  • You will actually get Stipend during training. But room and board is paid by AA. If you finish the Training the reward is a great career. The longer you stay the better it gets. Look around, why do you think we old Flight attendants is still around. life is good.

  • It is a college and IF you PASS and IF you are selected you maybe offered a job. Have you been to a higher education school? Trade School, High School? Where did they pay you to go? I would love to find a school like that.

  • Don’t need you then. It happened to me 33 years ago and I am still working. Room and full board is paid.

  • I don’t understand the shock over the unpaid training. No company paid me while I went to college, let alone paid *for* my college education. Here, at least, the company is paying for the training.

  • And again something explaining why not one single US carrier is within the TOP 20 range. Dumbness (speaking just one language) is enough for a multiethnic and international job. Shame on AA

  • I went to nursing school. We spent several weeks unpaid in the different medical specialities learning the skills to work there. I paid tuition to attend school. Having passion for what you are training for is the first requirement of this career.

    I didn’t get paid for 6 months during student teaching, so get over it! It’s a great opportunity to see the world, and if you stay with it they have fairly decent schedules and pay!

    Reply
  • It is not paid because they are giving you a carrer that you haven’t studied for, you are going to be a professional flight attendant after you pass the training. t’s unpaid because they are giving you a carrer that you haven’t studied for, you are going to be a professional flight attendant after you pass the training. So it’s a good opportunity for someone who has not a professional title, and if you have one related to the work, you’ll probably have a better professional development.

  • Unpaid training?? Really 6 1/2 weeks unpaid.

    Reply
  • That’s better than a Pilot or AMT in which you have to spend tons of your own cash and show up already qualified…..don’t see the problem of free training.

  • 6 1/2 weeks Unpaid Training is NUTS. Sustain me!!!!

  • AA Pays for your room and board SMH

  • As a traveler I would feel extra assured to fly with flight attendants possessing the qualities you are looking for in hiring. May one expect that salaries and benefits will reflect the multi-faceted requirements for the positions so specifically outlined?

  • Seriously so when I move to Texas for 6 1/2 weeks with no pay so who’s going to pay for rent and food no.
