Here in the US, we use the term flight attendants, and it is considered honorable work.  It would not even occur to Americans to "talk rubbish" about a young lady or her family because she worked as a flight attendant.  They are very important to flight safety!

First of all, determine the minimum qualifications for becoming a air hostess. There are certain physical attributes that are compulsory.\n\nIn addtion to that you must be fluent in English, Hindi (for an Indian airline) and one more foreign langauge. \n\nIf you know swimming its an additional asset. \n\nIf you already have these qualifications, straight away you can go for job interviews. Various airlines advertise regularly in the news papers and the internet for cabin crew.\n\nIf not, search the internet for various options like training schools/academies. Go for a govt recognized standard school, where you can get good training and one that has accredition. \n\nThen you can soar. All the best!!!!

Well I am a long haul flight attendant for a major airline - and I absolutley love it! Different airlines have different standards when it comes to hiring crew. Some airlines are more unfair than others however a good airline will hire someone based on merits rather than looks and age. I was 20 when recruited. In my intake I had people of all shapes, sizes, ages, sexuality, religion, backgrounds - the list goes on.\n\nAlthough not required to do any of the following they may be of an advantage - you may want to look at taking a short course in cabin crew (to show your interested and serious), working in the food and beverage industry (which is one of your primary functions onboard after safety), or study a 2nd language (I speak Japanese and get about an extra $500 of year because of this)\n\nIt's definately are very prestigous job and when walking through the terminal everyone just looks at you - it's an amazing feeling. Most people that travel know that becoming a flight attendant is not easy. more than 500 people applied and only 30 were selected at my intake.\nNot only are we waiters and cleaners, but nannys, policemen, firefighters, good listeners, entertainers, mechanics, plumbers, medics and most importantly are able to help evacuate a plane in an emgergency, which is the part of the training which takes the most. There is an 80% pass mark for tests and practicals when it comes to emergency procceduers and we are tested every 6 months.\n\nCareer wise there is plently of career progress. You start of as an economy attendant - but don't think business class is out of reach, I was also trained in business. From there you can become a dedicated Business Class and first class attendant which means you will 99% of the time work in these cabins unless called out of catergory. From there you can become a second senior, then a supervisor, then a manager. you could also become a trainer. You may decide to be invloved with many of the companies programs to develop better techniques on board.\n\nI learn dozens of new things everytime I fly. From other crew and the passengers. I might learn about a different city or why a governmentt has introduced a new policy. you'll also encounter many situations on board - some make you laugh and some will be a test of character. My favorite though is dealing with passengers that don't speak english. It's great fun trying to get the message to them such as what do you want to drink or sorry we've run out.\n\nIn regards to perks every airline has different perks. Although my airline doesn't give free tickets (and can't imagaine many that do) We get unlimited travel at nearly 95% off the price - Not bad. As a flight attendant your travelling to different places and getting to stay there in 5 star hotel\n\nThis is airline specific but I work on averaged over a 2 month period the equivlent of less than 4 hours a day. And I get plently of days off not only home but of course overseas.\n\nOf course there are a few downsides. You will miss birthdays etc. but that just means you have to celebrate when you get back - And you'll probably give better presents too that you've sourced from you adventures abroad. \n\nSo in conclusion - I love my job and if you have the opportunity to apply for an airline - Just try - you never know your luck and hope you get to be part of a very exiciting industry!!

Maybe you should consider an airport job rather than flight attendant since airlines want their attendants to live hear their hub.\n\nTo work for US Airways, which considers Pittsburgh one of its "focus cities", you need to be based in Phoenix, AZ.  I started to look up other airlines, but seems that each that services pittsburgh wants you to relocate to their "hub".\n\nI suggest you go to the pittsburgh airport website and check each airline's webpage for "careers".

The FAA does not hire flight attendants.  The airlines do.\n\nMost rules prevent convicted felons from obtaining such jobs - but it does depend on the nature of the crime and other factors.  Not all felony convictions automatically disqualify someone from employment.  But under the standards of Homeland Security there may be newer problems I do not know about.

"i need to know what are the best flight colleges or schools in the orlando area..."\n\nThe "best" is subjective. While many schools (colleges or flight schools) have a big brand name in the aviation community, that doesn't mean they are the best school for you. You should visit a variety of places and see which one fits your needs and your budget.\n\nThe larger names in FL are the Delta Connection Academy, Embry-Riddle Aero U, & Flight Safety. Places like this go from $60K to $100K. I suggest visiting the message boards at http://www.jetcareers.com as many schools have name specific folders where you can read about them. Additionally, the boards at http://forums.flightinfo.com have thousands of posts about such schools. Do a search for a specific name or "Orlando" and see what comes up.\n\n"...what are airlines looking for (in terms of education) on a pilot's resume"\n\nThe major airlines look for candidates with a bachelors degree. (The regionals an Associates.) The subject matter IS NOT IMPORTANT! You do not need an aviation degree to become a pilot. In fact, many suggest getting a degree in any subject other than aviation in case you ever find yourself laid off (like so many did after 9/11), as an pro pilot degree is useless to the rest of the working world.\n\nIf you are really interested in an Av degree, you can find schools at the University Aviation Association site- http://www.uaa.aero

To become a flight attendant can be quite challenging. I'm pretty sure you must have certificates in advanced swimming/rescue and in first-aid. Having a second language is an asset. You must have a highschool diploma, further education is also an asset. I think there are flight attendant schools you can attend. But most airlines still do intensive training of their recruits.
