Me (fourth from the left) with my fellow Inflight recruiters at our Atlanta hangar.

Do you dream of being a flight attendant? Well, now is your opportunity!

Atlantic Southeast is now hiring flight attendants for our Atlanta and Washington-Dulles crew bases.

Candidates should be excellent at multitasking, have outstanding people skills and be experts at working through all types of situations. Of course, you should also have a keen eye for safety!

If you think you have what it takes to join our team, go to the Careers section of our website and look for the Apply Online link. If selected for an interview, you will be invited to an open house where you’ll have a chance to get to know us, and we’ll have an opportunity to get to know you!

I’ve been a flight attendant at Atlantic Southeast for nearly nine years, and it is a great way to see new places, travel on your time off and meet new people. And not only do I love my job here, I love the company I work for!

Haven Mellor

Yes I was wondering what are the maximum height requirements to be a flight attendant for Atlantic Southeast Airlines?
- Greg
  
  They said there was no height regulation
Haven Mellor

Where does it say that. Im like 6’1 or so. So do they not have the maximum height restriction?
- Greg
  
  no as long as you can preform the duties safely im 6’2 and i go to training myself
Haven Mellor

Does that mean reaching the safety equipment and the overhead compartments? Do you bump your head a lot? How small is their aircraft?
- Greg
  
  I just got invited to training but ive flown the aircraft they use and im comfortable in it.
Haven Mellor

Are you a flight attendant? Let me know how much head room you have?
- Greg
  
  no im not a FA i just went to the interview and now going to training, about an inch or 2 from the ceiing
Haven Mellor

OK. Are you training for the flight attendant position? I hope you pass the training let me know how it goes. Thank you for the height maximum. I have always wanted to be a fa and I didn’t want my height to get in the way
- Greg
  
  Tks apply for it now
Haven Mellor

I’ll try. Do you think they will change their height maximum?
- Greg
  
  i dont think so
Haven Mellor

  - Ebony

Haven Mellor

I was wondering also do you have to have a college degree to apply for the flight attendant position or have customer service experience
- Greg
  
  Haven you need to go to the job description for the flight attendant position on this website. It will tell you everything you need to know about the job. I do know they look for strong customer service. Just review the job description… best of luck!!!
diane

There is a height requirement…5’9 inches includes heels. you cannot bump your head on the ceiling. Tall is worse than short. Been to training…going again.
- Jarek Beem
  
  Hi Diane: I checked with our Inflight team, and there is actually no height requirement/restriction for flight attendants. If anything changes, it will be posted within the job listing.
  - Greg
    
    Hello Jarek, are you a FA with ASA?
    - Jarek Beem – Atlantic Southeast
      
      Hi Greg: I’m part of Atlantic Southeast’s communications team.
      - Greg
        
        Thats kool, sounds like a real nice company to work for.. going to training on oct 5th
Kia

when do your training start Diane
Haven Mellor

Does anyone know is there a maximum height requirement for this airline. I am wondering because I am short of 6’2. Please let me know or is there a way I can contact the employment office
Haven Mellor

Jarek how could I find out if there is a maximum height restriction or requirement for this airline?
- Jarek Beem – Atlantic Southeast
  
  Haven: We do not currently have a maximum height restriction or requirement.
Haven Mellor

Do you think this would change?
- Jarek Beem – Atlantic Southeast
  
  I’m not aware of any planned changes.
Roseann Cropanese

I recently applied for the flight attendants position. How often does ASA review the applications? I think I’m just really excited.
Haven Mellor

Okay do you know what is the cabin height because I am shy of 6’2 and I don’t want to just hit my head all the time. I have always to become a flight attendant.
Crystal

I so very excited!!!! I got a invite for a open house. Does any one know how many people will be there and want to expect in the interview???
- Greg
  
  Best of luck Crystal just be yourself and enjoy it!!
diane

There might be no manual reference to height, but you cannot be bending over and bumping your head.
Haven Mellor

I’m trying to figure out the cabin height because I am shy of 6’2 and they need to explain that in the requirements so people that go and apply and that are on a little on the tall side will need to know. Does anybody know the cabin height.
Haven Mellor

Diane- They have to be more clear about their height restrictions because they’re an airline and they’re not clear on their height and they should put it under their requirements
- Jarek Beem – Atlantic Southeast
  
