This is so inspiring. I got dismissed from training two years ago 3 days before graduation. It’s extremely hard and stressful. But now Im going back to training this week. I feel completely different from two years ago and I feel more ready. Sometimes you have to take a step back and try again at a better time. If you feel it’s for you, don’t give up girl. Keep trying and the next rime around you’ll ACE training.
I hope you interview again and try to become an inflight. As a former trainer, I have to say that hesitating is a problem - FAs need to have immediate response to challenging situations. Your reactions should be immediate and based on muscle memory. Hesitating for even half of a second could cost lives in an incident or accident. I also share this (I’m sure you’ve heard it before) because it’s important - if you feel lonely in training, I’d spend some Time thinking about if being an FA is for you. Working as a FA is extremely lonely - especially the first few years. You will spend endless nights alone in a hotel on holidays. You will have to be away from your family while they are going through things. It can be a fun job but the impact on your life is HARD. Training is hard but in many ways it’s the easiest part of being a FA - you are surrounded by friends/coworkers all the time. Think carefully about what you can and cannot handle. Best of luck!
SayYesToAwesome I definitely did interview again, and don’t plan on stopping until I get this job! It’s really reassuring to hear the side from a former trainer as I never got that. But I never understood because they told me I could take my time and I wasn’t being rushed so to think thoroughly. It literally probably happened within .4 seconds. I didn’t make it a note to point out I did anything wrong, because I felt I didn’t but they did, unfortunately. It was a learning experience though! It wasn’t bad being away from home and I wasn’t super lonely. As I’m super independent and did months on end research about this job and what others go through before I even decided to apply..It was my roommate that completely messed up the entire experience for me as arrogant as she was and as laid back as I am. I was in a living hell hole for 6 weeks. As anyone could imagine, leaving home for the first time and living with a complete stranger is extremely difficult. Especially if you don’t know them and are stuck with them it makes it difficult. I couldn’t even stay in my room so I felt like I was pushed completely out of my comfort zone when I knew what would work best for me studying and sleeping and whatnot.. As to say for the experience of the people I met and formed study groups with were some of the best parts of training because I met so many beautiful and amazing people and formed so many amazing friendships. As I got off the plane the first trip we worked, everyone was saying how AWESOME I did. To when I left, everyone was heartbroken but sent me heartfelt messages I’ll forever cherish. And I still stay in contact with many from training. It was definitely a new experience I’ve never had before but it taught me a lot and I know this is what I want to do for my career. The passion burns more than ever every single day, which is how I know this is what is for me! Thanks for reaching out! Your comment was valuable to me and I very much appreciate it! I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this time!♥️
ThaLexinator Awesome! I think you will do great - your attitude is exactly where it should be. Best of luck! Maybe I’ll see you in a training class soon :)
SayYesToAwesome I sure hope to see you, whoever you are! Thank you for being so positive and kind. I appreciate it :) Different training classes will be in my near future 😉
@@rebelprincess4515 Airlines pay for the training. You get hired when you pass your finals. Some provide housing. some don,t. Some pay union wages, regionals dont. Im a retired FA using my uncles laptop. My name is Lynne.
I agree - I flew for 30 years. . . I reiterated to her how important it is to not miss one thing, especially on a retake. Also, I said the same thing you said. . . . she wouldn't like the loneliness or having to work on holidays. . . we all have to go through that when we are junior.
I just failed my exam right now ( 30 mins ago) for an aviation company here in Canada and I'm searching up on youtube about other trainees' experiences during their aviation training. Passing grade is 80% and I got 79% 3 weeks of Theory and Lecture and 2 weeks of in-person training. It's hard to move on knowing that your classmates are still in training and you came up short😞😞😞
Everything happens for a reason! Hang in there! You’ll make it! It’s a lot of information crammed in a short period of time!! Stay consistent! You’ll make it !
I am really glad I watched your video. I am in a holding poll waiting for the training to start until the end of the year, and this video was really helpful as it showed how much effort needs to be put before the training and getting into the right mindset. Anyway I wish you the best and with that attitude you are going to end up in the air sooner then you expected. Would love to see a new update :)
I was dismissed because my trainer was literally in my face, and I was intimidated by this. I closed the door properly and my mind blanked and I was dismissed. It was a brutal. I have since learned this trainer is no longer a trainer and was reprimanded for her over the top safety briefings. The Best that can happen for her is to be demoted to Flight Attendant and have to work until her mandatory retirement. I was dismissed on the final day of training. Let this experience sharpen your resolve to become a Flight Attendant. Its all about the safety of others....its never about yourself...except knowing your stuff and proving it daily on the job and in re current training. Keep strong and move forward. One final thought. Its the airlines loss not having you, and every trainer is accountable for their behaviour. Its on them..
I’ve watched this video many times. I went to training with a mainline last year and two in my class were sent home because they failed the test twice. That was reasonable because you really have to study! I’m sorry for your experience, my instructors wouldn’t sent us home because of that reason instead they would let us do it again (retakes) because they want us all to be successful!
Yeah, it was just a huge downer on my part but I learned from it and I’m gonna come back even stronger next time! Even the instructor watching one of the instructors graded me and pulled the man aside and said “Man, really?! She knows what she’s doing.” It was just super unfortunate! I wish you the best of luck in pursing this career as well!
