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.

a good start would be to get your private pilots licence, rack up lots of flying hours then go for your commercial licence, once you have that, you've cracked it, good luck

I'm guessing you receive a nominal amount of pay.  However, be prepared for some "boot camp"-esque stuff.  I've heard that flight attendant training is extremely intense and only the best of the best survive.  There's probably an application to fill out.  After that, you'll probably get an interview.  If you pass the first interview, there will more than likely be a second, third, and maybe even fourth interview.  If you make it past all of those tests, you may be selected to start training.\n\nGood luck and best wishes!

you may want to look at applying to Emirates Airlines, if you want to be based in Dubai, as that is there natonal airline. You will require arabic or french as a second language. I used to work for them and lived in Dubai for 6 years.

1) HOW DO I BECOME A COMMERCIAL PILOT?\n\n CIVILIAN ROUTE\n1. Get your pilot certificates and ratings via a flying club or school at the local airport, a university aviation program. A newly certificated commercial pilot with instrument and multi-engine ratings usually has about 250 hours. This is not enough for the airlines*. (See note* at bottom)\n\n2. Build up flight experience until about 1,000 flight hours. Most regional airlines require pilots to have at least 1,000 hours of flight time, with 100 of that being in multi-engine aircraft and a Commercial/Multi/Instrument certificate. (An Airline Transport Pilot certificate is not required until you make captain.) Common time building jobs are: banner towing, skydive pilot, pipeline patrol, traffic watch or flight instruction (with the additional Certified Flight Instructor rating)\n\n3. Get a degree. You do not need a degree in aviation, but having a degree in any subject is a requirement to getting hired on at a major airline. The regionals aren't so picky. Many think they must have an aviation degree to have an edge but when or if you are ever furloughed during your career an aviation degree is useless.\n\n4. Upon reaching the magic 1,000 hours begin applying! Hopefully you will get hired. Learn to live on a budget as regional airline pay is not very good. After building up about 2,000-3,000 hours and "paying your dues" at a regional you then qualify for a job with a major carrier.\n\n5. Begin applying all over again at the majors.....\n\n* There are some airline academy programs (Delta Connection Academy, Mesa Ailines Pilot Development, Flight Safety among others) that offer a "quick entry" scheme into the right seat of a regional airline. They are very costly and do not guarantee a job, but an interview only. If you pass their program and the airline interview, you could very well be hired as a First Officer at 300-400 hours. Some are very pro this method while others in the industry are not as they feel it's "buying a job". Some academy grads will face discrimination during their career because of this.\n\nMILITARY ROUTE\nJoin the military and hope to get selected as a pilot candidate for one of the highly competitive openings. Manage to pass flight school (failure rate is about 25%). Become a military aviator. Don't get killed while serving your country. Get out after 12 years and apply to the airlines.\n\nVisit these informative sites for more info:\nhttp://www.jetcareers.com\nhttp://www.flightinfo.com\n\n2) HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?\nIt takes as little as 18 months but more often 2-3 years to get hired by a regional airline as a First Officer (the starting point in the industry for airline pilots) .\n\nThe usual route to the airlines is flight training for the Private license, Instrument rating, Commercial license and multi-engine rating in about 12-18 months. Quite often a person will also get their Flight Instructor certificate and teach as a way to build flight time. The regional airlines hire people with 1,000 hours of flight time. (You don't need 1,500 hours and the Airline Transport Pilot certificate to get hired, although it makes you a better candidate.) Once a new commercial pilot with 250 hours has instructed or built up time via other small jobs, which takes another 12-18 months, they can apply at 1,000 hours and be hired by a regional airline. For about 85-90% of the industry, this is the usual route. It costs about $40,000-50,000. (Sometimes considerably more depending on where you go.)\n\nThere are also some "academy" style programs that will train you for the PPL, Instrument, Commercial, & ME in 12-18 months, plus some airline style ground school, then offer a pilot an interview with an affiliated regional at substantially reduced flight times. This method of training often costs $60,0000-$80,000 and doesn't guarantee a job- only an interview. If the candidate passes it successfully, they will g

