October 15, 2026 | Crew Briefing Hello Reader, The fall festivities are continuing over here, and this week I wanted to share another little behind-the-scenes glimpse. That little red building in the photo is the smokehouse. My dream is to get it set up again so we can use it as an "outdoor" kitchen. The leaves are getting ready to peak, and I'm out taking pictures every day. I’ve been getting emails from a lot of you saying you’re enjoying these personal pictures, and I’m thrilled. Most of...

October 8, 2026 Crew Briefing Hello Reader, Welcome Aboard! Between airline hiring alerts and Prime Big Deal Days, you’ve heard plenty from Future Flight Attendant this week. So today, I’m doing something different. I want to share a little about myself and why I care so much about your future. Because becoming a flight attendant isn’t just about getting a job. It’s about the possibilities for your life. The Career That Opened Doors I’ve always been adventurous. At 19, I was living in Rome...

Hello Reader, If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you may have noticed that the Future Flight Attendant website has undergone a huge refresh lately. There’s a reason for that. I decided to work with a business coach because FFA means so much to me, and I want to build it into the best resource it can be for aspiring, new, and even current flight attendants. I still do the work. A lot of it. But having an experienced professional look at my business from the outside has helped...

Hello Reader, There’s a moment in this process when everything you’ve been working toward suddenly becomes real. The application turns into an interview. The interview turns into a CJO. And before you know it, you’re looking at a training date and realizing, Oh. I actually have to do this now. That shift can be exciting, but it can also bring an entirely new set of questions. What do I pack? What will training really be like? How much should I prepare ahead of time? What happens if I don’t...

Hello Reader, I hope you’re having a great week so far! Over the past few days, my inbox filled with questions from people searching for the Atlas Air flight attendant application. The difficult part was knowing that by the time many of those emails reached me, the position had already closed. There was no missing link I could send and no way to reopen that window for them. It made me think about how easy it is to believe we have more time than we actually do. For anyone working toward a...

Hello Reader, ✈️ Welcome Aboard Tomorrow marks 25 years since September 11, 2001. I wasn’t a flight attendant yet. At the time, I was living in Hawaii, but I had come back to Pennsylvania for a visit. My original flight back to Hawaii was scheduled to leave JFK on September 11 at around 8:32 that morning. A few days before, I decided to change my plans and head home early. On the morning of September 11, my roommate woke me up. Her boyfriend, who was a Marine, had called to tell us what was...

Hello Reader, Deanna here from Future Flight Attendant. Remember how I told you that American Airlines was opening applications this coming Monday at midnight? Well, you know that I also said in this week’s Crew Briefing: the only thing concrete in aviation is the runway. American Airlines just pulled that specific timeframe and replaced it with a vague "soon." Don't let it stress you out. Keep your eyes open and stay ready because it is still happening. Airlines love to keep us on our toes!...

Hello Reader, There is something wonderfully fitting about American Airlines opening applications for flight attendants just as Labor Day begins. While most of the country is sleeping or wrapping up a long holiday weekend, future flight attendants will be sitting at their computers applying for a career that could completely change the way they work, travel, and live. Delta Air Lines opened applications yesterday. American is expected to follow around 12:00 a.m. ET on Monday, September 7,...

Hello Reader, Delta Air Lines is expected to open flight attendant applications today! These openings often remain available for only a short time, so I recommend applying as soon as the application goes live. You can apply from the Future Flight Attendant Job Board. If Delta is not yet marked as HIRING on the job board, check the link anyway. I do not know exactly what time applications will open, but you can use the job board to access Delta’s official flight attendant application page. For...