Did they just sent everyone home? I’m confused how it was furloughs when it’s just a CJO? But you were so much closer then me.. my training was suppose to start in March 2020 then it got pushed back to July then the offer got rescinded by October. But I’ll try again! 😂
I was a F/A for many years, training is no joke. You not only have to study, and study more, you have to nail your test and finals. Each airline is different, they are not only watching your grades, but your interactions as well. They are watching the way you handle new situations, how you handle the stress, how fast you can change or understand how to be accommodating. She gives you a a small window into what to expect. My advice is be prepared to be somewhere, you know no one, deal with your roommates get along it is never a perfect situation and you will not like everyone you are around period!!!! (You control this) when you pass and get online you again will fly with others you may not care for, its like any other job. If you are missing home, miss it for your 7 weeks, do not allow other factors to feed your stress from the outside, this is important. (Everyone feels alone during training, you feel venerable, and stressed.) it is part of the process. It's okay, stay calm. I wish you all the best in your endeavors...It is worth it, stick it out hold your head up and STUDY....Good luck and hopefully you will be out there seeing the country and world via a jumpseat.
Same thing happened to me exactly 4 days before graduation! Passed my CBT with a 96% , all emergency equipment and my First class validation. Forgot to say my door arming pa before the stop, drop & review step. Recorrected and restarted and did my door and cross checked the other door! But by then I was a nervous wreck and totally messed up the Evac😭
I just graduated day before yesterday and it’s Covid time and it was a 32 day intense training ! I was also hanging by a erj thread with same mistake like urs ! I’m so thankful to Allah / God that I cleared it. Don’t be disheartened we are still hiring apply again !
You'll be allright. You have to take the good with the bad. Life is a marathon not a sprint. Sorry for all the platitudes. But your young and motivated hang in there.
That just happened to me and my class graduated this morning! 😢💔 In my case, I went home because I had already had had two retakes. I miserably failed the test by four questions! It was so heartbreaking for me, especially since I only had five days left for graduation. But I am so glad I was able to make some very special friendships and I am genuinely happy for my classmates who graduated this morning. I’m just hoping they’ll invite me again next year. Anyway, glad you’re not giving up either. Good luck to you sweetheart!
The same thing happened to me 4 days before graduation! I self corrected and started again with the arming PA and armed my door 1L as well as 1R, then made the all call! I passed the FAA can’t test with a 98%, passed all emergency equipment and 1st class service validation! I wasn’t mad cause I didn’t do well on the final evac drill. It was a blessing cause 2 weeks later my daughter delivered my granddaughter 10 weeks prematurely and I was able to be with her!
The training seems very wrong 😑 and needs to be less intimidating more structured. It seems like even arming and cross checking is over the top! Don’t worry you’ll find a better airline to work for! U deserve better. I’ve been flying 16 years
Every airline just has their own way of teaching things. It was pretty intense plus we had 98 people in our class so it was huge at the beginning. They just want to make sure everything’s done 110% correct. Nothing wrong with that! However, I probably won’t be going back with the company-but wish them the best of course! I’m heading to training Monday with a different airline, smaller but hopefully I’ll get up in the sky soon!
Maybe try a regional, training is half the time, still very stressful but faster, just breathe and take your time on your drills, they had us do our retakes after our first attempt at my airline, I’d be upset too if I got sent home from training
Kate Smith i did just fine in training. I don’t want a regional. I got invited back but now have nobody offers with two companies. Unfortunately, the corona virus is ruining that for me right now.
I'm sorry you went through all of it but look at us we're all grounded anyways 🤷🏻♀️that's okay you'll get back on it and you'll fly hopefully soon. Best wishes for you
You poor thing! That's so much to deal with. I wish you the best. You're so young and you'll learn so much from this. Hope your friend is doing well after that awful attack!
_Loretta _ Aw Youre so sweet! Thank you so much! I learned a lot from it and I believe everything happens for a reason. It’s probably better I’m not flying right now during this pandemic anyways! And my friend is doing Amazing! He is doing way better for himself, now than before! Thank you for such sweet thoughts!☺️
Sorry to hear things didn’t work out. Just look at it as a learning experience and for the next time, think about what you’ll do to ensure you’ll pass through training tests, both written and demonstration based . Hope you’ll look into applying to other airlines in the future.
Elizabeth Schiada I did just fine on everything. I just need to be a little more sharp on my wording. I knew what I was doing, just cannot let nerves get the best of you and that’s hard to learn. I’m human. We all make mistakes! I’ll get it next time :-) I have job offers with 2 airlines still to this day, I will be flying the sky in the future!
ThaLexinator That’s great news! Which airlines are they? I actually also applied for a passport book and card and being a flight attendant is something I’ve considered. But even if I don’t become one, I’ve looked at visiting Canada or Mexico, at least to start with. I’m glad I applied now for one where there are way less people doing so. I imagine once all this is over people will be flocking to the post office, city hall, passport agency, etc to apply for a passport and applicants still will have to wait a while even with an appointment, which is also what happens at the DMV too.
The saddest part is when your best isn’t enough | on the practical was good but the nerve get thé best on my writing exams. Now you have to close a dream job knowing probably wanting something just not enough .. but must say thé connection with thé peoples in thé training was amazing
You’ll get there!! ✊🏼 don’t give up because you got sent home. You still can reapply for the same airline! Just because you were sent home doesn’t mean it’s over! Don’t limit yourself bc you know you got this!!!🥰
Oh, my. When I realized that this was in January of 2020 I thought, "Yikes...things are about to become even more chaotic." I suppose we all do that when we view things from right before that period of time. Anyway, so much love to you and I hope that you are finding a way to peace these days, 🤎.
