I have a college degree and a pilot's license. Could I be a flight attendant?

Question:
I also speak two foreign languages.

where can i find the passenger list for flight number 305 11/24/71 DB COOPER?


I've heard that some flight attendants go on to train to become pilots with the airline and the airline will defray the full cost of their flight training, or at least a good chunk of it. Is this true?

Answers:

Does anyone have a detailed list of American Airlines' fleet?

Sean,
I have a feeling that it's all about the interview. FA's have to be friendly people, your qualifications sound great to me, but if you are a jerk (not saying you are or aren't), I would be surprised if you were to get the job. Also, and I hate to mention this, but I'm learning myself that it is a fact of life, especially in aviation. . . Appearance counts for a lot, I'm a hell of a nice guy, and generally interview well, but I'm missing a front tooth (diving-board accident), it makes me look like a hill-billy. I have little doubt that I'll need to get that fixed before I interview with the airlines. Really, if you already have your private, and flying is really what you want to do, I think you should consider doing it like a lot of others, lay out the money (or loans in my case), and go to school to get your ratings. Company's say a lot, I would be doubtful if I saw an airline telling anyone that they would cover the cost of training (unless it was the owner's child or something). Besides, there are too many prospective pilots out there that also have their degrees (mines' in aviation maintenance), the difference between you and them, they will already have their ratings, very little training will be needed for them, you will have to start almost from scratch. Also, if I understand correctly, english is the language of aviation, so your foreign languages, while nice to know, won't be of much help when it comes time to fly (might be good for the FA position though). Whatever you choose to do, good luck!

About the certificate/license thing, that's funny, the FAA seems to think that they are very black-and-white about everything!

Not true....
Could you be a FA? apply and find out! With the pilots certificate (NOT A LICENSE! If you really do have one, look at it it has a certificate number, not a license number!!)It might put you in the front of the line to be interviewed.

What do fighter pilots do if they have to #1 or #2 on a long mission?

Sure, you'd be very well qualified to be an FA. Airlines love FA's who speak foreign languages. I don't know any airlines that require FA's to have a college degree, so that would look great too. Most of the people you'd be competing against won't have either of those things going for them.

What are some careers in the avaition (mainly helicopters) industry?


Having a pilot license won't make any difference for getting an FA position.

what are the advantages and disadvantages of low cost and no frills domestic airline?


I've never heard of an airline paying for an FA to train as a pilot.

Do anyone think that there can be a way to reduce the fuel prices in aircrafts??


BTW, pa28_180flyer's answer about "license" being the incorrect term is wrong. The words "license" and "certificate" are interchangeable. The FAA uses both on it's web site [ http://www.faa.gov/pilots/become/... ]. For example:

Why do planes fly at such high altitude?


>>>
FAA’s rules for getting a pilot’s license (certificate) differ depending on the type of aircraft you fly. You can choose among airplanes, gyroplanes, helicopters, gliders, balloons, or airships. If you are interested in flying ultralight vehicles, you don’t need a pilot’s license.

Are there any colleges in the UK which offer Aeronautical Science degrees aswell as flight training?

hahahahaha, no. The airline will most likely not defray the cost of your flight training. Most airlines still have a backlog of pilots on furlough they can hire back for no money.

what is that hoses that are connected on the belly of an aircraft?


You could be a flight attendant though. (Honestly it might be a better job than being a junior pilot these days). Depending on what two languages you speak you could be a shoe-in for international flights. (To further increase your odds, pick up some Sign Language)
