  • We recently celebrated the 80th anniversary of flight attendants at American Airlines. We're very proud of our history of service and look forward to continuing that tradition at the #newAmerican. Learn more at bit.ly/AA80Years.

    What I absolutely love about this video is that AA is highlighting older employees, not just showing all 20 somethings.

      It's a terrific job for older people. I just started doing this a couple years ago at 62. I love it!

    My cousin, Juanita Carmichael, was a flight attendant with AA. She started in 1944. She retired in 2000 with 56 years of service. She was the oldest seniority for many years and held the Guinness Book of World Records title as the oldest flight attendant. As a kid, I loved hearing her stories about her many trips around the world. I salute all the AA flight attendants. Good people.

      Steve Mallon IKR!!! That is so awesome to hear about your cousin Ms. Carmichael. WOOOW 56 yrs is a long time for service and dedication. Flight attendants are awesome people. I love American Airlines. Also, today is 9/11 my thoughts and prayers are with the flight attendants and pilots who died on that fateful day. Also continued peace and healing to their families, friends, and the entire United States of America.

      Aw, how nice! If you’ve been flying long enough you’ll know who Juanita Carmichael is and I don’t even fly for American. I fly for another airline. Yes, she’s legendary for those of us in the industry overall who follow it well when it comes to inflight services. Airways Magazine even did an article about her.

    I have always through all the turmoil of flying considered American to be the best airline in the skies. It's the employees that make the difference. Congratulations on 80 years of AA flight attendants!

    Many fond memories of working as a PSA @ YVR in the '80s and '90s. Often was asked why I wasn't pursuing a position as a flight attendant. My response was always that I enjoyed my job on the ground. Fast forward 30+ years and what am I doing now? Working as a FA, but not with AA.

    I really wanted to be a F/A then I saw the paysclaes...... The rest was history. I rather go to college and design the aircraft and remain a passenger.

    I flew with American Airlines couple of times in my life. They were bad experiences. After that I tried to avoid this airline. I don’t know what it is that made the FA so mean … CS culture, racial discrimination? I hope it gets better tho…
    The first time was when I was 10 yo. I went to US with my mom to attend my sister’s college graduation.
    My mom only know basic English vocabulary. And i was extremely shy and my English was bad so i don’t speak anything . My mom tried to order orange juice for me. FA said she doesn’t have it and proceed to list all the available drinks … wine, tea, apple juice, pineapple juice etc…- with exception of ‘orange juice’. I think she did it on purpose to made fun of my mom’s accent. We got water
    At 14 yo. I went to US alone to study. I’m a short Asian girl. I wasn’t expecting FA to help or anything, I really tried to lift the carry on up but it was out of my reach and felt on my head. There were 3 flight attendants standing like 5 feet away. They made no attempt to help and were pointing and laughing at me.

    Have you heard about the Flight Attendant Roberta whose sister Sylvia is gay? The only problem is she hates gays and her best friend, Alina, is keeping Sylvia's secret, but not for long. Keeta, Roberta's, other best friend, has known all along, but she's got some secrets of her own; a stripping career and sugar daddy that pays the bill