Now passing marks are 80 percent I just graduated by the grace of Allah / God two days ago re apply again don’t be disheartened they are hiring like crazy go to their open house
And here I am, I failed my 777 and have already used my lifelines/retake from the Airbus. It's super super stressful when you have to retain all the info from one aircraft configuration to another plus also doing online homework at the same time and proficiency checks/drills at the same day with the exam. I am devastated because I am only 2weeks away from graduationg but they sent me home. I passed my drills and OE and simulated flight but its the 777 that's my downfall.
Girl I just got dismissed myself .. I was starting week 3 and the familiarization exam took me out .. I had already used up my retakes in the first week and this specific test they didn’t give us a homework to study on it, I just prepared so wrong.. 😫 I’m not even mad but my company I applied for theyre so unorganized 😵💫 and the hotel was dirty so ah whatever I’ll apply for another airline if anything
@@maddzzmimosas5092 well, if the sky is where your heart wants to be… just know you can do it ❤️ Keep faith! Maybe this airline wasn’t the one you were meant to be with!!
They had to limit hires.These airlines are now cutting down food service. Fuel is way high. Go easier on Yourself. You can d it again for sure.You make a good impression.Dont worry.
most airlines are desperate for crews..try again and you will have more confidence because you get it now.. I have worked for three airlines due to mergers it gets better with time..in my own experience the worst Airline is AA Especially for new hires sorry to say..don’t know which one you came home from but keep trying..
@@thalexinator5050 good luck to you.. you’ll be fine now you know the ropes a bit.. Try to look at it as an adventure you are young and by the time you get some decent seniority You will be having fun..make it fun get some nomad spirit and go with the flow.. also don’t post much about the airline because they do check social media and can Get you fired so drop the account for a long time just be safe..
@@uptick888 oh I know, that’s why I don’t post much of the airline previously when I was working. And I still don’t. I don’t wish anyone any failure though. It was a learning process and what may be for me may not be for others! Visa versa!! Can’t wait to be back and give it a go!
@@badge2045 dang!! I’m sorry to hear that. Things change so much with the airlines constantly. I did make it through 2 airlines after that. I’m not with UA now
Wade Wiggan especially because they said “take your time, you are not being timed.” It was really a silly reasoning beyond their half...🤷🏻♀️ Oh well, onto the next thing!🤙🏼
@@thalexinator5050 We live and we learn...teachable moment for sure. With my airline...they actually appreciate when we self correct in training. Depending on the instructor...they'll let you do it over...or just the portion that you missed. I started crying for you and I don't even know you....lol Hopefully there's something better out there for you.
Wade Wiggan there is something blue about every airline!😂 does it start with “U” cause we had tottaly different experiences😬 But thank you so much! I hope the same for you as well!☺️
that’s shitty i can’t imagine , 5 days away an that happening, an what sucks is, im sure some have passed doing the exact same thing, but depending on the instructor an all.. did you ever try again?? i know this video is older
My grand daughter went through Skywest training earlier this year. Think they were allowed something like 3 gigs during training, failed tests and dress and being late for the bus and so forth. Her last day in training she got gigged for wearing a split skirt. The girl next to her had on long ear rings and got dismissed and sent home…. Brutal and tragic.
Brutal and tragic? It’s not. It’s just a very strict process which not all people can follow. Sometimes If you’re not mentally & emotionally stable, that can hinders ones thought process throughout the entire training process which then might be tragic to one who really would love to do this as a job. Or even getting sent home from one small thing. Airlines do not mess around but sometimes they aren’t always clear on expectations, point blank period. It’s not hard to follow rules. But you always either have some who don’t, or who think they can get away with things and that’s where the problem is.
I see this happened 4 years ago. I don't think it's the job for you anyway. . . you said you didn't like being away from home or being with people you didn't know. . . . .and the stress. Also, there could be many times when you are on a layover by yourself, on holidays, or other days, when you are an extra on a trip and everyone else is on a different ID or they are home. There is stress in the job, you are away from home with strangers for days. Lose the word "like". . . . they don't go for that. I flew for 30 years. Yes, there were retakes, but it has to be done perfectly, even though you said "it was for something small". . . . it wasn't small - it was your retake. Believe me, I understand the nerves. Also, did they tell you that you have to go through this every year?
Well I grew up being at home all the time. I never knew about leaving the house before this experience. This was almost 4 years ago. I think you’re wrong because now I’ve been doing this job for 3 years and love it. Sooo….
They did you a favor these airlines are trash I wouldn’t waste my time with them look in to nursing it pays more and it’s a stable job you deserve better
Lol... yeah those door slides getting actuated because you failed to verify the doors where disarmed or armed is a big deal! Seen a flight attendant forget to disarm the door and it actuated the entire slide and nearly killed the gate agent. Tough stuff! Keep at it :) bunch of airline regionals hiring.. I work for Southwest Airlines and I know they have a decent failure rate as welll. People not showing up to class on time they don’t tolerate it lol, you’re done. They don’t give many chances in any airline training. Fact is that even for Southwest we get so many applicants for our flight attendant jobs thousands and thousands and so they major airlines are just unwilling to work with people much..
