Notes on employment for Flight attendants

  • Job duties are learned through intensive formal training after workers are hired.
  • Competition for positions will remain strong because the opportunity for travel attracts more applicants than there are jobs, with only the most qualified being hired.
  • Although applicants must be high school graduates or hold a GED, many airlines today prefer a college degree.
