Flight attendants or cabin crew (also known as stewards, air hosts/hostesses, or stewardesses) are members of an air-crew employed by airlines to ensure the safety and comfort of the passengers aboard commercial flights as well as on select business/ corporate jet aircraft.  Major airlines and corporate aircraft are required by law to provide flight attendants for the safety of the traveling public. Although the primary job of the flight attendants is to ensure that safety regulations are followed, flight attendants also try to make flights comfortable and enjoyable for passengers.  Most airlines offer and pay for your flight attendant training after you get hired.  If you want to be a little more competitive then you can enroll in one of the flight attendant training schools and get all your training done; you might have a better chance of getting hired with the airlines.
