Hi Jenny! Just wanted to say that here in Argentina you must go to those “flight attendants academies” or you won't be able to fly! At the end of the training they give a licence that will allow you apply for an airline, even at internarionals such as american, if you are planning to be based in the country, you need the licence or otherwise you won’t be even able to apply. Just thought it would be an interesting fact to tell! Looking forward to the other 3 videos xoxo
We gained our license after taking training with the airline, so that's why it's not necessary here (and typically a waste of time and money).
Thank you! Obviously, I'm not an expert at how this process is handled in different countries, so thank you for putting that out there so others know!
To anyone else reading this: PLEASE look into what the process is and what is required in your own country! It's going to vary for everyone! 🤗
Agustina Alvarez here in Brazil too...we study 4 month in academy...before to be hired...there we trainning for 2 month more again! But I think is very important to learn a lot about our carreer.
You look absolutely STUNNING in your uniform! You’re literally the perfect role model for an aspiring flight attendant!!
aww thank you so much!! 🤗
I work in HR, and it’s hard for me to imagine expecting someone to do 5-8 weeks of job-specific training without pay!!! That seems so wrong, and I don’t know of any other industry where that would be okay. It should be illegal.
I think it's because they cover the cost of our hotel and the majority of our food while we're there. I agree though, training should be paid even then.
Mcwatsington - That's crazy, too. I guess since they pay your accommodations.
It’s unfortunately quite more common across other careers too. I did 25 weeks of mandatory unpaid interning as a teacher before I could get my teaching license
...in fact I had to pay $2000 to do it on top of accommodations.
Nurses and health care professionals are in the same boat...
It should definitely be illegal!!!!!
@@jennyyernstt i was wondering about that. thanks for the info
I use to be a flight attendant for 2 and a half years, I worked for southwest. I was satisfied with it but I wanted to become a pilot, I didn't make enough money for college so when I was almost 21 I got my CDL and became a trucker which was the best thing I've done in my life...
what's it like being a trucker? are you still saving to become a pilot?
Im really happy that you mentioned about qualifications, im currently studying to be a Paramedic but I want with all my heart to be a flight attendant (why ive made these choices i dont know) but im currently building up my customer service skills as im only 17 so i dont plan to apply for a few years, im really looking forward to the rest of these because this was one really good!
update us!
Hiiii, any updates?
Jenny is the best! If I was a passenger on an airplane, I'd love her enthusiasm and personality!
thank you!!
Great video Jenny! 😊 I just wanted to add a few things as I'm currently an Australian based flight attendant:
-As you said, Glassdoor is amazing for reviews, but it is also _amazing_ for finding our what the interview process is like, & what type of questions may be asked, for each airline.
-As you mentioned, the flight attendant training academies are not only, in my opinion, a waste of time, but they can also work against you. You basically have to unlearn and then relearn when you eventually do get into an airline's ground school, because every airline's training is different.
-Lastly, if you live in Australia, the pay isn't too bad for flight attendants (AU$44-48k starting salary) & as far as I'm aware, every airline here has paid ground school.
Hope this helped someone ☺️✈️🌏
Thank you!! I knew Glassdoor has interview questions, and I'll be talking about that during my next video (which is about interviews). And I definitely agree that those training academies can work against you! I trained with people who previously worked for a different airline and they said it was so hard going through training a second time and trying to erase what was already engrained in them.
Jenny Ernst That's it! I feel like it's better & easier to learn with a fresh mind, rather than un-learning & relearning.
Glassdoor is probably the best for getting a good overview of a company, its probably half the reason I got a job as an FA!
Look forward to the rest of the series! 😊💕
What airline do you fly for???????
brownbear Like Jenny, I can't say on social media which airline I fly for 😭 But I'm based in Western Australia so that may give you a general idea ☺️
Hey Samantha! Are you Australian or American? I was hoping to apply to an Australian airline but you have to be a legal resident there (as far as everything I have read) Love your input, thanks!