I didn’t fail anything by describing the aircraft door or the procedure. I corrected myself on the girt bar viewing windows, even though I knew I forgot that step, I went back and corrected it without saying anything and they still marked it as wrong-as to be expected. However, they did say we could recorrect ourselves like that.. SO, getting sent home over correcting myself didn’t seem fair. But it happens, everything happens for a reason. I’ll be back in no time!🤷🏻♀️🙌🏼
@@thalexinator5050 I love you and I am so proud of you!!!!! This too shall pass but you are going to progress forward!!!! Don't let the enemy bring you down
Hey there! I’m currently a flight attendant for one of the best airlines. I’m really finding the training hectic. Also, there’s a lot of studying. It’s been 5 years I’ve graduated could you help me with tips on how to clear the training?
You probably realized by now that they didn't really send you home because you hesitated. They sent you home because you probably committed a number of small errors that gave the evaluators a certain impression over a period of time. Evaluators usually say that one has failed because of a small reason simply to let one down easily.
@@thalexinator5050 If that's the case, then count yourself lucky that you didn't end up working for an airline that would send you home over such a trivial infraction. Life's too short to work for unreasonable people like that.
i think it was just an easy excuse to release me. I truthfully believe they have offered so many CJO's they were trying to weed out the people who have never flight attended before. I really did nothing wrong though.
Yikes, that sounds so intimidating. I’m sorry that happened to you. But when one door closes, another opens, and you will have better doors open for you 🤍
They did you a favor. Do you really want to be part of this terrible industry? It is time to look for a new career. It will probably be years before the airlines start hiring again. The public has no sympathy for the airlines because they have abused the public for years with their rudeness, arrogance, packing people like sardines, Kicking people off flights for minor infractions, over bookings, lies, and general lack of respect for their customers. Do you really want be a part of this anymore? Give it up, it is over.
Excuse me, this is all completely false and wrong information. & whom are you to comment on someone’s stuff that clearly makes them happy?! If someone’s happy with doing something, they are going to do it-end of story. This was and still is my happiest journey. The aviation industry is AMAZING. Sure there are flaws in the systems of aviation-no matter which airline you chose. But there are a lot of flaws in everything in this world and the people you come in contact with. Just like food industry and retail industry. There is no such thing is perfect. Airlines have their reasons for kicking people off flights, and majority of it is NOT minor infractions. As part of crew, eveyone does their absolute best to make sure all the lives of the passengers whom are flying with them that day are SAFE. If there is any little inconvenience or red flag, it is in our or their hands to handle it. They don’t take things lightly, because that could be MANY people’s lives at sake. Sorry you feel this way; but there are 7 billion people in the world besides you, and we all have places to be at times... it can’t always be a perfect world for just one person traveling. However, I won’t ever give up. I know when airlines are hiring and I have my IN already with multiple airlines. It’s not up to you wether it’s time to give up or what I want to be part of. I won’t give up on my dreams, nor should anyone else.
@@thalexinator5050 I hope after all this is over, airline personnel will be more humble and less arrogant. Maybe they have learned their lesson, but I doubt it. I've seen people kicked off planes for going to the bathroom at the wrong time when they had no other choice but to go in their pants Who would treat someone like that? That's what happens when you give idiots a list of rules and power, but they are too stupid to use common sense. If they are keeping the best candidates during flight attendant school, I would hate to see what they had to send home. If you do get hired, I hope you use better judgment.
@@stanmercer5831 and I hope you check your facts before correcting someone who had been in the airline industry or IS. I get that there are some arrogant people out there, but again-we all have jobs and in aviation you’re life is held accountable by the FAA and the people who are working that flight, they have to work and live up to a standard. I’m sorry if you’ve come across one bad person or so forth, but not eveyone is like that and not every flight is like that. If it is, the airline would know ASAP and get ahold of the situation, I promise you that.
@@thalexinator5050 As an Empath I salute you. You gained so much; it is all yours to keep without shame or sense of failure. Once my own pursuits aimed at your goal; lovingly you revealed the deep reality that existed beyond my reach in 1978. Think outside of the box. Perhaps if you were to allow a broader realm of possibility, you could feel, and BE yet undiscovered energy. I allowed myself the luxury of a full time Railroad career, with pension and benefits, as well as being an in-sitter at Bed and Breakfast Inns, attending cooking seminars, My beautiful surroundings are freely given to me. YOU, Dear One, Deserve Better. Your Soul Was Rescued - I'm 60 and wish to back-date my highest compassion.
Unfortunately the military is not an option from me. Home will always be home-idc who you are. That experience was enough for me to get it out of my system.
@@thalexinator5050 Sorry that I was not more clear, it is a military way of doing things (including training) that permeates the organization to some extent. It is different than normal business training, because as you have said, passengers lives are at stake.
Never give up I was sent home two days before graduation with a regional I got my wings with a major airline hang in there
Aww ☹️ I got rejected too :((
Why did you get dismissed? I'm thinking of being a flight attendant soon
This is so inspiring. I got dismissed from training two years ago 3 days before graduation. It’s extremely hard and stressful. But now Im going back to training this week. I feel completely different from two years ago and I feel more ready. Sometimes you have to take a step back and try again at a better time. If you feel it’s for you, don’t give up girl.

Why did you get dismissed?
Hi! May I know the reason why you got dismissed?
hang in there you are ready now❤
I hope you interview again and try to become an inflight.
As a former trainer, I have to say that hesitating is a problem - FAs need to have immediate response to challenging situations. Your reactions should be immediate and based on muscle memory. Hesitating for even half of a second could cost lives in an incident or accident.
