How to become a flight attendant
To work in Europe you need the cabin crew attestation (CCA). It is available from age 18 after theory and practical training at an approved centre, often within a few months, and an exam supervised by the civil aviation authority: in France, a multiple-choice test of at least 70 questions plus safety, first-aid and water tests. Airlines usually also require a school-leaving qualification, very good English, medical fitness and the ability to swim. In other countries, airlines train new hires and the aviation authority certifies them; check local rules. The G-Learn trial is the first step to find out whether the job suits you; its certificate is not a diploma.
Pay
According to Onisep, beginner cabin crew in France start from €1,867 gross a month at low-cost airlines, and about 30% more at major airlines. Allowances and flying hours change real income.
The hard parts
- Hours are highly irregular: pre-dawn starts, weekends and public holidays.
- Long periods standing, cabin pressure and jet lag tire the body.
- You must handle stressed or aggressive passengers while staying friendly.
