Becoming a Flight Attendant

[brentdd]

All of the salary questions are answered with hourly rates and minimum flight times, but what can one expect to receive on an annual basis as a new FA?

Hello! I have always been interested in becoming a flight attendant. After reading this Q&A it seems as though in order to be a flight attendant, you have to live in one of the cities that has a base (Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, etc). Is that just while you are in the probationary period? Or would I have to permanently relocate to a city where there is a base? I live in Amarillo, TX and we have a Southwest Airport here in town, so I always assumed I could work from here.

Sorry, but with hundreds of planes parked due to the virus, and passenger loads down by 95%, IMO no airline will be hiring any flight crew for a very long time.

Hello,

Im interested in how is being a SWA flight attendant.

1)What is seniority and how is determined?

2)When can a flight attendant pick up shifts to make  its own work schedule?

Thanks

I wanna become a flight attendant but I have some questions .

I'm from a different country (Venezuela) and i have a protection from USA called Asylum , i can travel around the USA  my passport is expired and mi visa is still valid, how would that affect me on the way to become a flight attendant because is a really hard task to renew my passport, I was wondering if work permit would work as a document for me to be able to be a flight attendant or my visa, thank you.

I'd suggest that you read the second post in this thread -the one from franktravel.

It's  contains lots of information   about FA requirements.

Good luck
