Dear Heather,

I do not know one flight attendant who has gone to a school offering a certificate or diploma to become a flight attendant that has actually become a flight attendant. I believe those schools are a waste of time and money and do not recommend them at all. In fact, one of the reasons I’ve shied away from advertising offers on my personal blog is because I do not want those kinds of ads, flight attendant training school ads, associated with my name. I refuse to endorse something I do not believe in.
If you want to become a flight attendant, apply to the airlines directly. Each airline has their own training program that can range from two to seven weeks long.

I strongly disagree with you as your writing is skewed solely towards airlines. I am a corporate flight attendant and our training costs around 3k every year. However our training is more refined and intense than a airline flight attendant.
I’m glad you said that, because I have a few questions. How do you know your training is more refined and intense? In what way?
I have worked as a corporate flight attendant (writing about it now) and I found the job to be so easy, I felt useless.
email me directly. I’d like to ask you a few questions!
