pay is below the cost of living worthy, the longer you stay the more you make. When I started back in 2000 I was making roughly $18-20K per year. After 5 years it went up a considerable amount and every year after a little more until you reach a full pay cap (in my company it’s the 13 year mark) making around $65k a year more or less (I have colleagues making 6 figures) depending on how many hours you choose to fly (with each new contract that amount goes up). That brings me to another correction. The more you fly the more control you have on where and when you fly. You get to control your schedule and have consistency in your life. Seniority is everything in the aviation works. Earn it and you’ll have control of it. Glad to know you enjoyed it for the most part. Not easy being new and in reserve but if you stick it through for a few years it’s life changing. Good luck on your future adventures.

[@fatoujane]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I am wishing and praying to be a FA just like you

Olá Ana, espero que não te importes, mas poderias me dizer o nome da companhia em que trabalhas? Tenho 17 anos e ando a ver se entro no mundo da aviação também, já que os meus pais sempre lá trabalharam, e eu sempre fui fascinado por isto.

[@Elizabeth-uj8vn]

Thank you so much for the information. Gives me hope I can do this 🙏🏼❤️

[@BeccaIrene]

Thanks for this!! I think I mentioned in the video that unless you are wanting to be an FA as a lifelong career (which I didn't) then the pay is pretty bad. For those who want to stay in the industry despite growing a family and kids, then more power to them! I knew I only wanted to be an FA for a couple years, which is what I think most people aim to do when being an FA for a season and not as a career. I'm glad you are enjoying it and that you've got the seniority to work with - that's awesome! xo

[@smileyyyyy1249]

@@BeccaIrene Hey, if you don’t mind me asking what company did you work for?

[@brianhall23]

Sounds like the job just was not for you. My wife is an FA. She absolutely loves her job! She works for a great company and does get paid very well. Training was 8 weeks, but it is absolutely necessary to assure the safety of the passengers. She gets her schedule a month in advance and her "on call" days are scheduled in a block. She can trade flights with other FA's and pick up flights someone else does not want. She is gone most of the time but our kids are big so it is not an issue. If someone has small kids it would be tough for the spouse at home. You are correct that the dress code needs to be adhered too but I understand why. In the end it is a personal choice.

[@sofyd.123]

[@hehasmyheart4lifable]

Regardless I researched it just like some of the other videos I saw. They tell you from experience pay is crap. They pay for airfare sure. But u only get two chances. Ans I struggled in school so if I pass interview ansnmake ir to training and I screw up on a test I'm stuck I have no money to get back because they wonr help you out!

[@ghazalakhan5262]

Would you please share the company she works for?

[@addictaedtokookie1622]

PROS: 1. get paid to travel (airlines pay for a portion of your food and hotel, on work trips) 2. the spontaneous lifestyle (exciting to go to a new place or meet new people) 3. special treatments by airport (domestic flights let you pack things passengers don't like shampoos and food. cut lines, no queues. dicounts on items) 4. the uniform (gives a sense of pride, feeling of importance, priority access) 5. cemrederie with other flight attendants. bond between airline crew members, meeting new people. CONS: 1. low salary + airlines don't pay for trips other than work trips or if you're allocated another base 2. the spontaneous lifestyle (stressful, unpredictable and can be inconvenient. eg. standby duty which makes you unavailable for many events like weddings or meet ups with friends because you don't know your schedule ) 3. a month to two months training. strict rules like uniform, makeup, certain high heels or certain length of skirt, many tests and drills. becca's airline did not allow trainees to fail 2 times or more (under 90%). training or dress code is paid by air stewardess. 4. the uniform (expensive, get in trouble for not wearing makeup, skirt length too short, hair is not neat, look professional ) 5. being away from family and friends

Hi Aurora, it’s true when you begin a career as a flight attendant or pilot you are on a reserve status with little to no control over your schedule. However, the more years you put in the more seniority you accumulate the more control your schedule and your life you’ll have. I’m 20 years in and pick my schedule the month prior I begin the following months schedule so I can plan my appointments, outings, my vacations, etc. In this industry it’s all about seniority and if you stick it through the first tough few years the rewards just keep getting better

I love your upbeat and bubbly vibe--it really shows why you wanted to be one in the first place. And why you were probably really good at your job! Well done on you for knowing yourself well enough to know when it was time to tap out before you were too burned out and bitter.