I also share this (I’m sure you’ve heard it before) because it’s important - if you feel lonely in training, I’d spend some
Time thinking about if being an FA is for you. Working as a FA is extremely lonely - especially the first few years. You will spend endless nights alone in a hotel on holidays. You will have to be away from your family while they are going through things. It can be a fun job but the impact on your life is HARD. Training is hard but in many ways it’s the easiest part of being a FA - you are surrounded by friends/coworkers all the time. Think carefully about what you can and cannot handle.
Best of luck!

Did they call y’all back!
I was a F/A for many years, training is no joke. You not only have to study, and study more, you have to nail your test and finals. Each airline is different, they are not only watching your grades, but your interactions as well. They are watching the way you handle new situations, how you handle the stress, how fast you can change or understand how to be accommodating. She gives you a a small window into what to expect. My advice is be prepared to be somewhere, you know no one, deal with your roommates get along it is never a perfect situation and you will not like everyone you are around period!!!! (You control this) when you pass and get online you again will fly with others you may not care for, its like any other job. If you are missing home, miss it for your 7 weeks, do not allow other factors to feed your stress from the outside, this is important. (Everyone feels alone during training, you feel venerable, and stressed.) it is part of the process. It's okay, stay calm. I wish you all the best in your endeavors...It is worth it, stick it out hold your head up and STUDY....Good luck and hopefully you will be out there seeing the country and world via a jumpseat.
Already am! Thank you!!
Same thing happened to me exactly 4 days before graduation! Passed my CBT with a 96% , all emergency equipment and my First class validation. Forgot to say my door arming pa before the stop, drop & review step. Recorrected and restarted and did my door and cross checked the other door! But by then I was a nervous wreck and totally messed up the Evac😭
I just graduated day before yesterday and it’s Covid time and it was a 32 day intense training ! I was also hanging by a erj thread with same mistake like urs ! I’m so thankful to Allah / God that I cleared it. Don’t be disheartened we are still hiring apply again !
This wasn’t a regional company I was with. We had not ERJ or CRJ in our fleet 🙂 I still have a CJO, as they sent me home for no reason
You'll be allright. You have to take the good with the bad. Life is a marathon not a sprint. Sorry for all the platitudes. But your young and motivated hang in there.
Just got dismissed after my third day, I was so discouraged but this was so hopeful thank you so so much. This isn’t the end for me 🥺💕💕💕
Keep going!!!!🩷🩷 you got this!!
Hey. Why were you dismissed?
3 days in ? What happened ?
That just happened to me and my class graduated this morning! 😢💔
In my case, I went home because I had already had had two retakes. I miserably failed the test by four questions! It was so heartbreaking for me, especially since I only had five days left for graduation. But I am so glad I was able to make some very special friendships and I am genuinely happy for my classmates who graduated this morning. I’m just hoping they’ll invite me again next year. Anyway, glad you’re not giving up either. Good luck to you sweetheart!
So sorry that happened to you! Things happen for a reason, but never give up! You will get there!!♥️✈️
@@thalexinator5050 , thank you…you will too! ✈️✈️✈️💝✈️✈️✈️
@@7919AEM I did!😉✈️
@@thalexinator5050 , oh wow….well congrats!!! ✈️✈️✈️✈️💟
Thank you! Hoping to upload a new vid soon! 😁
The same thing happened to me 4 days before graduation! I self corrected and started again with the arming PA and armed my door 1L as well as 1R, then made the all call! I passed the FAA can’t test with a 98%, passed all emergency equipment and 1st class service validation! I wasn’t mad cause I didn’t do well on the final evac drill. It was a blessing cause 2 weeks later my daughter delivered my granddaughter 10 weeks prematurely and I was able to be with her!
The training seems very wrong 😑 and needs to be less intimidating more structured. It seems like even arming and cross checking is over the top! Don’t worry you’ll find a better airline to work for! U deserve better. I’ve been flying 16 years
Every airline just has their own way of teaching things. It was pretty intense plus we had 98 people in our class so it was huge at the beginning. They just want to make sure everything’s done 110% correct. Nothing wrong with that! However, I probably won’t be going back with the company-but wish them the best of course! I’m heading to training Monday with a different airline, smaller but hopefully I’ll get up in the sky soon!
U R SOOO RIGHT
GODS TIMING
HES GOT U. JUST STAY READY. ITS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER ❤✈
Maybe try a regional, training is half the time, still very stressful but faster, just breathe and take your time on your drills, they had us do our retakes after our first attempt at my airline, I’d be upset too if I got sent home from training
Kate Smith i did just fine in training. I don’t want a regional. I got invited back but now have nobody offers with two companies. Unfortunately, the corona virus is ruining that for me right now.
I'm sorry you went through all of it but look at us we're all grounded anyways 🤷🏻♀️that's okay you'll get back on it and you'll fly hopefully soon.
Best wishes for you
So sorry to hear this story. I'm sure you would have been excellent . Everyone gets nervous .
nice job ! keep up the good work !
Oh man this entire video just gave me so much anxiety from my time in flight attendant training
Depends on who your with, just know it’s different for everyone. This was before covid times. Don’t have anxiety. Not a good way to go into training.
You poor thing! That's so much to deal with. I wish you the best. You're so young and you'll learn so much from this. Hope your friend is doing well after that awful attack!
