A good Flight Attendant must be a quick critical thinker and problem solver, as unexpected occurrences regularly happen on flights, so they must be fast at making logical decisions. They should also have great customer service and communication skills to regularly collaborate with other crew members and passengers. An impressive candidate is fluent in multiple languages, especially if they plan to work on any international airlines.
Flight Attendants often spend the entirety of their job on an airplane traveling to various regions, states or even countries. If a Flight Attendant works domestically, they’ll often travel to different states around the country and should be willing to work non-traditional hours during both night and daytime shifts, along with holidays or weekends. Flight Attendants who serve on international airlines may work over 12 hours at a time since they remain on duty throughout the entire flight.