Damn I seriously was thinking about being a flight attendant but now idk man. Sounds terrible now

[@genten777]

Operez: It used to be a fantastic job way back in the 60s and 70s .......being a flight attendant back then was some thing special....they hired high quality individuals back then and therefore treated them well as well ie giving them longer lay overs in destinations and also the $$$ was way better too. All of that has changed, the airlines know that there are millions of pretty boys and girls who want this job and so the flight attendants are replaceable easily. Airlines now are in it to make big bucks and so that means longer work hours and less pay. It still is special to be a flight attendant because the demand for it is so high. There could be ten job openings but a 10000 people apply for them!!

[@ash-gw7es]

Yeah but remember that this is the opinion of ONE person. I know lots of people that absolutely love the job. YOU should be the one to judge whether you want to do it or not. You should watch some positive stories as well as negative ones!

Operez94 I flew for 2 years for a North American carrier. Hated it. If you like being paid pennies to feel crushing anxiety, loneliness, frustration, thanklessness and constant humiliation, do it. If you respect yourself enough, don’t do it. Most of my colleagues had to have second jobs to survive.

[@jenniferdepaz3099]

I dated someone who was a FA and all the cons you listed for why you stopped being a FA is the reason why it actually didn’t work out. FAs really don’t make a lot of money so he always picked up trips so that he could make extra money. He wasn’t really interested in leaving to find better paying job or if he did he would miss traveling for free. We couldn’t always spend weekends together like other couples do since he would be on 3-5 day trips. And finally, he seriously was caught up in the FA lifestyle. I don’t blame young professionals for taking advantage of being in a beautiful country or popular town and wanting to go out and party but it sorta sucks when you’re home and you see your bf/gf on an island or exploring a town with their crew and then go out to a bar/club afterwards. For women dating men that are FAs, you also can’t be overly jealous that your bf mighttttt have a lot of female friends bc let’s face it.... majority of FAs are women. So if your bf does decide to go out with a young crew, he’s most likely going to be going out with other women which in turn can make you a little jealous. In all, this video is very true to the FA lifestyle and I have heard many FAs love their jobs. Best of luck to all the people trying to be FAs!

[@abc-wv4in]

youre exactly the type who will be fucking the pilot

Thank you for sharing, I was thinking about becoming a flight attendant and the Internet never told me any of the stuff so I’m really glad that I found your video and I’m starting to rethink being a flight attendant. mostly the only thing that’s really wrong is the money that you’re going to make. I read online that it was $45,000 a year so I was planning on being able to get a nice size apartment for at least $500 a month for rent to $1000 but knowing that it varies then I’m thinking I’m gonna have to re-think my decision I don’t want to struggle

[@BeccaIrene]

Every airline is different when it comes to compensation. But most of the time you have to work your way UP to 45K a year... but need to start at the bottom like everyone else. With higher seniority comes higher pay ;)

[@genten777]

Becca: I really liked the way you described the pros and cons for being a flight attendant! By the way I would like the know what airline gives a 3-4 days in Hawaii for a lay over?? I want to join the airline you worked for!! Most U.S. based airline ( to my knowledge and research give approx. 24 hours off there) Actually that is rapidly becoming a con for being a flight attendant..... you don't get the long lay overs any more!!! You basically get just enough to eat and sleep and not really to gallivant around the town unless you have the strength of Tarzan!! You are tired after a long flight ie Mainland U.S. to Hawaii and so resting and sleep is important too!!

[@li-chan7422]

Thanks, actually I´m thinking to be a flight attendant but I was kind of worried about how to do certain things such as make-up or those things but now I can figure out an idea how that job can be.