Thank you Jenny, I was about to waste my money and go to The Travel Academy but I decided to apply directly from the airline website after listening to you. I really appreciate it
I just applied . Everything you covered I did !!! A couple hours after I mailed my application off I received the online assessment application to fill out. I am bilingual ( German/English ) and hope that will help my chances. I am very excited and love your videos. I watched "Flight Attendant School" and it made me want to be the best I can be when given the chance to get to training. Thank you for your help.
Jenny
Good luck!!! 🤗
What’s the website to apply for flight attendant called i want to apply for American Airlines but I can’t find the web or what do I have to do ?
@@gerardosalesperez7270 I dont remember. That was years ago. I now fly private as a Corporate Flight Attendant
So Jen, why a FA, why not a model? :))) So cute, cannot not smile back looking at you :))))
aww thank you!! 😊

Wow, what a lucky duck I am to have come across your video this early ! I just recently submitted an application three hours ago to spirit Airline . Your videos really uplifted my spirit to boost my resume with more great tips. You just gave me great tools to re-polish my resume by adding more outstanding skills to stand out from the crowd.
Thank you so much ! You are a life-saver !
I’ve applied to be a flight attendant in the past. I hear many airlines will reject applicants who don’t have a passport, and some airlines will invite you to an interview, and if it’s an in-person interview invite, I hear they’ll reject you if you show up without a passport, and then some airlines will say get your passport by the time you start training if you’re selected. If I look into it again, I will apply for a passport before doing anything.
Thank you for this, Jenny! It's so nice to have people like you willing to be honest and open with us. You're just so precious!
Holy moly! I’ve been going down the TH-cam rabbit hole all day on these videos. I wish I had found yours first bc omg you covered this so well!! Thank you so much!!
Hey Jenny! I follow you in Instagram and I know that you have sadly quited this AMAZING job, but I just wanted to let you know that I follow you for over arround 6 months, and you have inspired me so much to be a flight attendent, first I was so shy too admitt that I want to be a flight attendent because i felt that People would make fun of me (wich they eventually did) but know i have so much more facts to prove them that, we, the flight attendent are not just "waitress in the air" THEY ARE SO MUCH MORE!! K thats it:)) greetings from Chile :) ❤️❤️
Sis what passport is that
So informative! Where were you when I was applying?!?! haha!
Where were you MY WHOLE LIFE?! 😘
with all the wrong people!
OMG ALE ILYY
Jenny Ernst do they hire males as fly atendants
Hy beauty miss
Thank you so much! This exactly what I needed. I've been searching but now I can be smarter about it.
These videos are so amazing for me to watch because I’m 13 and it’s my dream to become an air hostess for emirates so I can travel the world I’m enjoying your videos 🤩
Omg its so crazy that i stumbled upon your FA vids. You were one of the vloggers i watched when i did the DCP !! I am now in the process of applying to airlines so i def will be a new sub !!!
+Anna & Ayana DCP yayyy!! Welcome back! 🤗💕
I just got my training date for your airline, videos 3 and 4 need to come quickly!
Thank you so much for this. Currently working on a spreadsheet to help me decide which direction to go in.
Great videos, I am not looking to be a flight attendant but I am really looking forward to the video where you discuss flight attendant training. I am an air traffic controller and love learning about other aviation safety professionals, their jobs and their training. Keep up the great work!
Im excited I cant wait to be a flight attendent
Ahhh I love charlotte based TH-camrs!!! Here supporting you girl!
i watched you before i become flight attendant and now i'm cabin crew.
so thank you so much for what you do and keep on doing what you do
i wish to meet you some day ^̮^ ^̮^
I love your sparkling personality! I will be showing my 18 year old daughter your videos. She graduates high school in May and has determined she like to become a FA. My only thing is she's 5'2 and really doesn't want to part with her nose ring ...
Ty for this it was a major help I was seriously going to attended flight attendant school you saved me
Hey Jenny! I'm a nurse, but a part of me wants to be a flight attendant too. Can you do a video with your friends that had past jobs and went on to be a flight attendant?
I'll ask around and see what I can do!