_Loretta _ Aw Youre so sweet! Thank you so much! I learned a lot from it and I believe everything happens for a reason. It’s probably better I’m not flying right now during this pandemic anyways! And my friend is doing Amazing! He is doing way better for himself, now than before! Thank you for such sweet thoughts!☺️
@@thalexinator5050 Glad to hear that 😊
My pleasure 😉
Sorry to hear things didn’t work out. Just look at it as a learning experience and for the next time, think about what you’ll do to ensure you’ll pass through training tests, both written and demonstration based . Hope you’ll look into applying to other airlines in the future.
Elizabeth Schiada I did just fine on everything. I just need to be a little more sharp on my wording. I knew what I was doing, just cannot let nerves get the best of you and that’s hard to learn. I’m human. We all make mistakes! I’ll get it next time :-) I have job offers with 2 airlines still to this day, I will be flying the sky in the future!
ThaLexinator That’s great news! Which airlines are they? I actually also applied for a passport book and card and being a flight attendant is something I’ve considered. But even if I don’t become one, I’ve looked at visiting Canada or Mexico, at least to start with. I’m glad I applied now for one where there are way less people doing so. I imagine once all this is over people will be flocking to the post office, city hall, passport agency, etc to apply for a passport and applicants still will have to wait a while even with an appointment, which is also what happens at the DMV too.
The saddest part is when your best isn’t enough | on the practical was good but the nerve get thé best on my writing exams. Now you have to close a dream job knowing probably wanting something just not enough .. but must say thé connection with thé peoples in thé training was amazing
You’ll get there!! ✊🏼 don’t give up because you got sent home. You still can reapply for the same airline! Just because you were sent home doesn’t mean it’s over! Don’t limit yourself bc you know you got this!!!🥰
@@thalexinator5050 thank you 🙏🏾
Oh, my. When I realized that this was in January of 2020 I thought, "Yikes...things are about to become even more chaotic."
I suppose we all do that when we view things from right before that period of time. Anyway, so much love to you and I hope that you are finding a way to peace these days, 🤎.
I've got dismissed as well... I studied well enough but I scored 86 out of 100.
Thiago Marques dang, I’m sorry to hear that! Don’t give up though!!
Now passing marks are 80 percent I just graduated by the grace of Allah / God two days ago re apply again don’t be disheartened they are hiring like crazy go to their open house
& they sent you Home
And here I am, I failed my 777 and have already used my lifelines/retake from the Airbus. It's super super stressful when you have to retain all the info from one aircraft configuration to another plus also doing online homework at the same time and proficiency checks/drills at the same day with the exam. I am devastated because I am only 2weeks away from graduationg but they sent me home. I passed my drills and OE and simulated flight but its the 777 that's my downfall.
You are very brave. But trust this path what you will achieve is phenomenal ❤
I feel you , and best wishes! Everything happens for reasons ❤
They sure do!
That’s crappy. That’s sad. He encouraged. You will get it next time
Girl I just got dismissed myself .. I was starting week 3 and the familiarization exam took me out .. I had already used up my retakes in the first week and this specific test they didn’t give us a homework to study on it, I just prepared so wrong.. 😫 I’m not even mad but my company I applied for theyre so unorganized 😵💫 and the hotel was dirty so ah whatever I’ll apply for another airline if anything
Were you with a regional(smaller) airline?? Sorry to hear you were dismissed!
@@thalexinator5050 you would think but no I was with spirit 🫣 not the bestest experience training wise ..
@@maddzzmimosas5092 well, if the sky is where your heart wants to be… just know you can do it ❤️ Keep faith! Maybe this airline wasn’t the one you were meant to be with!!
Proud of you that is my dream job also
I hope by now you are in the air. Keep your head up and keep trying. You will pass... I promise
They had to limit hires.These airlines are now cutting down food service. Fuel is way high. Go easier on
Yourself. You can d it again for sure.You make a good impression.Dont worry.
most airlines are desperate for crews..try again and you will have more confidence because you get it now..
I have worked for three airlines due to mergers it gets better with time..in my own experience the worst
Airline is AA Especially for new hires sorry to say..don’t know which one you came home from but keep trying..
Thank you. I still have an offer with this company as well as another mainline. :) hopefully the next one treats me well!
@@thalexinator5050 good luck to you.. you’ll be fine now you know the ropes a bit..
Try to look at it as an adventure you are young and by the time you get some decent seniority
You will be having fun..make it fun get some nomad spirit and go with the flow..
also don’t post much about the airline because they do check social media and can
Get you fired so drop the account for a long time just be safe..
@@uptick888 oh I know, that’s why I don’t post much of the airline previously when I was working. And I still don’t. I don’t wish anyone any failure though. It was a learning process and what may be for me may not be for others! Visa versa!! Can’t wait to be back and give it a go!
@@thalexinator5050 sounds good..we learn all our lives this is the school of life🙏👍
Keep on keeping on ty for sharing.
Why is AA the worst?
Oh my heart breaks. I was sent home at 50 yrs old. I was devastated but I know what u mean I had a blast. Go for it. Update if u see this
So sorry you were sent home 💔 KEEP TRYING!!!
@thalexinator5050 who are u flying with. I was In Herndon va. United express.
@badge2045 at the time I was UA mainline.
@@thalexinator5050 did u make it. Too late for me I'm 68 now..lolol
@@badge2045 dang!! I’m sorry to hear that. Things change so much with the airlines constantly. I did make it through 2 airlines after that. I’m not with UA now
What!
You hesitated!
SMH!
That ain't right...they shouldn't have.
Like you're not a robot you're human...you're learning.
