How Old Should You Be?

In the first few days of training to be a flight attendant, it becomes very apparent that you can't be just any "old" age and be an effective flight attendant.

Some of me fellow trainees are just barely old enough to qualify, meaning they are 21 and can serve liquor.

Others, like me are not so spry of step, no... my knee is just fine  : - ).


Still others can enroll in AARP, and quite possibly could draw SSI.

So my question is....How "old" is too old to be a flight attendant?

You must take into consideration several factors..

    1) Do you have a pleasant disposition?

    2) Do you have the mobility to accomplish all the various bending, lifting and twisting maneuvers we are called upon to perform?

    3) Do you have the mental capacity to adjust, on the fly, to the multitude of attitudes, demeanor's, and personality types that will be boarding the planes each and every day?

    4) Can you complete a shift without begrudging another flight attendants performance of ability?


If you find that the answer to any of these four (4) simple questions is "no", then feel free to skip the next interview session? (please notice beauty is NOT a factor)

Having a blast laughing at all the drama (33) women can muster.
