Absolutely not!  Anyone who tells you that you can sign up with their school and learn to be a Sr. Flight Attendant obviously doesn’t know the industry!  That is NOT how it works.  Everyone who goes to work for an airline starts at the bottom in seniority and works their way up in seniority.  Only the airlines can give you their special training to teach you how fly as one of their Sr. Flight Attendants.

I would highly recommend for all future flight attendants to take the Flight Attendant Express course. The reason is straightforward; you have a competitive edge on the recruitment process. When an open house attracts over 250 applicants and only 25 openings, where do you fit in? I have attended many open houses where an overwhelming amount of furloughed flight attendants and applicants with no experience at all are competing for the same job. Wendy Stafford assesses your strengths and weaknesses and builds your interviewing skills to ensure you have prerequisites for what those recruiters are looking in a candidate. It is also imperative that this course goes above and beyond any book published out there. The ingredient is in the human interface and visual perception that the course provides. That is worth the investment in your future career, for a job you will love to come to work for everyday!
Sincerely,

Dear Flight Attendant Express:

I cannot thank you enough for the valuable training and knowledge I received from your training course. Thanks to you, Wendy, and your valuable seminar, I have been able to pursue and acquire my dream job as a flight attendant with a major airline. I interviewed with Jetblue Airways March 18, 2004 and started my training on April 14, 2004!! I have been happily flying ever since. I love this job. It is the best job in the world! Thanks to you, I became the flight attendant that I had always dreamed about being. Hopefully, soon I will be flying with other new flight attendants that have traveled through your course. Thanks again.

I have been hired by two major airlines and I owe it all to Flight Attendant Express. I took the seminar and they were very helpful in giving me all the pertinent information that was required.

It has recently come to our attention that people who may be interested in becoming flight attendants are being discouraged by well-meaning friends or family members, from pursuing a flight attendant career.  If you let someone dash your hopes, you may not have the passion required for the job after all.  And usually those who want to destroy your dreams, don’t have any dreams of their own!

There are also flight attendants out there that will tell you that you don’t need a class to get you into the airlines.  Keep in mind that the competition has gotten much tougher now; a few years ago, airlines would hire about 10% of all who applied - now it is only 3 to 5%, and the failure rate in training is over 30 per cent!  If you get invited to training and don’t succeed, you are back where you started.

If you are turned down by an airline, you will need to wait 6 months to a year to re-apply with that company, so it’s important to get it right the first time - do you really want to take a chance on going to an interview without preparation?

Our class is not just 4 days – there is a study guide you will get before class that requires 2 full weeks of home study.  Many people have seen companies who advertise Flight Attendant training and their courses last for 12 weeks or more.  These companies are probably good for those who aspire to be travel agents or airline reservations agents, but have very little in the way of flight attendant preparation and are taught by travel agents - YOU DON’T WANT A TRAVEL AGENT TRAINING YOU TO BE A FLIGHT ATTENDANT!  These companies typically tell callers that airlines want you to be cross-trained – not true!  Airlines are more concerned about your customer service experience than whether or not you know how to book a reservation or a cruise!  Flight Attendants do not do reservations or cruises, and you are wasting your money (usually $5,000 - $7,000) paying for these things.

Get training from the Flight Attendant experts - all of our flight attendants have had years of experience and we are in contact with airlines on a daily basis.  We are also members in good standing of the Better Business Bureau.  Don’t be fooled - come to the best of the best to learn properly.
