We’ve come a long way since then, but flight attendants (the more politically correct term now) still hold an appeal. It’s a fascinating career few really know about, but many dream of having. Just how does one become an attendant, what is involved? How does one decide where to apply? Are there any specific requirements or qualifications for specific airlines?
