WHY FLIGHT ATTENDANT JOBS ARE AMAZING!!

I second that.. as well as a great mentor to upcoming air hostess/flight attendant in the field

[@hiimFrankDOTcom]

I've been a Flight Attendant for nearly two years now and I only got here because I put my application out EVERYWHERE! At first I was only applying to the "Big 3" (AA UA DL) and went about a year and a half of straight rejection at various stages. I wanted nothing more than to start flying and decided to just put applications out to everyone hiring. All of a sudden I got a phone interview with Frontier and the day after I passed the phone interview I got a face to face with another airline. In one day I got two face to face interviews! They might not have been airlines I thought I wanted to be at but it was a start and it would get a foot in the door. Go apply! Join us in the skies!

[@zzzzipy12]

I don’t know how it’s legal to have you work plane prep, boarding & clean-up off the clock. Your union needs to change that!

[@hbrandiss]

Customer service or receptionist experience is the key. I’m not a flight attendant but have family and friends that are flight attendants.

[@FlyWithStella]

Yes! Receptionist would be great work experience too!! 🙌💜

They're all exhaustive. I've done them all.

[@catlovestofly3976]

I was a FA 27 years ago and in 2018 2019 got a f2f with Delta and AA then COVID hit and yes I’m trying again ❤️✈️❤️ YES never give up I taught my kids to have wings now I’m trying to earn mine back! Love your video

[@nicylee]

3:40 For anyone who’s serious about becoming a flight attendant: APPLY FOR REGIONAL POSITIONS AS WELL. If the airline is large enough they will have regional airlines operating for the main airline. This is a really good way to eventually work for the mainline. (Stella and I work for the same airline so I’ve seen this happen as well.)

[@jonathanhennigan-cruisepla2057]

Hey Stella. Love your videos. I’m a 16 year flight attendant with another major carrier. Reserve is so important for new flight attendants to understand. I would love to do a collab video about how reserve may be different at other airlines.

[@martintheiss4038]

A good time to just chill out with the manager in the crew office?

[@jonathanhennigan-cruisepla2057]

Your inflight manager is a good resource, but you don’t hang out and watch the Super Bowl with them 😉

[@jonathanhennigan-cruisepla2057]

Besides they are very busy dealing with issues at the airport for the operations for that day.

[@martintheiss4038]

@@jonathanhennigan-cruisepla2057 I understand you. I am sure that this said manager's job is simply to coordinate flight operations, crew scheduling, and certainly issues like late or short organized flights on the regular basis. I am sure they cant take too much time with given crew members unless they were part of a fight, emergency, or other reportable issue. Yet, my feeling is that they are experienced cabin crew in their own right and certainly able to deal with anything that happens as cabin leaders and thats all they are supposed to be right?

[@martintheiss4038]

A good Starbucks partner will always get a good job later. I work in distribution and I don't even joke about how important it is for people like Stella to get us good flights for cargo.

[@chrisbrown8748]

I got extremely lucky so far. I have been a avid traveler my entire life and always thought about becoming a flight attendant but I really got the urge this year and decided to give it a shot. I checked American Airlines and United’s websites but neither was hiring but Delta which was #1 on my list was so I applied and was immediately put in the process and within a week I got invited to the headquarters and will have my face 2 face next month. With that said I have 16 years of customer service experience and another 8 years of security experience as a United States Marine so I’m sure that all helped along with me being a male and black so I probably check a lot of boxes for them🤣

[@fimp2295]

Some thing I wish I knew before I became a flight attendant is that our livelihoods are incredibly connected with whatever is going on in the world (ie covid, wars)

[@tonyyero7231]

Cons: unpaid work boarding/low wages/mercy of the airline/reserve/danger of job due to the nature of it/bad passengers/furlough at anytime/crash pads/commuting/base closings/long term health effects due to flying on a regular basis/no holidays/no family time/hard to plan a life/skills are useless elsewhere unless u wanna be a waiter.

