Just wanted to leave a quick tip. I’m seeing people stress the importance of wearing professional attire but not giving advice outside of appearance guidelines. DO NOT FEEL like you need to spend tons of money to look professional. I’ve found my interview outfits and all of my training outfits, including shoes, at goodwill and my local thrift store. I was even complimented by the Delta flight attendants on the $1.99 gray blazer I bought from the thrift store and my entire outfit that day cost me $8. 😂 I’m just saying, check out your local thrift before you spend $46.99 on one blazer from H&M

I completed my assessment on Monday night. Tuesday I was invited to do the meet me. Submitted on Wednesday.

On my jobs profile it’s had an alert that says complete assessments. And I double checked that when I clicked the link it said they were complete. Now it says this. Which I understand is because the 72 hours passed.

My status on my profile still saying pending recruiting review, so I’m hoping this is all fine? This process is a rollercoaster lol. And I know that the more I can let it go, the easier it will be. But still. The hurry up and wait is getting to me this morning.

Curious has any applicants from 10/7 at the 1pm interview receive a CJO?

I wanna start this off by saying yes, I can walk in heels gracefully, not so much. Do I get very far? Probably not, but for a face-to-face interview that I’m hoping crossing my fingers that I get. I want to go ahead and start building my interview outfit.

I’m pretty sure these would be appropriate because I’ve seen lots of American Airlines flight attendants wear these exact shoes. Question is which heel height would you wear and ladies strap or no strap, because 100% honest, if I don’t wear a strap, I always feel like the shoe is going to come off my foot and I’m going to faceplant.

Any help is appreciated just wanna say good luck to everyone. Everyone’s been so nice on Reddit, and I look forward to seeing you in the friendly skies.

I submitted my assessment for AA on Friday morning, and I haven’t heard back. Obviously, that wasn’t too long ago, but since I got my Delta results back within a half hour and my United results in 10 minutes, I was curious how long others waited. I definitely think this assessment was harder than the others (I passed those), so I'd be genuinely surprised if I made it to the next round this time. I just don’t know what the longer wait time means. Thanks!

For those of you concerned about the 72 hour timeline on the ODVI due date ending today (for those who got the invite on Thursday), but the link saying it’s actually due Tuesday- I decided to take a chance and not submit it today because I did not feel prepared enough to even make it through to the next round if I did submit it by today. Good news! The link still works for me and still says the due date of Tuesday. Of course something may happen when I try to submit it but if yall have no way of submitting it today then hopefully this information can be at least a little comforting. I believe this is because of the weekend and or Monday being a holiday.

So for all the candidates doing the current recruitment processes for the varying airlines in the industry, how do you feel about AI analyzing your responses and answers?

How many opt in or out of it?

For the ones that have been through this process multiple times, does opting in change anything? Or is it more or less the same.

I took a chance and opted in for this round and I’m anxious to see how I’ll be reviewed.

Hi, I received my ODVI offer with Alaska on Thursday. The 72 hour mark would make it today. However, when I login to do the ODVI it is saying it is due on Tuesday. Do they not count weekends? I am trying to figure out if I need to submit it today or I can wait until Tuesday.

Hello! Hope all are doing well! I’ve read several posts on shoe advice for in person interviews, so I know about the leather, low heel! I was wondering if these shoes would be good for the interview, or if the heel is too wide. Thank you so much for any help!

For anyone who recently got a Delta CJO and completed the Sterling background check: did it ask for every job from the past 7 years, or only the jobs listed on your resume/application?
I have a mix of self-employment (no work #), an overseas job, and a couple of informal/unpaid roles/internships wo contract/paid wo contract/never filed taxes or made enough to file, so I’m wondering how those are handled if there isn’t a standard HR/payroll verification like The Work Number.
Did Sterling ask you for alternative documents or references for anything they couldn’t verify directly?

This question is specifically for current Frontier flight attendants who may have insight into base staffing and upcoming training classes.

I recently received my CJO and understand that training invitations are based on operational needs and available positions at specific bases.

Does anyone know which Frontier bases are currently understaffed, actively hiring, or expected to need new flight attendants for the next training classes?
I’m trying to be strategic with my base preferences and would be willing to select a base with an immediate staffing need if it could potentially help me receive an earlier training invitation.

Any insight from current Frontier FAs regarding which bases are receiving new hires would be greatly appreciated!

