Hi Margaret! Hows the flying going? I'm also a realtor and 55 and just applied to Delta. Wondering if this is the right path to go..... how has it been for you???

I AM A FLIGHT ATTENDANT! I was hired at age 64 and I turn 65 this NOV. 2022. If you can make it thru training and pass everything you are taught - you are eligible. i love my job and work full time. This is my retirement gig. I taught high school 31 yrs and sold real estate 6 yrs. See you in the skies. I am single and love this job.

This is a great video! I started training at 39 with AA...the most senior trainee in my class was 67! I flew for 21 years and retired 3 years ago after USAir came in and basically dismantled what was left of the AA brand. With it went AA scheduling/work rules that made me go from loving my job to dreading it. At that point it was no longer something I enjoyed- The last straw for me was being pushed back onto a rotating RSRV system after being off for years. I miss the job I had, not the one I left... That being said, if you have a passion for this industry and are healthy , age is not a barrier. Better to go for it and know vs never trying and always wondering 🙂

I have considered applying for one of the "low cost" carriers, but the Glassdoor reviews are terrible, however - I live in Dallas and they will be hiring and opening a Dallas base next year.

I think that if an older person - say 50s or 60s - a person who may not be in the position as long in order to see some of these dividends. They might go into it with different goals in mind other than huge salaries and or even set - not-on-reserve - schedules due to reserve years.

There is not a 'limit' so to speak. But, you owe the company for whatever they have to pull. So if I get a trip pulled for the commuter clause they can add a trip to my board if needed, or you offer days off to pick up something. I've heard varying stories about how this plays out. I've used it twice but for reserve and was usually able to get there on the next day. I'm not sure why I never vlogged about it. 🤷‍♀️

Qantas Australian Fight Attendant are so old that sometimes I am afraid to ask them for assistance as look like they need assistance! Also they are so bored with the job ? Can’t provide any good service any more

Oof. That's tough. I don't know how that situation could be handled...I assume they go through yearly training to make sure they can do all the things. Hopefully they aren't just passing them through without having the ability to do all the safety procedures.

You can't even spell flight attendant. What's a "fight attendant," a MMA ring girl? 😂 Get over yourself. They aren't bored, just experienced. What do you consider "good service?" You sound like you want a 20-year-old ego-stroking girl to serve your chicken or beef. Get a gf and let us do our job...which is SAFETY and unfortunately at times, first aid and dealing with inflight emergencies.

Bette Nash just died, May of 2024. RIP, Bette.

@@MoxieMartha I had a mainline Delta jumpseater recently. She is in her mid 70s with like 50 years seniority, commuting to base for a flight to Nice! Must be nice! But I love it. There is no need for people to stop working if they don't want to. Not even to help me boost my seniority. 😬😏😜

Really? Where is this?

I applied for a flight attendant position for US Air back in 2003-4 time frame after working 15 years in a supermarket. I wasn't called in for an interview and ended up working in Healthcare. I think you are too nice to be a teacher. Just kidding. ☺

I loved teaching. The parents ruined it. 😂😂

The first flight attendant was Ellen Church and she flew for the predecessor of United Airlines. At that time, they were hiring women who were nurses to help people feel safer. I'm not sure where you get the idea that the first flight attendants were men.

What is maximum age.

There is no max age as far as I know. As long as a FA can complete the required tasks and passed recurrent training yearly I think they can work as long as they want.

When I look at the graduating classes of all airlines on Facebook I see diversity but still not that many older people.

I definitely think each airline has a "type". I feel like my company is pretty good at grabbing up the older folks.

I didn’t know there was an age limit to be an FA or any job for that matter. Isn’t that considered discrimination??

There isn't now. There used to be. But, some folks think they won't be considered because of age. 😉

Hi! New subscriber here. Airplanes have always fascinated me but I had never thought about that i could actually WORK on one until one of my brothers went through training a few years ago to become an airline mechanic. So I started looking at the FA career about the time this pandemic hit. I quickly learned that I have too much debt to make it on a beginner FA salary. Long story short, I’ll be 42 this summer. In early 2000’s I have put in over 13 years of EMS experience and I truly miss working with people one on one. So until that FA career door opens, it’s full throttle to becoming debt free so I can enjoy my retirement career without financial stress.