You posted this at just the right time as I was contemplating working as a flight attendant As people usually go to me in airports to ask for help from my flight goer experience (though I don't work there), I assumed I seemed very approachable and to assist others while traveling sounds great to me! Thanks a bunch for posting this!

[@martintheiss4038]

Basically anyone in the airport experience needs to have great customer attitudes. I work in logistics and there are so many categories of workers its amazing. Why not open your mind a bit.

[@JohnAckerman31]

I’m 27, and for some odd reason I can’t explain I would like to be a flight attendant. I work in a grocery store, and I have seen people wearing an American or United Airlines uniform.

[@pamcooke61]

I can’t believe that the airlines don’t consider greeting the passengers and helping them get settled as “working”? That’s so strange. You are working and making the passengers comfortable and ready to enjoy their flight experience with the airline. That would be a really important thing to consider when thinking about applying

I am a 14 year fa and I have to say it is true the salary is low especially in the beginning but after you get seniority the pay goes up and like Stella said it is very flexible so you can pick up a lot of hours and make money.Most airlines give what is like overtime every airline is different but after a certain amount of hours worked in a month you can get time in a half or double time depending on the airline.And with most airlines there are ways to make more money.At least with mine it’s easy make more

[@BookSuburbia]

at one point, I wanted. Dreamed about it. Then a plane crashed in a volcano close to where I was living at the time and Ive been scared shitless to fly ever since. Last year for the pandemic, I watched all seasons of Air Disasters, (in my mind cause I wanted to overcome this fear) and that sucked me into the mother of all rabbit holes. It sounds really fun, but its def not for everybody. Some people can't overcome fears that easy 😞

[@TheTiggerpoo1]

What about all the current passenger rage incidents?? Doesn't that add significant stress to your job?? Plus danger

yes but the customer will face some serious federal charges and most likely be put on the "no fly" list. What i really hate about it was when people were being deboarded because of January 6 postings they thought that it was a freedom of speech event. No, you tried to destroy American democracy.

I think they both like it. You have to like having a separate life away from your spouse.

[@mnmom1232]

Here is what you really need to know. I was a flight attendant. You make no money for many years. They look to hire women like Stella that are married and have spouses that make good money. They know these women will stay because they don’t have to worry about their income. The job is really boring except when you get to stay in fun places for a period of time which doesn’t always happen. For the first several years you will have the worst schedule and get the worst trips. Until you have enough seniority you will hate it. You only get paid from the time the doors close on the plane to the time they open. That’s it. When I was a flight attendant I made $16 an hour. I was lucky if I had 30 hours on a paycheck.

[@JustGladys68]

Yeah. Flight attendants is not my lifestyle but I love watch fa KZbinrs. Not ready to wake up crack of dawn or only work 40 hours for the month. I’ll see ya in ya vlogs, I’m good 🙂

[@wadew4091]

That was just an example. She did say you work as little as you want or as much as you want. That's the flexibility we have. At the airline I work for some FA work minimum hours which is around 35 to 75hrs a month while some work max hrs which is around 75 to over 150+ hrs. With more seniority you gain you have more control of your schedule. 40hrs as a flight attendant is not the same as a 40hrs 9 to 5. For example so far this month I've worked 66hrs but at this point I'll be paid for 108hrs because of how trips are credited. You may have a trip that's blocked for 5 hrs but based on several factors ....the trip is credited at 8hrs...

[@aairsick]

[@carschmn]

What’s the reasoning (other than the obvious “to save the airline money” or i”t’s always been done that way”) for not paying you guys for the stuff after you check in to the airport but before the door is shut? In most other jobs, if an employer refused to pay for things like opening the store or making sure the equipment was working properly before starting production, it would be wage theft. It’s similar to courier work where you’re not paid if you’re not carrying someone / something but should really be closer to transport work / bus driver where they are paid once they clock in.

I was a flight attendant for 30 years. You will have a life vest on when in the pool. You jump in the water and swim to an inflated raft of which you must climb into. It's awkward but fun.