I am a flight attendant that works for another major US carrier, I actually want to go to Nursing school. I've worked with a lot of other flight attendants who decided to go into Nursing and vice versa. It really depends on what you're looking for in a job. I want to be a nurse because even if the days are long, I want to be home every single night now.
I'm an RN too and just got hired as a FA. Ironically the job is the same, just a different setting.
Same here , a nurse aswel, but to be flight attendant in addition
@@ANF4LYFE what serving drinks all day?
Jenny, you have become a real professional at making these videos. Great job and congratulations
Hello,love your videos! Here in Brazil we have to go to a flight attendant academy and after the course we must apply to the tests from ANAC( National Civil Aviation Agency ) and only after being approved we got a licence to apply to the airlines. Have nice flights!
Omg I miss your post so much this video is very informative Idk but your videos are just addicting your personality is amazing
I just wanted to tell thank you for making this video. You inspired me a lot. I could change how I think about myself and what I can do to be flight attendant without going school to be flight attendant(because I don’t have enough money to go there as a main reason)
Anyway, I love your videos!
❤️❤️❤️from Japan
Hello, you are/were very helpful and encouraging. Thank you for the tips!
Correction: spirit airlines is also based out of DTW, and I wouldn’t say it is a regional airline, because they do travel to some international destinations as well as national destinations. So, it’s not true that Delta is the only one based out of there. Also, Alaska Airlines does fly into a lot of destinations domestically, even places like Hawaii. They’re pretty impressive!! A lot of their bases are out in the west coast though, but you’d be surprised. I flew with them from PDX to FLL and they fly into so many airports. I see them everywhere.
Grateful you are doing this series
Thanks Jenny for this amazing video , you can't imagine how helpful it is :) !
Btw just wanted to say that you're very beautiful 😍 stay shiny girl
Very interesting video nice it's good to talk about how people should become flight attendant and how to apply very impressive 😊
Right on Jenny, awesome video :-)
Absolutely gorgeous 😍!!
Thank you for this!!! sooo helpful :)
Doing my video interview with Delta Monday afternoon. Really excited!!!! Wish me luck. Would be an awesome career change me.
Omg I’m so nervous 😬 but I’m all that.
I’m very social, I have previous experience in customer service I’m very positive and energetic I feel like I would nailed.
Is a mix of feelings I feel confident but nervous and insecure jaja I will watch all your videos.
I worked for a regional and still flew all over the country. But it's true that smaller regionals stay within the region.
+Marie any regionals I know of stay mostly on either the West side or East side of the country since their planes don’t hold enough fuel for transcons. I can see how a regional base in the Midwest or middle of country could manage to have routes all over though
This video was great very informative can't wait to watch the others😄💗
I loved your explanation! Usefull video!!!
I am so glad that i stumbled across your video!!! Jenny i just have to say how informative this was. Out of all the videos I have watched on TH-cam having to do with being a flight attendant yours was by far the best. Half of the things you mentioned I personally never would have thought of myself. the only other thing i found helpful aside from your video was the website www.flightattendantcareer.com , Kiki ( a flight attendant herself for 25+ years) lists all of the airlines that are currently hiring which is updated daily and weekly. Super helpful for those not knowing where to start. Ill definitely have to take a look at Glass door. thank you so much for these videos Jenny!!
Thanks for the video! Super helpful and informational :)
Thanks for an informative video.
I'm from Argentina too and we need the licence, it's very sad knowing that maybe I'll have to pay another training after that one and also that I won't earn a lot of money bc I want to fly in Europe but I'll have to maintain myself alone and I don't know if I could do it :( my dream's over
You are very nice...I was FA here in Brazil...Im trying to come back , I left because I have a son...well I would like to work there in EUA...make more videos! You're fabulous person✌😘
This helped me a lot. Thank you.
