Pros

Life as a flight attendant is very flexible. I knew nothing about being a FA before I applied. I was pleased to learn that we have a 401K, company stock purchase program, health insurance, and a very flexible schedule once you are senior enough to hold a line. I love working for Alaska Airlines. There are many ways a person can start as a FA and work up in the company if they want to.

Cons

Starting out, FAs are on reserve (which means being on call). Reserve schedules are not very flexible, and reserve FAs are worked very hard.

Pros

The travel benefits are excellent, and the job offers opportunities to meet people from all over the world. My coworkers were supportive, teamwork was strong, and no two days were ever the same. The role helped me build confidence, improve customer service skills, and learn how to stay calm under pressure.

Cons

The schedule can be unpredictable, with long duty days, early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays away from family. The job can also be physically demanding, and dealing with difficult passengers can be stressful.
