How To Become A Flight Attendant

The recruiters who attend our classes are from various airlines all over the United States.  We try to rotate airlines so that we have a variety of options for our students, but we have airlines who regularly enjoy attending and hiring from our class.

Flight attendant salaries can vary from airline to airline; national and major airlines usually have a higher pay scale than regional carriers.  You can expect to earn anywhere from $18,000 to $25,000 your first year, with an added $5,000 - 8,000 for per diem or expense money.  After your first year, the pay rapidly increases and after 10 years you can make up to $50,000 at some airlines.  There are other things, too, that can get you more pay, including flying senior or lead flight attendant, international flying and simply working more hours.  You get guarantee pay for the first 65 - 75 hours and any flying time after that is at a higher level.

While you must earn enough to make a living, working as a flight attendant is not something you do for the money - you do it for the adventure!  As time goes on and your seniority increases, you may even be able to fly less and still earn a full-time salary.  And with all the free travel you will benefit from, it’s as though you are making more money because you don’t have to spend as much for traveling as you normally would.

Our class is not just 3 days – there is a study guide you will get before class that requires 2 full weeks of home study.  Many people have seen companies who advertise Flight Attendant training and their courses last for 12 weeks or more.  These companies are probably good for those who aspire to be travel agents or airline reservations agents, but have very little in the way of flight attendant preparation and are taught by travel agents - YOU DON’T WANT A TRAVEL AGENT TRAINING YOU TO BE A FLIGHT ATTENDANT!  These companies typically tell callers that airlines want you to be cross-trained – not true!  Airlines are more concerned about your customer service experience than whether or not you know how to book a reservation or a cruise!  Flight Attendants do not do reservations or cruises, and you are wasting your money (usually $5,000 - $7,000) paying for these things. 

Get training from the Flight Attendant experts - all of our flight attendants have had years of experience and we are in contact with airlines on a daily basis.  We are also members in good standing of the Better Business Bureau.  Don’t be fooled - come to the best of the best to learn properly.