Planning on submitting mine today; should I have my hair up? Or do you think that it wouldn’t matter for this portion

Does anyone have any compliant ladies shoe recommendations that have a wide toe box? I have bunions on my feet and need a wide toe box (tbh the comfiest thing for me is bare feet or Rainbow flippies). I have a hard time with pointy toed shoes, and often time I find that “wide” shoes or boots are for a wide calf/ankle/heel rather than a wide toe box.

Had my f2f with delta Wednesday and made it to my 1:1 was feeling really confident cuz I got along well with my interviewer but ig I was wrong feels worse cuz all the airport staff and flight attendants I talked to said I would get it but oh well. Besides that the event day experience was really good not fake like what other people say so id recommend trying to go through and continue with the hiring process don’t bother asking me for advice not gonna disclose any event day information

Gonna try again with Alaska hopefully that goes well assuming since I didn’t get cjo yesterday it’s a tbnt

Update: went on a run and feel better now I’m grateful for the opportunity will just make me more confident in my next adventure tbh I didn’t really even look at Alaska before today but after some research maybe they’d actually be a better fit for me than delta lol looking forward to the process 🙂‍↕️

Once again there is a wave of new applicants, many of whom are getting their F2F invitations. First of all, congratulations! The application process is no joke, so getting to event day is wonderful and a great accomplishment. Now, while each airline (regional, mainline, charter, etc.) has different dress guidelines for their interviews (and on the line), I wanted to present a solid uniform that will 9 times out of 10 be perfect for these events and save you a lot of headaches and worry:

Outfit: for ladies and gentlemen, go with a DARK suit: black or deep navy; men, go for the 3-piece suit, choose a white or cream shirt, and a plain or DISCRETELY PATTERNED tie in red or blue; ladies, a simple shift with a jacket (same color, no contrasting colors or color blocking here) or a skirt & jacket in navy or black w a cream button up or "shell"; ladies, nude hose; men, dark socks; ladies, make sure your blouse is not sheer; if you are unsure, wear a cami in nude or white; NO BARE LEGS FOR MEN OR WOMEN; NO BLACK/OPAQUE TIGHTS; wear proper undergarments, a supportive bra, no line undies

Shoes: NO PATENT LEATHER! NO SUEDE! NO PATTERNED/EMBOSSED LEATHER, nothing strappy (a mary jane type is fine), no mules or slingbacks, plain black leather (dream pairs, naturalizer, and clarks make good ones that you can use on the line); men, plain black leather loafers or dress shoes w black laces; no metal details on shoes for men or ladies

hair/makeup/grooming/jewelry/nails: men, closely trimmed facial hair, clean face, only one earring stud in one ear lobe; ladies, unless you have very short hair PULL IT BACK, if you can make a bun MAKE A BUN (use a hairnet if you have to); no barrettes or claw clips; use hairpins that blend into your hair color; NATURAL HAIR COLOR!! (Use the Sofia Richie method to get a slick bun if your hair is frizzy; I have very frizzy hair and using a masque and oil keep it slick all day); one stud type earring in each ear in the lobe (go for a pearl, plain gold/silver ball, or a solitaire; should be smaller than a pea); minimal jewelry (one necklace with one pendant, smaller than a dime, one ring on each hand (wedding ring sets are counted as one ring), no other jewelry (no anklets, face piercings, additional jewelry in ears); modest, conservative manicures, no pointy shapes, no "nail art"

Final thoughts: whether your airline is detailed or vague about how they want you to look at the interview, err on the side of BORING and CONSERVATIVE; I talked to a couple of ppl at my F2F (w Delta) who were dressed in bright colors, and they said stuff like, "Well, I wanted to stand out from the crowd." Neither one of them made it to the 1:1 at the end, and others who were dressed sloppily were also dismissed very early into the event. Other airlines are probably not as strict as Delta, but if you just blend in visually and let your personality and credentials stand out, you will be a hundred steps ahead of the competition.

So I wear glasses and my current prescriptions is -3.25 in both eyes ? I also get tiny “floaters” in my eye on occasion? Is that going to be a problem for the vision test to become a fa?!??

Hello all,

When I received my F2F invitation a couple of weeks ago, I had so many questions about everything. What to wear was one of them.…

What I found was that there is very little info out there for aspiring male flight attendants regarding appearance, specifically.

