✈️ Who's Hiring, Final Delta Insights & Why Seniority is Everything


Hello Reader,

As February comes to a close, it's incredible to reflect on how swiftly time flies. March is just two days away, and I'm excited to share some personal updates and what's on the horizon at Future Flight Attendant.​

On a personal note, tomorrow is a significant day as my son undergoes wisdom teeth removal. While striving to keep my worries at bay, any positive thoughts are greatly appreciated!​

March will be dedicated to refreshing and updating our existing website content.

The aviation industry evolves rapidly, and ensuring that Future Flight Attendant remains your most reliable and up-to-date resource is my top priority. Each article involves 10-12 hours of meticulous research to provide you with accurate and valuable information.

Who's Hiring Flight Attendants

Southwest opened applications to external applicants on Tuesday, and unfortunately, the window was so unexpected and short that we missed it!

I knew they would be opening, and I was waiting for it, but they didn't tell anyone; they just did it. I'm hoping they open flight attendant applications again soon.

🇺🇸You can see the list of airlines hiring flight attendants on the Future Flight Attendant Job Board.

💡 Tip of the Week: Seniority is Everything in Aviation

Seniority is everything in aviation. The sooner you get hired, the faster you move up the list, and that means better schedules, higher pay, and more control over your career.

Waiting even a few months can put you behind thousands of people, and once you’re at the bottom, you never get ahead of the people in front of you unless they leave the airline.

If becoming a flight attendant is your goal, don’t wait. Get prepared now.

Why Seniority Matters:

  • Preferred Scheduling: With increased seniority, flight attendants gain more flexibility, allowing them to make more money by getting off of reserve and holding more productive trips.
  • Make More Money: The sooner you get hired, the sooner you get a raise!

I compared the pay at Southwest Airlines, which has the highest-paid flight attendants. They can make more or less, but it gives you a good idea of why getting hired sooner is always better than later.

Southwest Airlines: May 2024 Pay Rates

First Year Pay: $35.82

Reserve Guarantee: 78 TPF (Trips for Pay)

Per Diem: $300 (It could be more or less.)

Monthly Total: $4,000.00+ This will vary depending on TFP

💸 Yearly Total: $51,600

Top-Out Pay: $90.59

100 Flight Hours (including TFP): $10,500 (Can vary depending on TFP)

Per Diem: $300 (It could be more or less.)

Monthly Total: $10,800

💵 Yearly Total: $129,600

Take Action Now

The sooner you get hired, the faster you move up the seniority list, and that makes all the difference. More money, better schedules, and better opportunities all come with time in the industry.

So if I take care of him, I'm stuck getting it too! My daughter said kids have been coming up to her in school saying they got...
