Choosing the right Flight Attendant Preparation Program is the most important decision you can make. Only a handful of organizations in the US offer programs to help flight attendants get hired and then pass their airline training. Programs vary a lot, both in price and in the scope of what they teach.
Things to watch out for:
Accreditation: Only programs 300 hours or longer can receive accreditation from the US Department of Education, and you don't need a 300 hour program to prepare you for becoming a Flight Attendant. Being accredited by the Better Business Bureau is NOT the same thing.
Online Only Programs: There are some serious downsides to online only programs. There are some things that simply cannot be learned online and need to be experienced hands-on, like fire suppression training, emergency evacuation drills, emergency equipment safety briefing demonstrations and the bonding, camaraderie, peer support and networking that develops when you are in an in-class setting. Our experience has shown that in-person classes far better prepare you for your future career.
Certification: Only an airline can FAA certify your airline training - and that's the only certification that counts.
Guaranteed Employment Money Back Guarantees: If a program is offering a money back guarantee, look at the fine print very closely. If something looks too good to be true, it usually is. : Be wary of any program guaranteeing you a job. Only the airline can hire you.
Confusing price structures: You should be able to know what you will be paying up front, in easy to understand language.

Use of Stock photos: Most websites use some stock photos, including ours. But some use them to make it look like they have equipment they actually don't have. Query any school to make sure they really have the equipment they appear to have. What you see in our videos and Gallery photos is what you get!
Triad Aviation Academy prides itself on being honest and transparent on our website, in our advertising and in all we do. Integrity is very important to us!
Length of Program: Any program longer than 4 or 5 days is overkill and will be teaching you more than you need to know to get a job as a flight attendant and prepare you to go on to your airline's training.

Current Flight Attendants on Staff: Having current Flight Attendants on Staff ensures the training can be kept up to date with the latest industry changes. You should ask.

Quick Facts: Flight Attendants

Flight attendants provide routine services and respond to emergencies to ensure the safety and comfort of airline passengers.

Flight attendants have variable work schedules, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, because airlines operate every day and some offer overnight flights. Attendants work in an aircraft and may be away from home several nights per week.

Flight attendants typically receive on-the-job training from their employer and must be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The median annual wage for flight attendants was $59,050 in May 2020.

Employment of flight attendants is projected to grow 30 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations.

About 17,600 openings for flight attendants are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.

Flight attendants provide routine services and respond to emergencies to ensure the safety and comfort of airline passengers.

Duties

Flight attendants typically do the following:

Participate in preflight briefings with the pilots, to discuss cabin conditions and flight details

Conduct preflight inspections of emergency equipment

Demonstrate the use of safety equipment and emergency equipment

Ensure that passengers have their seatbelts fastened when required and that all other safety requirements are observed

Serve and sell beverages, meals, or snacks

Take care of passengers' needs, particularly those with special needs

Reassure passengers during the flight, such as when the aircraft hits turbulence

Administer and coordinate emergency medical care, as needed

Provide direction to passengers, including how to evacuate the aircraft in an emergency

Airlines are required by law to provide flight attendants for the safety and security of passengers. The primary job of flight attendants is to keep passengers safe, ensuring that everyone follows security regulations and that the flight deck is secure. Flight attendants also try to make flights comfortable and stress free for passengers. At times, they may deal with passengers who display disruptive behavior.

About 1 hour before takeoff, the captain (pilot) may conduct a preflight briefing with flight attendants about relevant flight information, including the number of hours the flight will take, the route the plane will travel, and weather conditions. Flight attendants check that emergency equipment is working, the cabin is clean, and there is an adequate supply of food and beverages on board. Flight attendants greet passengers as they board the aircraft, direct them to their seats, and provide assistance as needed.

Flight attendants demonstrate the proper use of safety equipment to all passengers, either in person or through a video recording before the plane takes off. They also check that seatbelts are fastened, seats are locked in the upright position, and all carry-on items are properly stowed in accordance with federal law and company policy.

A flight attendant's most important responsibility, however, is to help passengers in the event of an emergency. This responsibility ranges from dealing with unruly passengers to performing first aid, fighting fires, protecting the flight deck, and directing evacuations. Flight attendants also answer questions about the flight, attend to passengers with special needs, and generally assist all passengers as needed.

Before the plane lands, flight attendants once again ensure that seatbelts are fastened, seats are locked in the upright position, and all carry-on and galley items are properly stowed.

Before they leave the plane, flight attendants survey the condition of the cabin. They submit reports on any medical, safety, or security issues that may have occurred during the flight.

Flight attendants held about 102,500 jobs in 2020. The largest employers of flight attendants were as follows:

Scheduled air transportation

95%

Nonscheduled air transportation

2

Support activities for air transportation

1

Flight attendants work primarily in the cabin of passenger aircraft. Dealing directly with passengers and standing for long periods can be stressful and tiring. Occasionally, flights encounter air turbulence, which can make providing service more difficult and causes anxiety in some passengers. Handling emergencies and unruly customers also can be difficult and cause stress.

Flight attendants spend many nights away from home and often sleep in hotels or apartments shared by a group of flight attendants.