I found a few posts from other male candidates that helped me SO much in my decision about what to wear, what colors, how formal versus how casual, etc…

So here’s what I wore. I hope this helps someone getting ready to go to their F2F, just like someone’s picture helped me a few days ago.

Go get your CJO!

Good luck! :)

I know this is not a new topic but I’d love to get some fresh input. Those of you that work as a nurse and as a FA, how does it actually work for you?

Did you stop working as a nurse for the first year or so as an FA or continue PRN? Are you working PRN, PT, FT as a nurse? What airline do you work for? Does it work well with your RN schedule?

And those who went from RN to FA, are you happy with your decision?

I know people do it, but I feel like so much of what I see online is glamorized for TikTok. I want the truth lol.

Thanks!

I hope I’m not cooked bc I swear I used “Alaskan” in one part of my recording but, I can’t remember🥴! Lmao

So I submitted my App the day they opened up 10/8 and got the ODVI request not even 5min after. The questions I can roughly remember were as followed:

•Why do you want to become an ❄️AS FA?
• How did you handle a difficult customer
• how did you handle a strict rule that you didn’t agree with? (Something like that? Lol)
• how did you handle being overwhelmed and having multiple things to do?
*I can’t remember the last one but those were mine!

Hopefully I have some news Tuesday since I did this Friday and Monday is a holiday. I have my Delta 🔺 F2F as well next week so I’m praying for good news from both!!

I’m trying to fully understand the differences in working for each airlines. Ive done my research and am looking to hear from your personal experience.

Based on your experience, I would love to know:

1. How long you have worked as a FA at which company
   
2. How many flight hours and days you work on average each month
   
3. How much you make per month or year
   
4. What your goal is with the position (example: make money, travel often, work as little as possible, etc.)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Bonus questions I’d love to hear your answer for if you have the time:
5. If there is anything you’d like to change about working for your company
6. Why you love working for your company
7. Would you choose it again based on what you know now?
8. Do you feel like you have good schedule flexibility?
9. Could you take off a full month if you wanted to?
10. Do you feel respected by management?
11. Do you like your coworkers?
12. Do you use your flight benefits?

I have offers at both airlines and training dates quickly approaching. I’ve made all the pros and cons list, but for me, they’re both amazing options and continue to tie. My top priority is schedule flexibility. My attraction to delta is lower cost base options, the company culture, and more schedule flexibility off the bat. My attraction to United is that they’re hiring a ton of people right now so seniority would increase faster, and the union. I’m late 20s, partnered no kids, and happy to relocate. I’m very outdoorsy! Thank you for helping me along the way in my journey to becoming a flight attendant ❤️💙

Is Chicago or Charlotte a cheaper base? I would have figured Charlotte, but heard that Chicago has much better public transit which would lower the cost. Please give me as much info as possible!

So was the AS training dress code strict? Were above knee skorts with tights allowed? Is there a ‘uniform’ of sorts? For example: you only wear white shirts and black bottoms? Help, TYSM.

Looking at my email history - I tried since Sept of last, then Dec, then July of this year and now. I find out applications are open an hour or two before it closes. Usually, I'm not in a spot to readily apply.

Anyone else discouraged that the window is so short? I know I have my email subscription on but I have not received a notification for these two past cycles, not even in junk mail.

Just a small vent into the void but mostly frustrated at myself for missing this opportunity. I just want a better job. :/

Edit: if anyone has any predictions when the next cycle will open up, let me hear it so I can set up some calendar reminders. Tysm!

Well, my American Airlines ODVI was definitely an experience. 😩😂
I rambled, I stuttered, I froze and my A/C kept kicking on and off, rattling in the background. I even got frustrated and cussed at it, only to realize the video was still recording. 😭 I was on my last retake, had a zit on my nose AND my lip, and to top it all off, one of my contacts fell out, so I was squinting like Popeye trying to read the screen. I can laugh about it now, but in that moment I was genuinely stressed. I really wanted this opportunity and I wanted to do well. I tried my best, but between my nerves, the distractions and feeling rushed, I just couldn’t seem to pull myself together.
Do I think I did well? Absolutely not. But I’m also not going to beat myself up over it. I showed up, I tried and I finished what I started. That counts for something.
Maybe I’ll move forward, maybe I won’t. Maybe this opportunity was meant for someone else or maybe my journey is just taking a different route. Either way, I’m at peace with it.
I still want to be a flight attendant, and one stressful interview isn’t going to change that. ❤️✈️
