Good morning!! I am wanting to become a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines. To be honest, I have never been on a plane but my brother, who is Marine veteran, tells me it is great fun. I do love to travel and have always wanted to be on a plane. I do have experience in customer service and interacting with different individuals from all over the world. I just need to know what the job requirements are and what the positions entails. I tried to find the information on the website but could not find the information I was looking for. I am very eager to learn. Please help!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @mikesavage7 -- We would love to see your application! Our closest base to Southern California will either be Oakland or Las Vegas. However, new Flight Attendants will be assigned a domicile location based upon availability and operational need.
@sandrachr2303 -- Thanks for your excitement! Having bilingual abilities always helps with our customer-facing roles. Although we will not have a separate application process for bilingual candidates, we would love to see your application for the general position! You can find more information about the application process here.
@tracy_thatcher -- We would love to see you back in the air! You can find more information about becoming a Flight Attendant with us here.

Is it possible to live in Southern California and be part of the Southwest team?
Also, I am 63 and am in perfect health and am looking for a total change in my career path as an accounting manager. I love helping people and think I would fit in well. We are empty-nesters. When I talk to flight attendants, the things they have in common are many years with the company and loving their jobs. Plus I am a private pilot and love to fly.
Can/should I apply? I would love working for SWA.

Mike, of course you should apply!! It's never too late to reach for your dreams 🙂
I'm not an employee (yet! lol) but as far as I know, the only age limitation is being at least 20 years old...
Good luck, and I hope to see you in training!
🙂