Injuries and Illnesses

Flight attendants have one of the highest rates of injuries and illnesses of all occupations. To avoid injuries, these workers must follow safety procedures. For example, they must ensure that overhead compartments are closed, especially during turbulence, so that carry-on items don't fall and present a risk to all in the cabin. Attendants also ensure that carts are properly stowed and latched during aircraft emergencies to avoid injuries to passengers and themselves.

Work Schedules

Flight attendants usually have variable schedules. They often work nights, weekends, and holidays because airlines operate every day and have overnight flights. In most cases, a contract between the airline and the flight attendant union determines the total daily and monthly workable hours. A typical on-duty shift is about 12 to 14 hours per day. However, duty time can be increased for international flights. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that flight attendants receive at least 9 consecutive hours of rest following any duty period before starting their next duty period.

Attendants usually fly 75 to 100 hours a month and generally spend another 50 hours a month on the ground, preparing flights, writing reports, and waiting for aircraft to arrive. They can spend several nights a week away from home. During this time, employers typically arrange hotel accommodations and a meal allowance. Some flight attendents work part time.

An attendant's assignments of home base and route are based on seniority. New flight attendants must be flexible with their schedule and location. Almost all flight attendants start out working on call, also known as reserve status. Flight attendants on reserve usually live near their home airport, because they may have to report to work on short notice.

As they earn more seniority, attendants may have more control over their schedules. For example, some senior flight attendants may choose to live outside their home base and commute to work. Others may choose to work only on regional flights. On small corporate airlines, flight attendants may work on an as-needed basis.

Flight attendants receive training from their employer and must be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Flight attendants need a high school diploma or the equivalent and work experience in customer service.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, be eligible to work in the United States, have a valid passport, and pass a background check and drug test. They must have vision that is correctable to at least 20/40 and often need to conform to height requirements set by the airline. Flight attendants also may have to pass a medical evaluation.

Flight attendants should present a professional appearance and not have visible tattoos, body piercings, or an unusual hairstyle or makeup.

Education

A high school diploma is typically required to become a flight attendant. Some airlines may prefer to hire applicants who have taken some college courses.

Those who work on international flights may have to be fluent in a foreign language. Some enroll in flight attendant academies.

Work Experience in a Related Occupation

Flight attendants typically need 1 or 2 years of work experience in a service occupation before getting their first job as a flight attendant. This experience may include customer service positions in restaurants, hotels, or resorts. Experience in sales or in other positions that require close contact with the public and focus on service to customers also may help develop the skills needed to be a successful flight attendant.

Training

Once a flight attendant is hired, airlines provide their initial training, ranging from 3 to 6 weeks. The training usually takes place at the airline's flight training center and is required for FAA certification.

Trainees learn emergency procedures such as evacuating aircraft, operating emergency equipment, and administering first aid. They also receive specific instruction on flight regulations, company operations, and job duties.

Toward the end of the training, students go on practice flights. They must complete the training to keep a job with the airline. Once they have passed initial training, new flight attendants receive the FAA Certificate of Demonstrated Proficiency and continue to receive additional on the job training as required by their employer.

Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations

All flight attendants must be certified by the FAA. To become certified, flight attendants must complete their employer's initial training program and pass an exam. Flight attendants are certified for specific types of aircraft and must take new training for each type of aircraft on which they are to work. In addition, attendants receive recurrent training every year to maintain their certification.

Advancement

Career advancement is based on seniority. On international flights, senior attendants frequently oversee the work of other attendants. Senior attendants may be promoted to management positions in which they are responsible for recruiting, instructing, and scheduling.

Important Qualities

Attentiveness. Flight attendants must be aware of any security or safety risks during the flight. They also must be attentive to passengers' needs in order to ensure a pleasant travel experience.

Communication skills. Flight attendants should speak clearly, listen attentively, and interact effectively with passengers and other crewmembers.

Customer-service skills. Flight attendants should have poise, tact, and resourcefulness to handle stressful situations and address passengers' needs.

Decisionmaking skills. Flight attendants must be able to act decisively in emergencies.

Physical stamina. Flight attendants push, pull, and carry service items, open and close overhead buns, and stand and walk for long periods.

Median annual wages, May 2020

The median annual wage for flight attendants was $59,050 in May 2020. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $30,930, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $84,790.

In May 2020, the median annual wages for flight attendants in the top industries in which they worked were as follows:

Scheduled air transportation

$59,220

Nonscheduled air transportation

57,320

Support activities for air transportation

48,550

Flight attendants receive an allowance for meals and accommodations while working away from home. Although attendants are required to purchase an initial set of uniforms and luggage, the airlines usually pay for replacements and upkeep. Flight attendants generally are eligible for discounted airfare or free standby seats through their airline.

Attendants typically fly 75 to 100 hours a month and usually spend another 50 hours a month on the ground, preparing flights, writing reports, and waiting for planes to arrive. They can spend several nights a week away from home. Most work variable schedules. Some flight attendants work part time.

Employment of flight attendants is projected to grow 30 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations.

About 17,600 openings for flight attendants are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.

Employment

Much of the projected employment growth in this occupation is due to recovery from the COVID-19 recession that began in 2020 and is likely to occur early in the decade. A return to normal patterns of travel following the COVID-19 pandemic will support job growth of flight attendants, who will continue to be needed to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers on flights.
