I found it was easier to create a Dropbox account. I also logged in with LinkedIn because it allows you to save a resume from the database. With Dropbox, Word was more compatible.

I'm retiring from one career and am interested in becoming a flight attendant. Are their height and/or weight restrictions?

Hi @Julieaedna -- We love that you are interested in joining our Team, and congratulations on your retirement from your current career! There are no specific height/weight restrictions for this position. However, as part of our Flight Attendant handbook, a Flight Attendant’s weight must be of such proportion to height that a neat appearance is maintained and the physical ability to perform all job functions is not hindered. A Flight Attendant must be able to perform all job functions including, but not limited to, the following physical performance standards:

  • The ability to, facing forward, walk and fit comfortably down the aircraft (or aircraft mockup) aisle
  • The ability to quickly fit through the over-wing window exit
  • The ability to fit into a jump seat shoulder harness without modification, including closure without a seat belt extension
  • The ability to lift items of up to 50 pounds from floor to shoulder height
  • The ability to assist Customers with carryon items, including lifting carryon items from floor to above shoulder level with assistance

Compliance with physical performance standards is measured during Initial Training and at any time an Inflight Leader may make a reasonable and good faith determination that the Flight Attendant’s physical size may impair the performance of Flight Attendant duties. Also, only standard uniform sizes are available. Men’s uniforms range in waist size from 28 to 42 inches. Women’s uniforms range in size from 0 to 18. No tailor-made uniforms are permitted.

 

We hope to see your application on the 5th!
