..,it's one of my choices! my mom said nurses are a plus if you want to be a flight attendant, im taking one now, so if all else fails i might apply. in emirates, i think you have to be the model type of height around 5'7? i dont know. and you have to speak at least 5 major language.

i don't know with asian airlines though, maybe learn another asian language, and perfect english i guess? i think the height requirements might be lower. not sure.

they say it's a plus if you have straight teeth and good vision. the last part is still in the process hahhahaha!!!

I wanna be one, (not on an azn airline though because my korean is horrible. :sweatingbullets: ) I always thought it would be cool to travel and stuff. (plus if i ever got hijacked, i'd pull out built in azn ninja skillz, and if that didn't work i'd get drunk and pull out my mad irish street balling skillz (pretend we lost a football match or something.))

my aunt is one

and let's say she gets paid a LOT

because you're risking your life going on planes so much, you never know when the plane might be faulty, or crash down, be hijacked..

and also, you have to work pretty often, by going to other places. Which means less time for family/free time

(you could also be harassed by random people on the plane. My aunt was in the newspaper for kicking someone because he touched her@.@)

ROFL. Go your aunt! :lol:

Anyway. I think it'd be cool to be a flight attendant. You get to go lots of places for free and you get paid a lot...

i know that the airlines in korea (korean air and asiana) have height requirements. this is so you can be able to help people stow away their overhead bags. i think you have to be around 5'5". i think i've heard it's the same in japan, and i haven't heard about anywhere else, but i'd be surprised if it's much different.

You need to be really cheerful and be patient enough to cater annoying passengers. (therefore, always have a smile on)

You have to have a quick-wit and be able to ahndle situations quickly and calmly. Dont' be clumsy and foolish.

You have to be pretty (mostly for asian airlines) and yes they don't accept fat people because there's not enough room on airlines. Fat people tend to be a bit slower, not as healthy to handle airline altitude, and will take up a lot of room on the plane.

Yeah I think you have to be a certain height so that reaching the top where your bags go wouldn't be a problem.

I would really re-consider this as a job though. It doesn't pay much at all. And your body will suffer if you plan on attending international flights.

Nope. Maybe she's got a man on the side, because flight attending is definitely not a job that makes bank. Starting out even, one makes less than 20 grand yearly. ouchh.

She is married, but that doesn't make a huge difference (he spends a lot @.@)

maybe in different countries, the salaries are differ. My aunt lives in Taiwan

yeah my friend told me being a flight attendant doesn't pay well but if you're lucky, you might be able to see lot of actors and singers....i also heard that if you're late, the plane will leave without you and you'll be stuck at a foreign country