I want to start being a flight attendant when I’m 18 going to jetblue then transitioning to a flight attendant for American Airlines
Congrats
I have my f2f on the 6th! Hopefully i can use the rest of the videos if they come out on time as an aid
Great video! I am very existed for the rest of your videos! You are te one of three persons that insured me to be some an cabin crew. I live in Sweden and I work for Norwegian air shuttle! I like to watch your guess and know about he American way of cabin crew and the lot ces are pretty much the same! I hope to meet you someday in New York. I have a lot of American route. It is flights to New York Los Angeles. Keep it on!
great video really informative. thank you
Hello! I’m not sure if you’ll see this but I might as well try my luck. I have over 6 years of experience working in the customer service industry but I’ve only ever worked in one place before. In your opinion, would my application still be acceptable? Thank you.
Six years is pretty good, however, previous work experience isn’t the ONLY thing that is taken into consideration. Most companies also have you answer a bunch of various questions during your application that focus on the flight attendant job duties as well as the lifestyle. At the end of the day, there’s only one way to find out if your application goes through or not: you just need to apply.
@@jennyyernstt Hey Jenny, I’ve taken the leap and applied to a few airline companies that are hiring. To my surprise, I actually heard back from my dream airline so I’m definitely taking this as a sign to pursue my childhood dream of becoming an FA🤞
Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for the informative videos you’ve made about everything there is to know about being an FA. I’ve been binge watching your videos lool😂 Wising you all the best☺️
I wanna be a flight attendant when I grow up
Regional here, you are goals
DAMN you are so smart and informational and quick and whew you're probably amazing for this job good 4 you
Awesome Video Jenny.
Omg thanks so much for this video
i wanna become flight attendant but im 16 yrs old
I have a question, so I'm thinking about becoming a flight attendant and I wanted to know like after you guys land where do you stay and sleep over night? and when do you ever get to go back home after you guys reach the other destination because I know of course you guys arent in the plane 24/7
I want to become a flight attendant and would like to start applying soon. Which airline would be most suitable for someone who lives in Miami, besides American Airlines?
I'm flying your airline in a few days. Hopefully my flight atendants are as nice as you.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
What if someone is working from home in IT, and they want to be a part time flight attendant and only want to work on weekends. And money is not something which matters to them when it comes to be flight attendant . What would you suggest .
I'm guessing its better to be a flight attendant in America because there are more airlines to choose from, but in Australia, there are only 2 main airlines (QANTAS & Virgin Australia) and only one flies internationally. there are 2 others (JetStar and Tiger Air) that are each owned by the 2 main airlines.
Love this!
hi! I'm new here and I really liked your video. I have a question: I'm 16, still in high school, so I would start this career (is it even a career?) at 18 I guess. But the thing is that I have crohn disease... do you think they would let me in??
Thank you!!
Great info thanks
Thanks for the tip.
Hello, thank you so much for your video. I am Colombian and for now I have student visa, i am in Usa, and i talk (Spanish/English) so I want to ask you Do you think can I apply it if I don’t have any resident or green card?
You did such a great job on this! Way to pay it forward! #KrewKonnect
So informative!! Just curious how do you take care of your pup? I’m a single dog mom and I want to become a FA is it possible??
You are just so pretty.
Do you have to wear makeup at the airline you work at?
Paula Barnes I’m wondering that to
HeidiJoy Monreal let me tell you me and makeup damn sure ain't best friends cause I got sensitive skin 💄💄💄💄👛👝
you're so pretty!!!!!!
Is there any way you could become at flight attendant at 18?
When your life changes. Does it change in a good way or a bad way?
I'm actually looking forward to be a pilot but I want to get my degree from a US university as it is not offered as a college degree in my country. I was also interested on maybe becoming a FA for maybe 2 years to be able to earn some money but here in south america airlines don't train their flight attendants, they have to go throught outside training just as flight schools and that would end up costing a couple thousands, which is totally not worth it because here FA get paid as little as $6000 to $8000 usd per year
Hi Jenny! I live here in CLT! I will be applying for American next year. I will be retiring from the Fire Dept here in CLT so i will have an income and ive always wanted to be a FA and have many FA friends and a few couple Pilot friends who work for American and Delta. Is it hard to get based in CLT? I hear that its a senior base and of course it was a usairways base before the merger. I will go whereever they base me but will have to commute as i love Charlotte and yes, i know commuting is tough, but if i like the base i get so be it, but if i put in a transfer it will most likely be back to CLT unless i get lucky and get it out of training, which you never know IT COULD HAPPEN , based on operational need. Also, are you on straight reserve here in CLT?