[@BellaBeeBaby]

You did a great job with this video

[@BeccaIrene]

Thank you 😊

I used to live in a share house in which each room was 4 bunk beds all crammed together when I lived in Japan.

[@leeloofelek9462]

can i ask you what you did there in japan? like studying? or working?

[@liachatman4715]

I'm 15 and have no idea what i want to do for my future bc i want to be successful... And everything sounded nice to me n fun but she stated the cons i was like:0 this scares meee!! But I'ma try my best to study now so when I'm 21 i can do it:) thank you!!

[@ceisenfeld9807]

The pay can be so bad and everyone is under the impression flight attendants do well financially! Especially when you're at a regional. I had to live with up to 11 other people in a 3 bedroom apartment because I couldn't afford anything else. I eventually quit as well, because for me, the pros didn't outweigh the cons long term. I tried panty hose for about two days (and ruined about 4 pairs). Then discovered compression tights, which last way way longer and at the time, insurance covered! We didn't require makeup in the handbook and I often didn't for 3am shows. They didn't like it, but it wasn't required so they couldn't do anything about it!

[@peterwatt5521]

Great video again...thank you. I was recently on a flight and 4-5 flight attendants were also 'passengers', not one ate the food on the plane and im fairly sure most brought their own water on board...kinda explains all really. Good luck in your new ventures....

[@BeccaIrene]

LOL that’s probably about right 😂 Thank you so much 😊

[@mikeypatterson7966]

United pays their flight attendants pretty well, about 35 an hour. If you are looking to gain experience, a lower paying position might benefit you, but if you want to continue your career as a flight attendant, set higher standards for yourself. UA flight attendants ranks 4 out of 5 stars on Indeed. You could also sell cruises working from home as a comission based employee and set your own schedule and you could earn bigger earnings and enjoy the benefits of both professions at once, or something similar for extra cash. I worked for an airline and they really need to find a way to pay employees better for the amount of customer service they deal with day to day. A single flight segment really does not make a lot of revenue and the airline has to pay for fuel costs, also. So there is a lot to balance on the budget.

[@ljclay02]

Why should we not drink the coffee or tea on a flight?! 😏 I believe you mentioned this in one of your other videos.

[@BeccaIrene]

Haha just Google “coffee and tea on airplanes” 😉

[@ljclay02]

Thank you! I just googled it...😳

[@sarahnorment]

@@BeccaIrene should we avoid the ice, as well?

[@elliediya]

I dont sleep and have a lot of energy

[@urfvgsgame]

I'm excited to become a flight attendant even despite the cons. I'm a 15 y/o sophomore in high school that's on a varsity swim team and have begun my first year of foreign language and will be taking classes online so I can progress faster and do all four years of it. I've also recently signed up for hospitality and travel-class. I am a little rusty on my infant, child, and adult CPR but have summer classes ready once the school year is out. If anyone else has any recommendations for classes or ways I should prepare please let me know!!

[@JohnnyChablis]

So, after watching your video, and also watching the one Delta posted about employment - how, as a good looking 50 year old man, do I enter into this for the training? I've enjoyed serving in restaurants for 11 years. Plus, I've flown A LOT all over Asia, Europe and The United states ever since I was two years old.

[@TheManiacc45]

The pay doesn’t seem it’s worth it at all. I heard that FA only get paid from the time the door closes. Which is crap for the amount of rules, time and money you have to put into it

[@jay53648]

Thanks for elaborating this so well from your perspective! And for being honest from your perspective.

[@abilea4081]

I am always suprised at the low salaries tbh it was a dealbreaker for me when deciding a career path

[@ash-gw7es]

Lea Maree keep in mind that the more experience you get, the more you make.