An aspiring civilian pilot can do their flight training and earn their licenses & ratings via these routes:\n\nA university aviation program \nAn aviation academy program \nA local flight school or flying club \n\nYou can do your training any way you wwish and once you build up 1,000 hours of experience you can then apply to a regional airline. Many regionals do not require a degree, hoever to get on with a major you will need a 4 year degree in any major. There are aviation universities, but you do not have to major in aviation to become a pilot.\n\nMy flight training and pilot career website explains How To Become A Pilot, espcially for those on the career track.

Landing one is not as simple as enlisting! You could do so and find yourself not awarded a pilot slot. To find out all about being a military pilot, go to the forums at Military.com.

I think first of all you need to be at least 18 years old.  Applicants can be Malaysians and other nationalities.  A pleasant disposition is a bonus.  There is a rigorous training regime that includes emergency procedures ad ettiquette.\n\nYou should contact SIA if you are really interested in a career with them.

If you like the open road, then being a long distance truck driver is the way to go. If you like to fly, then be a pilot or flight attendant.

Qualifications used to be 3 years work experience and no bachelors degree were necessary.\n\nAs a military controoler, you should have the ability to direct-hire into the FAA without much hassle.\n\nDo your homework.  The FAA is embarking on a hiring binge.  They want to hire roughly 600-650 new people each year.  If you have prior work experience, you can be sure you will be noticed.\n\nLook into the NATCA web page for employment opportunities.  They can be more help than I.\n\nATCS at Cleveland Center ARTCC

Questions at the airline interview are the most important factor for the recruiters as it allows them to get a real glimpse of who you are, what you know about customer service, etc.. My guide has all of the current questions, over 90 of them, with answers. You need to be ready to give the recruiter the answer they are looking for, because there are right and wrong ways to answer these questions!!!\n\nSome sample questions include:\n\nQuestion: Why do you want to be a flight attendant? \n\nWrong answer: Because I would like the free travel and I like people. \n\nRight answer: I would love to be a flight attendant for ____________ Airlines, because I have exceptional customer service skills and the ability to interact with people on a professional and personal level is one of my best assets. I know I would be an excellent representative of this airline.\n\nQuestion: Finish this sentence: I don't like it when people...\n\nWrong answer: Annoy me.\n\nRight Answer: Feel dissatisfied. I always go out of my way to make sure my customers are happy and are receiving superior customer service.\n\nQuestion: You are working onboard the aircraft when you are approached by a passenger who tells you he/she cannot sit in the seat they are assigned because of the ethnicity of the other passenger. What do you do?\n\nWrong answer: Tell them we do not tolerate prejudice and they will have to take their assigned seat.\n\nRight answer: I would be professional and discreet. I would maintain calmness in the cabin, and quickly reseat the passenger. If the aircraft were full, I would notify the agent and seek assistance in reseating the passenger.

It's pretty easy to learn what qualifications airlines think are important in the people they hire to be flight attendants.  Check out sites like these and just be prepared to demonstrate in your interview that you possess these qualities.

Basically you have to go through your basic progression and then get a lot of freefall time in.  Once you have a good amount of time in (and have shown an aptitude) you might be accepted on an instructor course. Assuming you pass this you could progress to separate AFF, tandem etc certification - this varies per country.\n\nIn terms of pay, as I understand it you can make a living but you wont get rich (this is assuming you are in a country that jumps all year and has decent weather!).  Getting additional certification will help.\n\nI would suggest that you go on an AFF course and see if you have any aptitude and enjoy it before getting any higher ambition.\n\nHope that helps - drop me a line if you want to talk about it.\n\nBlue skies =8-)

No.  The qualities I like are helpful and courteous.  And I think the job title changed to "flight attendant" about 20 years ago.
