I know a couple flight attendants, and while there are some cons, there are some pros too...

- one chick I know is making 60-70K

- you and whomever is on your list fly anywhere for free, then you also get buddy passes you can sell if you want

- while you are gone 3 or 4 days, my friend will then be off like a week. Schedules get a lot better the longer you are there.

- I know she gets ton of sick days

That fly for free bonus is huge to me...especially if you trying to go somewhere on short notice...traveling less than 14 days out can mean hundreds of dollars

Pros: You could move keys for a nikka


Cons: You might end up doing time though

But if you don't get caught and leave the biz while you on top you could retire to a beach somewhere in the bahamas when you still young

The fly for free thing is on standby though right?

You may not realize it, but flight attendants are basically the airplane equivalent of those rhesus monkeys NASA used to launch into space. As they take your crap with big, fake smiles on their faces, you might notice that those faces are flushed and sweaty because flight attendants are very likely to get sick. In fact, their health is so poor that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention actually has an entire program that examines and evaluates flight crews for things like infectious diseases, mold and the constant barrage of cosmic radiation that affects every flight (most of us don't fly enough to be affected by it).

Honestly, how many of you have a job so crappy that scientists study you to determine the experimental mystery diseases you might catch just by showing up for work? And to be clear, this isn't just a preventative measure in case something happens in the future -- most flight attendants rate their physical health from "fair" to "poor." Being packed into an airtight tube with 200 other people every day will make you sick.

As for how the job affected their mental health, on a scale of 1 to 12 (with 1 being "I'm cool" and 12 being "You probably had to slide this test under the door of my padded cell"), most ended up with a score of 6 or higher. In total, 17 percent of flight attendants showed signs of psychological distress. The biggest complaints were low job satisfaction and sexual harassment by passengers.
Then there's the being-away-from-home part. If flight attendants have families, they might as well leave them all in the woods and hope some kind wolves raise them, because they're going to be staying in hotels most of the time and spending about 80 to 90 hours a month in-flight. That's not counting the time they spend waiting in the airport and things like that.

And, of course, if we're going to talk about flying, we have to mention terrorism. (It's a law. Listen carefully next time you see Starscream on The Transformers.) Nowadays, flight attendants have to be trained to spot suspicious activity and, in case shyt gets real, they have to know self defense as well. Plus, if someone gets sick or hurt, they have to be fully trained in first aid and CPR. How much is a free flight to Barbados once a year worth to you?

Then there's the everyday stuff. Like everyone else who works in customer service, flight attendants have to put up with dikkheads, some of whom will apparently do things like kick them if they don't bring another drink. Only it's worse, because airline customers are probably going to be some of the shyttiest to deal with, since no one likes all the bullshyt that goes along with flying.

THis is on point

Being a flight attendant seems like it would be fun, traveling the world one adventure after another lol. I think it would be a great experience for the young and unattached.

Am I the only person that has never been on a plane with a young flight attendant? All of the ones I see are around 35-50 age range.
