What are some airline opportunities for flight attendants?

While most flight attendants are satisfied with their airline career and the everyday flying and going from one city to another, there are others who look for opportunities to move up the ladder. While a few positions allow flight attendants to move up with more reponsibilities and pay while still flying the line, most positions for advancement does not include flying the line.

Some of the positions you may consider after you become a flight attendant is to become a supervisor or assistant. These positions will require you to have the normal eight hour work day five days a week. But if you are getting burned out from working on the line, applying for an office position may be a benefit to you. Besides being home everynight, office positions tend to pay a little more than flying the line. Usually, the pay is based on a monthly guaranteed hours. For example, you might get an extra ten or fifteen hours guarantee over the minimum guarantee hours that flight attendants get each month.

Aside from the office positions at the airport flight attendant lounge area, there are also positions available at the headquarter. The positions vary, but most have to do with training. For example, a flight attendant instructor position. As a flight attendant instructor, you will typically work at the headquarter or training facilities providing training to new and current flight attendants. You also will not be working on the line and your pay would also be a higher monthly guarantee.

You can climb the corporate ladder within time if working in an office is something you can enjoy.