Wade Wiggan especially because they said “take your time, you are not being timed.” It was really a silly reasoning beyond their half...🤷🏻♀️ Oh well, onto the next thing!🤙🏼
@@thalexinator5050 We live and we learn...teachable moment for sure.
With my airline...they actually appreciate when we self correct in training.
Depending on the instructor...they'll let you do it over...or just the portion that you missed.
I started crying for you and I don't even know you....lol
Hopefully there's something better out there for you.
Wade Wiggan there is something blue about every airline!😂 does it start with “U” cause we had tottaly different experiences😬
But thank you so much! I hope the same for you as well!☺️
Wade Wiggan that was my first guess! I gotchu! How long have you been with them?!
@@thalexinator5050 3 months
Are the tests multiple choice ?
that’s shitty i can’t imagine , 5 days away an that happening, an what sucks is, im sure some have passed doing the exact same thing, but depending on the instructor an all.. did you ever try again?? i know this video is older
no big deal . airlines say they care about safety but that is questionable. they just follow the money.. do what the master says.
So sorry this happened to you. Can I ask which airline?
These guidelines are established by the FAA not the airline. Can you return and run through the class again?
My grand daughter went through Skywest training earlier this year. Think they were allowed something like 3 gigs during training, failed tests and dress and being late for the bus and so forth. Her last day in training she got gigged for wearing a split skirt. The girl next to her had on long ear rings and got dismissed and sent home…. Brutal and tragic.
How is it brutal and tragic? How difficult is it for young adults to follow simple rules?
Brutal and tragic? It’s not. It’s just a very strict process which not all people can follow. Sometimes If you’re not mentally & emotionally stable, that can hinders ones thought process throughout the entire training process which then might be tragic to one who really would love to do this as a job. Or even getting sent home from one small thing. Airlines do not mess around but sometimes they aren’t always clear on expectations, point blank period.
It’s not hard to follow rules. But you always either have some who don’t, or who think they can get away with things and that’s where the problem is.
I see this happened 4 years ago. I don't think it's the job for you anyway. . . you said you didn't like being away from home or being with people you didn't know. . . . .and the stress. Also, there could be many times when you are on a layover by yourself, on holidays, or other days, when you are an extra on a trip and everyone else is on a different ID or they are home. There is stress in the job, you are away from home with strangers for days. Lose the word "like". . . . they don't go for that. I flew for 30 years. Yes, there were retakes, but it has to be done perfectly, even though you said "it was for something small". . . . it wasn't small - it was your retake. Believe me, I understand the nerves. Also, did they tell you that you have to go through this every year?
Well I grew up being at home all the time. I never knew about leaving the house before this experience. This was almost 4 years ago. I think you’re wrong because now I’ve been doing this job for 3 years and love it. Sooo….
They did you a favor these airlines are trash I wouldn’t waste my time with them look in to nursing it pays more and it’s a stable job you deserve better
Lol... yeah those door slides getting actuated because you failed to verify the doors where disarmed or armed is a big deal! Seen a flight attendant forget to disarm the door and it actuated the entire slide and nearly killed the gate agent. Tough stuff! Keep at it :) bunch of airline regionals hiring.. I work for Southwest Airlines and I know they have a decent failure rate as welll. People not showing up to class on time they don’t tolerate it lol, you’re done. They don’t give many chances in any airline training. Fact is that even for Southwest we get so many applicants for our flight attendant jobs thousands and thousands and so they major airlines are just unwilling to work with people much..
I didn’t fail anything by describing the aircraft door or the procedure. I corrected myself on the girt bar viewing windows, even though I knew I forgot that step, I went back and corrected it without saying anything and they still marked it as wrong-as to be expected. However, they did say we could recorrect ourselves like that.. SO, getting sent home over correcting myself didn’t seem fair. But it happens, everything happens for a reason. I’ll be back in no time!🤷🏻♀️🙌🏼
@@thalexinator5050 I love you and I am so proud of you!!!!! This too shall pass but you are going to progress forward!!!! Don't let the enemy bring you down
@@chazmbc.burchh.c.9219 thank you!!🥺🥺🥺❤️ you’re so sweet! That means a lot to me!!!
Hey there! I’m currently a flight attendant for one of the best airlines. I’m really finding the training hectic. Also, there’s a lot of studying. It’s been 5 years I’ve graduated could you help me with tips on how to clear the training?
Stay focused on the Material and not what other people are saying in training. You are there for the job, not drama. You got this!!
I’m about to go to training in Denver very soon for Frontier so nervous
Best wishes!! REMEMBER; YOU GOT THIS! Enjoy the journey! Make it a fun one!!!
@@thalexinator5050 thank you am trying not to freak out lol but so excited.
Did you go back to training?
@@scottgrant8653 don’t lol, you’ll have fun! And I did but not for the same airline!
@@thalexinator5050 yeah my biggest fear is messing up it’s gonna be a long 4 and a half weeks
Eh don’t set yourself up like that. Just pay attention, do your studying, show up on time and make memories with classmates! You’ll be fine
which airline
This video was a waste of time
Since she was training in Texas it sounds like it was for American.
They're not supposed to say
You probably realized by now that they didn't really send you home because you hesitated. They sent you home because you probably committed a number of small errors that gave the evaluators a certain impression over a period of time. Evaluators usually say that one has failed because of a small reason simply to let one down easily.
I really didn’t tho Iol
@@thalexinator5050 If that's the case, then count yourself lucky that you didn't end up working for an airline that would send you home over such a trivial infraction. Life's too short to work for unreasonable people like that.
