Pros

Excellent work-life balance; flexible schedule-flexibility gets better over time with seniority; paid to fly around taking care of people and getting them where they want to go safely; benefits are outstanding

Cons

Lonely nights in hotels; first few years on reserve/standby can be challenging, although totally worth it; working all major holidays the first few years most likely

Thank you so much for sharing your insights. Being a flight attendant sounds fun to a lot of people but it does have its challenges. And it looks like you made it work! It's that kind of positive attitude that is creating an airline people love. So glad to have you on the team. --David

Pros

The travel benefits are excellent, and the job offers opportunities to meet people from all over the world. My coworkers were supportive, teamwork was strong, and no two days were ever the same. The role helped me build confidence, improve customer service skills, and learn how to stay calm under pressure.

Cons

The schedule can be unpredictable, with long duty days, early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays away from family. The job can also be physically demanding, and dealing with difficult passengers can be stressful.
