Okay I have a serious question? I want to be a flight attendent for none other then Delta Airlines, big suprise huh?
I want to do this as soon as they start there next training class as I have already put in my request.
I started with Delta as a ramp agent (CVG) thought it would be cool working outside under the planes.
Well it was for awhile then it got hot in the summer (sweltering) and freezing during the winter I mean like freakin cold. I can't stand the heat as I'm waaaay too pretty to sweat and hate being dirty.
So I moved upstairs (ticketing agent/gate agent) I love being up here the only real complaint that I have is that I'm still not close enough to the planes.
So I'd love to actually work on the planes as an F/A before working in the cockpit. Also the higher hrly. wage doesn't hurt either.
But one of my friends says that it's prolly looked badly upon by an airline if there pilots started out as flight attendents and then try to make the move up to the cockpit.
Also I'm afraid I might lose my focus of trying to build hours and learning to fly if I become a flight attendent. Because my friend is always tired after his trips and just usually sleeps on his days off from flying. And I'd need to be flying at least maybe once a week .
So like could that like really happen where I'm too tired all the time when I'm home from flying and sleep instead of learning to fly. And also do the airline frown on flight attendents applying for pilot positions if there qualified?
Does anyone know any pilots out there employed with an airline that started out as a flight attendent?