[@abilea4081]

@@ash-gw7es yeah true, but at least in Australia it normally wont go much further than 60k and starts at 40k which just isnt enough to get by in Sydney

[@tanikabotha6132]

Studying next year for being a flight attended and I'm so excited i really don't care about the cons i just want to see the world

[@tanikabotha6132]

I'm from South Africa so anywhere out of here is fine for me

[@katiepatton3166]

Lol the “just no bombs” and the movie crew parts killed me😂 also such a good video thank you so much

[@ritjmo]

I am a nurse in a pretty specialized area and was surprised how similar the jobs can be. On a more general scale I could relate to every one of these! Cool video :)

[@sbskolte]

minus the pay because nurses make great money and do so much to help keep us all healthy! wish I knew more when choosing college majors. business management degree has gotten me monotonous low paying jobs for 10 years and now I'm contemplating becoming a flight attendant for 22,000/year starting at a regional airline. what is life lol

[@teex1270]

Is there like different categories of being a flight attendant like serving food or like showing people around correct me if I’m wrong ❤️

[@highvidsgaming4026]

I was considering doing this but now that I think about it if my school uniform bothers me there's heck no way I could deal with it

[@juliagritzbach]

I love your energy!

[@lidethiopian4511]

One thing I love is u r so so right working in the airline ...... "I become the worst not the better " so try that's z feeling I have .......

[@journeytopeace875]

I think these depend of your personal preference and what you can or cannot handle also the airline you work for it also a factor on your experience🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️ but thank you for the insight on your experience tho.

[@hewonyew]

I bet you are FUN on a layover!

[@vanessahuang2593]

I received an FA offer recently, I actually went interview many times and finally got the job and have been thinking of the pros and cons being or continue to do my job as a Customer Service advisor

[@macintoshimann9892]

I really appreciate you sharing all this with us! Seems like a dream!

[@caleshaboston]

I’m kinda old. (30) but I wanted to be an FA since I was 18, can you still become a FA at my age? This also kinda sounds like the military (I was in the army). So rigorous training & uniform maintenance, early hours, pride & camaraderie isn’t new to me.

[@barryhavard5]

Loving your channel I am in the uk keep up the good work you're doing mighty fine😁

[@nadaammarezzatlo5792]

I love your videos content, the editing, the tips and the way your present your ideas! Way to go and keep it up!👍👍👍

[@keenancrouse174]

Hi Becca what a wonderful video of explaining the FA life . I want to became a FA as it is my dream but now that you said that the training is hard I feel a bit scared but I know I can do it .

[@mikezoeller1181]

Hi Becca, Lillie and I are watching your video which I thought was very interesting. Don't think I would care for that lifestyle either. Hope to see you soon. Love you, Uncle Mike.

[@justaleafinthewind8858]

This video was absolutely great and very informative- Thank You !!

[@iRazenrak]

I'm down for that lifestyle, BUT not the low pay. I thought starting pay was $20/hour?

[@phoenixfire4640]

was considering being an FA but the low pay won’t work for my lifestyle either

[@andygnada]

It's so different than here !!!! In Brazil we have "wallet assigned", that's it basically guarantee you that you HAVE to get paid at least the salary base of your profession AND have to know you day offs at least 15 days before, so those "cons" don't fit here Kkkkansnans BUT the "training" is BUT MORE complicated. To be a Flight Attendant here we need a course, a buch of exams to check if you are able to fly, a test that are gonna to check if you KNOW how a lot of subjects of aviation AND a training of the companie lol. So it's more complicated to be a flight attendant here.

[@ItsaVibe22]

Also I plan on spending my time at hotels exercising, running, reading/studying and socializing with others with the same mindset. Partying will not increase the value of ones life and if one has such a great opportunity to experience this life style, I think night clubbing it up would be no better than doing the same back home.

[@BillDerBerg]

Before the hijacking because of my FBI security pass I used to bring knives, screwdrivers and box cutters through security because I needed them to work in my office in the terminal.

[@ughhhmcrbinch5583]

No matter where you’re going you can pack food. I flew two flights to get to Germany and one was to another state in the U.S. I brought food in my bag and on the plane.

[@sabrinamoniquechaparro9654]

In your opinion is it possible to be a flight attendant while attempting to get your masters degree online? I am like you I do not intend on doing it for years but would love the experience.
