Unless you live in one of their domiciles, YES.\nThe exception being if you can commute to work.\n\nSouthwest only has domiciles in these cities:\nBaltimore/Washington, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Oakland, Orlando, and Phoenix.\n\nInitial base assignments are bid by "seniority", or the oldest to the toungest person in class. (This is how their schedules work too.)\n\nYou can live where you do now, however you will be required to work out of the city your are based in. That means in order to go to work, you must commute to one of the above domiciles to start your work day, unpaid and on your own time. For an early AM, that means coming in the day prior and paying to stay in a hotel or renting out pace in a communal "crash pad" (a place where crew members 'crash' when they have no place to go and don't live nearby. Usually an apartment.) \n\nSounds like you should educate yourself about the profession a bit.

I have a friend that works for Frontier Airlines and loves it. Small and friendly company with lots of opportunities to advance w/in the company. \nFor the most part it is difficult to break into the industry as flights are being cut back year by year. You would be lucky to get into any one of them and then once you get some experience you can switch.\nGood luck

Sure, as long as you can tolerate disgruntled customers who might miss their flight, alarms beeping when someone doesn't take their belt off, & saying "Sir, you CAN'T bring this on board."\n\nIf you can handle that, you'll be fine.\n\nUPDATE: Oh, yeah...frisking.

You need to apply through their web site. All of their upper level positions come through either auditions OR you have to work in the park FIRST. If you are hired, they will assist you with relocation.

No, the move has to be incident to changing jobs.  It does not matter what kind of job you are changing from or why.  The job change can be for either or both of you.  Go to the IRS website and search forms and publications for Moving Expenses.

It depends. If your work wants you to move there, then no. If you have to leave, go to a place you always wanted to live. I wish I moved to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. Don't let anyone dictate to you where you should live. Live life on your terms!

Air Hostess is a Flight Stewardess, right?

Apply with airlines that are hubbed at Reagan National,  Dulles, or Wash/Balt airports - or that simply fly routes to those airports.  Airlines need people living wherever they fly who can staff the routes.  You might need to work the ticket counter or gate, in addition to flight attendant duties.\n\nGood luck!

Well since you're moving in January then thats fact ! You have nothing to be shy about. You have a life just like others in which anything can happen. Just go up to your boss and tell him/her that You have something important to discuss and if he/she has time to discuss sit down with'em and tell them that due to whatever circumstances or family decision you will be moving therefore you would like to give notice. Your boss should appreciate your honesty of giving them a heads up in advance rather then just calling in one day and saying you won't be showing up. Atleast you're giving your boss a chance to find your replacement so they would infact appreciate it more.  So don't be shy about it, be very frank and profesional about it. Its a normal thing.

I have heard of many spouses flying from overseas back to the US on a mac flight but not with travel within the US.  I have to say many of the stories about mac flights are not the best though.  Your flight is almost never direct and whenever you have a "layover" if a military member needs your seat, you have to give it up.   You could easily be waiting a day or 2 to get another flight.  Not the best idea with kiddos.  Oh, also they don't pay for your accommodations if you get stuck.  Its probably best if you just pay for your flight.  Good luck though!

It's fine that you move to another state because all of the SSI checks all over the country is processed in one central location.  No, you would not have to start all over again.  Call 800-772-1213 and tell them your new address and when will you be moving as soon as possible before the 25th because the checks will be processing in preparation for the 1st of the month.

Different airlines have different staff travel bennefits. I am a longhaul flight attendant and although we don't get any free travel we get unlimited discounted travel. This rate is about 95% off the full fare price. So the most expensive flight would probably be under $1000USD and that would be travelling in Business Class. \n\nWhen overseas (and even at home) our Crew ID can get us discounts at hotels, theme park entry (I was in LA recently and at Disneyland got a 3 day pass for $99 instead of $169) \n\nThe hotels we stay at give us a discount on any hotel activities and room service. \n\nWe get a discount at duty free stores which is usually 20% off the duty free price, but not on electrical products :-( \n\nThe hotels we stay in are all 5 stars witha few 4 1/2 star hotels and are all paid for by the airline. We also get an allowance and although I don't see this as a perk as you need to to survive,but basically if you spend it wisely you can walk away with extra money when you return home. This allowance is on top of the salary.\n\nIn regards to crew meals this depends on the time of day and length of flight - There is always a snack onboard. On longer flights a meal which is of a business class standard is loaded. On really long flights two meals and a refreshment is laoded. We also eat leftovers from first and business class (as these are usually overcatered to allow most passengers to get thier choice) \n\nHowever the job does have it's downsides which I would like to point out. I do miss a lot of occasions such as birthdays, weddings, christmas etc. Also your body can take a bit of a hammering and although your in another city you'll be so tired you won't wanna do anything but sleep. \n\nBut I love my job and wouldn't trade it for anything.

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!
