Flight attendant jobs in the US: who’s hiring across major airlines and regional carriers

Flight attendant jobs in the US open and close fast. Major airlines like Delta, American, United, Southwest, JetBlue, and Alaska run their flight attendant hiring in waves, sometimes for only a few hours at a time before applications close. Regional airlines like Endeavor, Republic, PSA, Envoy, and SkyWest hire more continuously, and for many aspiring flight attendants, a regional carrier is the smartest first step into the career with a defined path to mainline.

Most people researching how to get a job as a flight attendant spend weeks piecing the picture together. Airline career pages haven't updated since the last hiring window. Flight attendant job requirements vary between carriers and aren't always documented.

Training programs sell themselves hard but quality varies. Forum posts about flight attendant job applications are years out of date. And nobody wants to admit that the "perfect" job at a major airline starts with a year or two at a regional first.