How old do you need to be to work as a flight attendant internationally does it depend on the Airline for your age? And when you said moved to a different country what did you mean by that? Like just temporary move for the trip?
Hi Jenny! Great video! I am currently waiting to get my passport (expecting it in the next few days) and will then be applying to a few airlines! As of now, I would love to work for an airline that allows me to see the world, like you mentioned! Not just the US. I also live in Phoenix- and I have an interest in being based here. Of course it is never for sure and you can't always choose. So let's say I got based somewhere else randomly like Atlanta for example. How does that work? Will I need to get an apartment there? I ask because I know many people stay in hotels... is it worth it to get a place somewhere when I will essentially never be home? I am a bit confused about that! Thank you!
+Ms. Natalie’s Playhouse I’ll be sure to touch on this in part 4, as it’s a bit much to type out. In the meantime, FlyWithStella has a great video on crashpads that might be helpful to you
Do you get buddy passes as a flight attendant for AA? My stepmom is a FA for AA, she says she doesn’t, but I think she just doesn’t want me to go on awesome trips with friends.
lol
I'm 18, my dream is to become a flight attendant but I'm not sure what studies I need to complete like to have more opportunities and a better curriculum, I searched and they require customer service experience.
I’m 23 and I am currently in college pursuing my associates degree in business administration and I plan on attending flight attendant school afterwards. I have experience in customer service in restaurants, telemarketing I have hospitality experience but no flight attendant experience. Which flight attendant schools do you recommend?
What the name for a degree in customer service?
I fly the “major airline” a lot and I’m never lucky enough to see you.
Deputy3204 did u go geography as a subject??
Darcy Theodore what does that even mean? What does geography have to do with seeing her?
I'm asking Becuz I want to be a flight attendant and my friend told me most flight attendant do geography in school to become one
Its a question if u didn't understand u should have just asked more politely but forget it Anyways
Darcy Theodore you would have to ask her.
Hey I am thinking of becoming a flight attendant but what should you do if you own a pet in somewhat. Last night I just applied for Frontier. I live in Syracuse New York. The airlines that come to Syracuse is American, delta, United, southwest, Allegiant, and frontier. Not sure if I missed something but yeah. I don’t mind relocating but if I got hired by frontier and Syracuse is my home base for the time being I would still live with my parents to save money.
Hi Jenny! :)
I live in Germany but I miss my second homeland.
I have family in the US and I want to know if I can apply at AA, even if I don’t have the citizenship.
Is there a Westjet in the States? In Canada it is a major carrier and is more than regional. It's an international carrier.
WestJet also has a regional aspect that does a few flights in the states.
Hey Jenny! Is breakfast included when you get to your hotel on layovers.
+TheSkyTraveler depends on the hotel
Jenny! Do you think it is acceptable to include a photo/headshot in a flight attendant resume? Thoughts?
Hello and I know I'm the beginning you were talking about international and that's what are some international airlines that only fly to Europe and Africa , Bahamas etc ? Also what's are some private airlines too , do they fly international ?
I am really short! I am 154 CM, can't find any airline hire flight attendants at this height, do u know any?
Hi, I want to be a flight attendant when I’m older and I want to fly with British airways or Virgin so if you know what ones better or if there’s and even better airline please let me know ( I also want airlines that fly to either America or Brazil) < if they don’t I don’t mind edit: I am Also good at making sure people are comfortable xx
Thank you so much
Hi, Jenny! Thank you for such an informative video, I am an aspiring flight attendant. I was wondering if you could tell me if there is a vision requirement? I have 20/20 vision with both eyes open, 20/20 in my left eye, but I have a lazy eye thats in the process of slowly getting better. I heard that something like this could hinder my opportunity.
There’s no vision requirements for flight attendants.
Omg thank you for your advice! Iam currently starting the FA program at my local college and working as a barista at the mall! Thank you for sharing!😊
