CabinCrewCareers Rules of the Road

122 Upvotes

Hello cabin crew hopefuls and helpers!

Since we created this subreddit as a spin-off of r/flightattendants years ago to house anything recruiting related, we have very loosely moderated this page so that folks could freely ask questions and get advice about starting a career as a flight attendant. While this has served us well in the past, with the large number of airlines recruiting now the subreddit is becoming clogged with some less than desirable content.

The days of the wild west are over starting now. We are instituting three new rules to the subreddit to hopefully clean it up a bit.

  • Use the search function! You are encouraged to use the search function before posting as many many questions and advice have already been given in the past. Posts that include basic and generic questions that have already been asked many times before will be removed going forward.
  • Post and respond with helpful intent! The goal of this subreddit is to help future flight attendants land in the career they dream of. While it is not our policy to silence someone's opinion on any matter, obvious shitposting, unnecessary excessive sarcasm, and general unfriendly behavior will be removed.
  • Questions and advice requests should be specific to you! Have a question? Need advice? Ask a real question, tell us about your situation and people will do their best to help out. Generic questions about "what does this status mean" etc. will be removed. Did you just land that coveted CJO? Great! Tells us your story/timeline of how you got to that point instead of just a screenshot of the email you received.

If you come across any content that falls under these new rules, please use the Report function and a moderator will take action where appropriate. As a general reminder about reddit, the best way to police content is to upvote things you like and downvote things you don't.

Go forth and post!

I’m so excited for the opportunity:) Even if I don’t secure a CJO, I’m proud of myself for making it this far and receiving one from Skywest🤞 It’s my first time applying to airlines, and it’s been an anxiety inducing but exciting experience so far!!

Let me know any little known tips you may have! Or if you’re also interviewing that same day! Good luck to everyone in the application process right now!!

New flight attendants and flight benefits

Post image
79 Upvotes

Hey everyone, im sure some of you have gotten messages like this, but it should go without saying. ABSOLUTELY NEVER sell your flight benefits, you will lose your job, and its stupid. Anyone in this sub knows how hard it is to land these jobs in the first place and doing dumb crap like this will cost you your job. People can get any number job getting them benefits.

And also like why would you pay to fly standby when frontier, allegiant etc are not that expensive. Dumb dumb dumb.

Delta (DL) delta FA app reopening.

6 Upvotes

applied for delta back in June, received email saying that I could reapply at new application opening/6 months waived. My only concern is whether or not we’d have to redo the video submissions..

What if I was more polished and prepared the first time compared to now? 😂😂😂😂.

Anyone thinking of reapplying tomorrow?

envoy (MQ) Envoy FAs is chicago affordable on first year pay?

5 Upvotes

I am 17 years old, I graduated high school back in June and planning to apply to Envoy on my birthday (Oct 27) I wanna move from Detroit to Chicago but I don't know if I can survive alone on first year pay.

My biggest concern is whether I could afford living alone. I’d prefer a studio or 1 bedroom apartment and really don’t want roommates.

What was your first year take home pay like? Is living alone in Chicago realistic and what rent range would you consider safe on first year pay?

Is it a bad idea to pursue this career if you aren’t financially stable?

7 Upvotes

I’m in my late 20s and a ex flight attendant ( had temporary health issue I had to get through and couldn’t fly anymore but I’m 100 percent recovered and healthy now) but I have to admit I’m not financially stable at all right now. Thankfully I have no children and I have no help because I’m single. I’m at a point at my life that I do what to get my life together. I do miss flying a lot. I can see myself doing it long term. I have family in usps who think I should take time away from the industry and work there to become more financially stable. They say it’s a good career. I feel like I’m getting older and need to jump back into the industry ASAP, but I’m also torn. Any advice would be welcome😊 I do have an interview with Alaska Airlines.

It took me about 3-4 weeks to get this bad boy. I highly doubt I’ll make it into United at all, but I’ve always loved the aviation field and travel, so this is an accomplishment to me lol

Did anyone here get in their first try?

Resume Thoughts & Support

After gathering a ton of info, I decided to go with the most basic possible resume I could while highlighting key terms and expectations of the FA role! If you have any thoughts or suggestions, do not hold back :)
Should I reformat with a bit more flair? Should I take any jobs/details away? Rephrasing? Etc!
*note I left one set of dates to show how I listed all employment dates!

United Flight Attendant Live Virtual 1:1 Interview — Recent Questions?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋🏾

I’m currently waiting to hear back about my United Flight Attendant pre-recorded interview, and I’m hoping to prepare for the 30-minute live virtual 1:1 interview if I’m selected.

For anyone who has completed the United live virtual 1:1 recently (especially in 2026):

  • What questions were you asked?
  • How many questions did they ask?
  • Did they ask “Tell me about yourself,” “Why United?” and “Why do you want to be a Flight Attendant?”
  • What types of STAR/behavioral questions did you get?
  • Did they go over your resume/work history?
  • Did they ask anything about relocation, training, tattoos, or your passport?
  • Was there anything that surprised you or that you wish you had prepared for?

I’m not looking for anyone to give away anything confidential — I’d just really appreciate hearing about your experience so I can prepare properly.

Thank you, and good luck to everyone going through the process! ✈️❤️

United (UA) UA ODVI (prep time)

2 Upvotes

I received an invitation for the United on-demand video interview, and the email says:

For the recorded questions, you will have 3 attempts with a max of 120 seconds to record.  All responses are final.

so.. between my first attempt and the second attempt, can I pause and take about 30 minutes to an hour to prep (like refining my answers), or is there a strict countdown timer between attempts?Any insight into how much time we get between takes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

jetBlue (B6) JetBlue Timeline and Blue Review Questions

2 Upvotes

Applied 7/15, ODVI 7/28, Blue Review 9/17

I applied to JetBlue on July 15th in the evening and received my ODVI invite on July 27th. I submitted my video on July 28th.

I got my Blue Review invite today (9/1), and my Blue Review is scheduled for Thursday, September 17th in Fort Lauderdale! ✈️💙

Now I’m curious about something and wanted to see what everyone else thinks. Do you think the location of the Blue Review could potentially be connected to where JetBlue is currently hiring/needs flight attendants for that location? And for clarity, if my question doesn’t make sense, I’m saying (I know it could be a reach). If your interview is in Boston, you might get placed in Boston or if your interview is in Fort Lauderdale are you more likely to get placed in Fort Lauderdale?

Last question, are there any hotels that offer a shuttle to the JetBlue base for my interview? When I interviewed for Delta, there was a continuous shuttle. Also, what hotels would you recommend staying at? I will be traveling from out of state and I wanna make sure I pick a great location to sleep at.

Has anyone who selected Hawaiian on the Alaska/Hawaiian apps gotten to the 1:1 or F2F yet?

I'm wondering because I think I selected both and I just got the ODVI on Thursday, which I completed over the weekend. I'm wondering if the process for Hawaiian might look different and if this recent wave of ODVIs was for people who selected HA!

Upon looking at the website, I’m looking at the requirements but it’s not saying that I need one or two years of experience. Can anyone confirm how much experience one needs to apply?

United (UA) 🌐F2F: Limited flight options HELP

2 Upvotes

I live between two airports. One has very limited options (only two flights that work with the promo code at all) and the other has none. None of these options work with the day I’ve scheduled my F2F for. I emailed recruiting and asked to reschedule to a day that does have options for flights that work with the promo code and they said no.

Is anyone else having this issue? Do some airports just not work with the code? I’m really at a loss here. The flights that are available will have me there for so much extra time that it will cost hundreds more for me. Please help. I’m so stressed about this.
