As we look forward to future cabin crew job postings, are you ready to become a flight attendant? If you feel you are, try answering these questions and see how ready you really are. Now these are here to see how ready you are, for you to be clear about your “why”.
Passing the cabin crew physical requirements is simply not enough. If you want to be a cabin crew, you have to have the traits and character of one. There are a lot of people who are tall, have clear skin, they have the correct weight to height ratio, and are fit, but yet, they do not pass the airline screening process for flight attendants. Hence, it is time to examine ourselves and see how “cabin crewable” are we, on top of the physical requirements.
It is never too late to improve. We must realize that airline standards are really high. Hence, we have two choices. Either we work hard to reach the standards or just watch others make it in.

No one knows what’s in your heart but you yourself. After, try asking yourself again why.
