What's The Best Airline To Work For? || Flight Attendant Vlog

"What airline should I apply to?" "What is the best airline to work for?" Are some the questions I get asked the most as a flight attendant. The travel and airline industry is huge with so many options I can see how that can be an intimidating choice to make. In this vlog I give my best answer for what airline to work for while taking y'all on my Miami layover. Enjoy!

Delta (You start off with only 6 reserve days a month) and Southwest (Can rack up extra hours from your base credit) make the most money and the companies are strong fiscally and are a great place to work like JetBlue.

[@MrAmmo2021]

Glad your flight down was easy. It's nice that you're telling everyone what they should look for in an airline. Definitely not a common job most people know alot about

[@BalancedFlyer]

That’s true!

[@megelsey2405]

Yes! Great advice! All about the good vibes & values for an airline. It’s literally how I connected to the airline I fly for as well 😊

I’m a Nurse totally burnt out and thinking about becoming a flight attendant just for a change. I will still maintain my Nursing license because I worked so hard for it. I just can’t do it Day to day anymore. I’m considering JetBlue or Southwest. I’m from Connecticut born and raised. So I know what you mean about the weather and getting dark by 5:30pm in the Fall & winter. I love Connecticut , but I don’t love the weather. 😂 Lol! Moved to South Florida last year and I love it!

[@dreeasmithh]

I love this video! It's a cute little vlog and great tips. I only clicked on your video because I saw you were wearing the JetBlue uniform! Literally the cutest uniform in the industry haha. I'm waiting to hear back from them about my virtual interview...hopefully I'll be off to training soon. Maybe I'll see you in the sky!! Thanks for the tips :)

[@joekhatib3798]

What an interesting question young lady, my Cousin Lisa would say Delta since that is her employer but I guess it depends on your base and benefits and so on. She lives in the Atlanta area and would probably never relocate out of a base in the South. The South is where our families heart lies. Stay safe Vera. ✈️ ✌️👍

Hi Vera! I know this vlog is like over a year later from the time you've uploaded this video (and somehow I am not seeing your vlogs appear on my page lately somehow) - but anyways, it was meant to be, because I watched a recently uploaded vlog some moments ago and then this one appeared... very wordy sentence I know lol 🤦🏻🤣🤗🙇‍♂️ I really appreciate you and I really needed to see this vlog and the West Palm Beach vlog where you had than 17hr + duty day - my goodness what a day that must have been! I really needed these two vlogs to put me back on track. I really needed to be reminded - going back to basics 101 (for me) which is post-grad PHD (for you) learning and I appreciate you so much. I am going through it (right now) like I have been put through THE test lately and I needed this so much. Thank YOU very very much for your time and effort - it's been a real blessing for me to watch these vlogs today. I appreciate you. Happy Flying Always! - Michael 🤗🙇‍♂️✨🙏☺️

The most popular event in Fort Worth, TX is the stockyards where you see live cattle. Being from Dallas, Texas, I love pork rinds since I was a kid (my late father (country boy) would buy them for me when he went to the liquor store). Same reason as you, I did not become an airport employee for the money (there was a time where no one in the Department of Aviation at Dallas Love Field airport was getting raises (for several years) because of the City of Dallas budget problems in the 1990s; I chose to work for the Department because of the excitement working around aircraft activity, job security, health insurance and pension (which I get since I am retired). Someone asked me would I work at an airport again knowing the challenges of the work schedule and little pay; my answer is YES!!!!!!!! because I am able to retire at an early age. People react strangely when I tell them I am retired.

[@BalancedFlyer]

I went to the stockyards! It’ll be in my next vlog.

[@BalancedFlyer]

I’ve thought about it!

[@Johnny847]

I personally think the 3 legacy carriers are the most difficult in hiring. Delta is especially difficult. On the other hand, Spirit is relatively easier in hiring. I think it is important to point out that one must live within 50 miles of their base. If they even get that city as a base, when they start working.

[@kimmiehyun-gv8ng]

Hi my lovely Vera, I just love who you are & what you stand for, your so so inspirational. Such a pity you didn't have longer to enjoy Miami as you haven't been there for a while. I suffer from restless leg syndrome & wonder if legs up the wall would help so I'm going to try it. Like you I hate the darkness & drearyness of winter time so I'm right there with you.

I love Jet Blue. Only domestic airlines I’ve flown for over 10 years. They stopped flying from Charlotte NC 😥😭. I had to fly AA in May & it was horrible. I have to fly AA again in 2.5 weeks and we are dreading it. Vera, tell your company to go back to direct flights from clt to any of the NY airports. 🙂

[@BalancedFlyer]

Hi Terri! Jetblue still flys in and out of CLT but only to Boston right now. Hopefully NY will come back!

[@rae2338]

Hey Vera. Thanks so much for your insightful video. I have, I think, a unique situation. I’m doing extensive research and looking at when airlines are hiring. I’ve heard that the time between interview , training etc can be a few months. I’m a teacher looking to completely shift gears. Would it make sense to apply now ? I’m concerned about getting called for an interview etc while school is in session… (😩) Any insight would be greatly appreciated ❤️

It’s never last minute they would give you time to plan ahead for your interview! But yes it can be quick or it can be a months long process all depends!
