I was asked by a friend about being an F/A in Aus so looked on here. I understand the excitement of getting a job, but knowing how these companies operate PLEASE read the contract VERY carefully - ideally with someone who understands airlines. Talk to someone getting off a flight about what it is like. Think very carefully about what it is like driving home from work and pulling over to throw up because you are so tired. Its the cumulative effect of extreme tiredness that gets you after a while. Any of you would get far better skills, earn way more money, be a lot less tired and stay much healthier working in a good restaurant. Can't help myself saying something. Everyone was enthusiastic once, believe me you will never find glamour in a hotel you hate or an aircraft galley.