Sending hugs 💙.
I left after 5 yrs 6 month.
It was fun and then got ugly.
Management
Hii please start uploading every day!! You getting soo many views you can be famous and shit
Hi what happened girl?
Watch the videos??!
That sucks!! They spent all that time training you and then just fired you? What a waste!
They didn’t “Fire” me, they sent me home. But that’s their own money, so obviously they did not care.
@@thalexinator5050 All that hard work and 1 mistake then they fail you?? Why waste all that $$ and time training you then just send you home :(
We are all wondering the same thing… they invited me back. But I chose not to go, I am now with another mainline carrier. Things happen for a reason
Can we be friend. You’re so freaking nice
You sound like a very squared away young lady. Hang in there keep plugging you ll make it . Best of luck
You will be alright your only 22
22 five years ago lol.
Who did you train for?
Well you better know how to shut the door.
What does that mean?
So they got mad you hesitated ... so what were you suppose to instead of hesitating 🤨🤨🤨
i think it was just an easy excuse to release me. I truthfully believe they have offered so many CJO's they were trying to weed out the people who have never flight attended before. I really did nothing wrong though.
seven weeks, must’ve been american
Good luck nice video stay ssfe i know where you are coming from.
Is training hard everyone says it’s hard ... what’s so hard about it ?
Miguel Taylor Go through it and you’ll understand
Miguel Taylor You have to learn a lot in such a short amount of time
@@katesmith8897so true
He should’ve passed you smh
There’s a reason why I got invited back because they couldn’t even give me an explanation on what I did wrong or why they were sending me home lol
Maybe you should become a pilot.
Would have loved that! But due to medical things, I am not able to do so 😢
Yikes, that sounds so intimidating. I’m sorry that happened to you. But when one door closes, another opens, and you will have better doors open for you 🤍
You are absolutely right! Thank you for your positivity!♥️
They did you a favor. Do you really want to be part of this terrible industry? It is time to look for a new career. It will probably be years before the airlines start hiring again. The public has no sympathy for the airlines because they have abused the public for years with their rudeness, arrogance, packing people like sardines, Kicking people off flights for minor infractions, over bookings, lies, and general lack of respect for their customers. Do you really want be a part of this anymore? Give it up, it is over.
Excuse me, this is all completely false and wrong information. & whom are you to comment on someone’s stuff that clearly makes them happy?! If someone’s happy with doing something, they are going to do it-end of story. This was and still is my happiest journey. The aviation industry is AMAZING. Sure there are flaws in the systems of aviation-no matter which airline you chose. But there are a lot of flaws in everything in this world and the people you come in contact with. Just like food industry and retail industry. There is no such thing is perfect. Airlines have their reasons for kicking people off flights, and majority of it is NOT minor infractions. As part of crew, eveyone does their absolute best to make sure all the lives of the passengers whom are flying with them that day are SAFE. If there is any little inconvenience or red flag, it is in our or their hands to handle it. They don’t take things lightly, because that could be MANY people’s lives at sake. Sorry you feel this way; but there are 7 billion people in the world besides you, and we all have places to be at times... it can’t always be a perfect world for just one person traveling. However, I won’t ever give up. I know when airlines are hiring and I have my IN already with multiple airlines. It’s not up to you wether it’s time to give up or what I want to be part of. I won’t give up on my dreams, nor should anyone else.
@@thalexinator5050 I hope after all this is over, airline personnel will be more humble and less arrogant. Maybe they have learned their lesson, but I doubt it. I've seen people kicked off planes for going to the bathroom at the wrong time when they had no other choice but to go in their pants Who would treat someone like that? That's what happens when you give idiots a list of rules and power, but they are too stupid to use common sense. If they are keeping the best candidates during flight attendant school, I would hate to see what they had to send home. If you do get hired, I hope you use better judgment.
@@stanmercer5831 and I hope you check your facts before correcting someone who had been in the airline industry or IS. I get that there are some arrogant people out there, but again-we all have jobs and in aviation you’re life is held accountable by the FAA and the people who are working that flight, they have to work and live up to a standard. I’m sorry if you’ve come across one bad person or so forth, but not eveyone is like that and not every flight is like that. If it is, the airline would know ASAP and get ahold of the situation, I promise you that.
@@thalexinator5050 As an Empath I salute you. You gained so much; it is all yours to keep without shame or sense of failure. Once my own pursuits aimed at your goal; lovingly you revealed the deep reality that existed beyond my reach in 1978. Think outside of the box. Perhaps if you were to allow a broader realm of possibility, you could feel, and BE yet undiscovered energy. I allowed myself the luxury of a full time Railroad career, with pension and benefits, as well as being an in-sitter at Bed and Breakfast Inns, attending cooking seminars, My beautiful surroundings are freely given to me.

Thank you so much! The man upstairs has a bigger and better plan for me, you can bet on it! I’m excited what the future aholds!
maybe you should have just joined the military 1st to break that home sickness
Unfortunately the military is not an option from me. Home will always be home-idc who you are. That experience was enough for me to get it out of my system.
You hit on a point here. There is a bit of a military mindset in the airline business. That is where most pilots are trained.
@@deepthinker999 thing is I’m not a pilot lol, but hear pilots do come from a lot of the military background.
@@thalexinator5050 Sorry that I was not more clear, it is a military way of doing things (including training) that permeates the organization to some extent. It is different than normal business training, because as you have said, passengers lives are at stake.