  Haven: My apologies for not responding sooner. Atlantic Southeast does not have a minimum or maximum height for flight attendants. The cabins of our CRJ200 aircraft are approximately 6 ft 1 in, and the cabins of our CRJ700 and CRJ900 are slightly taller. We currently have flight attendants of all heights working at Atlantic Southeast.
  - David
    
    Though there is no height requirement, how comfortable will you be in such cramped quarters? Will you start to suffer from neck pain? Will this get in the way of you performing at your best and remaining constant in Atlantic Southeast Airlines? Or will you bail in a matter of months? Just a few things to think about. My best wishes.
Haven Mellor

OK. It’s fine and do you know who is the tallest flight attendant you may have for Atlantic Southeast. Do you know how often they make the cabins bigger and will they make a height requirement in the next two to three years?
- Jarek Beem – Atlantic Southeast
  
  I’m not sure of the height of our tallest flight attendant. The cabin height does not change, and I know of no plans to implement a height restriction.
Harley

So I applied several years ago and was asked to an interview but could not attend. I tried to update my profile but it will not remove my old outdated resume, so now I have two posted…. If I had know I would have just created a new profile. I am afraid it made me look unprofessional and hurt my chances of begin invited again. Is there any tech support for the careers portal?
- Jarek Beem – Atlantic Southeast
  
  Harley: I will have someone from HR contact you via e-mail about your profile.
  - Harley
    
    Thank you! Fixed over the weekend! Now hopefully I will be able to met the wonderful HR personnel face to face!
Haven Mellor

OK. Thanks for the help

For those of you who have gotten call backs from ASA, what is your work history like? I currently work at Blockbuster and have worked in the customer service field for about nine years. I am worried that because of the jobs I have had I will not get a call back because they may be less appealing than other candidates. Yet, my dream has and will always be a Flight Attendant? Am I being paranoid, or will my work history be diagnosed as a lack of passion for aviation?

P.S. It is great to see so many others with a passion for flying! No one else I know wants to be a flight attendant…and people always tell me it’s a weid profession choice lol.
David

Haven: Though there is no height requirement, how comfortable will you be in such cramped quarters? Will you start to suffer from neck pain? Will this get in the way of you performing at your best and remaining constant in Atlantic Southeast Airlines? Or will you bail in a matter of months? We want the best and we want them to stay and continue making ASA a great company. Just a few things to think about. My best wishes.
- Ebony Thomas
  
  Hi David! Hope all is well with you. I am curious to know if ASA is still going through applications that have already been submitted before the flight attendant ad was taken off the website? I really want to be a part of this family/team and I hope they are still hiring. I have not received an email acknowledging that my application is on file, so I am really hoping I am still in the running!
Nasha

Anybody?
Haven Mellor

David- I am shy of 6’2. I don’t think I will be cramped that much. I don’t suffer from neck pain and it probably won’t get in my way of doing the best. Does the recruiters look at each person who is applying at their height. I want to remain at any airline without my height getting in the way. Please let me know what you think
Haven Mellor

Does anybody know why you have to be 21 in order to start the interview process?
- C.Cooper
  
  You have to be 21 because you will be dealing with liquor and thats the legal age with dealing with liquor,and it will be a part of your job with customers wanting to purchase in coach cabin as well as serving liquor in the first class cabin.
Haven Mellor

OK. That’s what I thought. Thanks very much
Ebony Thomas

Still patiently waiting to get an opportunity to attend an open house/interview session. Are they still hiring?
Valencia

How often are flight attendants paid at Express Jet? How long is training and what are hours and days for training? Are you able to choose your training city and your base city? How many flight attendants are on flights?
Ktliw

Hello! I’ve always wanted to be a flight attendant. I love flying and I’m great at customer service. But I am just under 5′. Will this be an issue? I’ve read that height is not as an important measurement as reach, and that 208 cm is the norm, but I can reach to like 205-207. I’m just under. Is there anywhere that will make an exception for a smart, pretty, friendly and funny girl who wants to pursue this career?
- Courtney
  
  Hi Kylie,
  
  We don’t have height requirements – as long as you can perform the job we’re happy! You can learn more about flight attendant positions at expressjet.com/careers.

Michal Nocon

Just wondering what is a normal time to wait after applying to get an interview??
- Courtney
  
  Hi Michal,
  
  Typically for a pilot position we interview when you’re within six months of earning your hours. If you’re already at that point when you apply, we try to schedule an interview within a week or two of reviewing your application, pending your schedule. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact pilotrecruiting@expressjet.com. Thanks! Courtney
