That’s exciting! hoping it went well! 🙏🏼

Ord has some really god Caribbean too!

This is awesome to hear! I'm 45 and always wanted to be a flight attendant. I applied 2 days later got an email did my assessment the next day I got a text for a phone interview. 20min later I got an email. Cheyenne Wyoming is freezing cold for a floridian, but I am 100% in. So excited!! After I get the hang of the industry I am Looking to become a pilot.

Yes it is. For my airline it used to be junior but is not really anymore

I would say ask around to flight attendants you may know who work for the company like maybe try and reach out on instagram or ask your instructors! Check out the app called flight view (just make sure to turn off code shared in settings) you can search specific routes and days of the week

Hi! Is there any update. Today I have just interviewed with SkyWest. How long do we have to wait for the result?

@@dhrayoga i didn't have to do a ftf with Skywest and I was asked to attend training for Skywest but couldn't go due to time of training...my son graduates this month, and it would have coincided with that. Got a CJO at mainline and waiting to hear on training. Good luck to you with everything!

@@Bamaflier coool congrats to you by the way do u have any idea for training at SkyWest do we have to pay for training?

If you get a training offer, you will pick bases in training :)

You basically have to give yourself enough options to get to base. You are only allowed so many times per year where you are covered by the commuter policy.

The only airline I know that bases for Chicago is Frontier but there is probably more!

ORD has American, united, frontier, spirit, envoy, skywest Midway has southwest

Same question

Lately I have seen people getting their transfer after only a few months but I have not checked as of this winter what it’s looking like

So far from what I’ve been told, yes they are!

Miami for us is senior and we also have trips out of FLL and PBI… for some airlines FLL might be more junior like spirit and frontier has MCO

Not necessarily. It’s all personal preference because even in central and east coast trips we have early returns. Keep in mind if you are a west coast base you might still have a 4 am wake up during a layover on the east coast which is technically 1 am west coast!

Same...I would like to know as well.

Yeah you can commute from really anywhere! As long as you show up to your base on time for trips it’s okay

Pilot, but it’s the same for FAs, you don’t pay for any flights, and airlines will not pay to relocate unless you get forced out of a base due to it closing or downsizing and your seniority can no longer hold that base.

You won’t be able to be based there right away because they don’t take new hires but you could eventually transfer. It’s could possibly take 1-3 years give or take if they don’t choose to grow it a lot

My airline gives you a 2 hours call out which means you have A minimum of two hours to get to the airport so plan accordingly when choosing your apt for commute options

Yes! Many new hires are being sent to PHL right now

Hi. I’m in Syracuse NY too. I have my 1st FA interview wednesday 3/9/22. Base is Philadelphia. I’m hoping to commute If I get the position🤞🙏

@@brendatricome9116 I didn’t get it sadly. So have to wait 6 months then I will reapply.

@@xlprincess123567 I’m sorry to hear that! Hopefully Something better will open up for you🤞🙏

Lately it has been but it only has a few spots available for some reason

It will all depend on the airline and what bases they have available during training!

@@TheDailyDeparture I’m trying to join your airline. I’ll wait to see what they offer me in training if I get selected ❤️🤞🏽

Yeah!

For my airline it is relatively junior :) but also this is currently because sometimes that can change

My airline doesn’t have an MCO base so I’m not sure for which airline you’re looking at?

For DL its senior from what I’ve heard

Yes. Currently airlines are requiring vaccines for flight crew!

I’m sorry you feel that way. As I mentioned in the video and many others (as well as on my instagram) bases are always bid and then awarded based on seniority. This video is meant to be informative to help people figure out which bases might be a fit for them, once they know what’s available. As you said yourself “list your preferences” -> this video is intended to help people figure out which order to places their preferences. And if they don’t get their top choice, they can always request a transfer! Additionally, if they know they won’t get their top choice, this video can help them figure out which city will be the best to commute to. If you feel differently, feel free to make a video that explains it better to help new hires! 👍🏼
