How do you become a flight attendant? What's the salary? Training? School?

Question

I'm 18 getting ready to graduate high school. I really have no desire to do any further schooling, it's not that I'm dumb or anything, it's just school is just not my thing. I love flying as well as traveling. What's the deal with flight attendants? How much do they make? How much do you work? Anything I should know? Thanks!

Answer 2

Apply for a job with one of the major airlines... they usually have open house interview sessions if they're hiring. Once you are selected, you will be trained by your airline in a 3-6 week specifically structured, FAA  training program that is security sensitive and cannot be duplicated elsewhere

Flight Attendant income varies from airline to airline. The pay ranges from about $13.00-$40.00 per flight hour or more. Most airlines have in place a monthly guarantee which ranges between 65-80 flight hours. The Flight Attendant is paid the guarantee whether he/she actually works those hours or not. Most new hire flight attendants will earn between $16,000-23,000 and may eventually earn up to $75,000 per year.   Actual pay per hour is dependent upon years of service and any special qualifications the Flight Attendant may have on board the aircraft.  Flight Attendants also receive a special per diem for each hour spent away from home. This per diem is in place to cover meals and other expenses. With each year of service comes an increase in salary.
