Every day, aspring flight attendants ask me to describe some of the benefits of a flight attendant career. I've outlined below what I think are ten of the most appealing aspects of the profession.
• Enjoy a great deal of time off (13 to 17 days off per month; roughly 6 months off per year!) • Get free or reduced-cost travel benefits for yourself and immediate family, covering air travel, lodging, car-rentals, and cruises • Get a lucrative benefits package, often including health and life insurance, credit union membership, employee stock options, and a 401(k) retirement plan • Enjoy unmatched variety - Forget the predictability of 9 to 5 cube life! • Enjoy maximum scheduling flexibility - You're not limited to weekends off like the rest of the world! • Meet new people, including many celebrities • See the world • Feel more independent • Feel more responsible
Feel a sense of pride and accomplishment (especially when you help an unaccompanied minor or handicapped passenger safely reach their destination).
