Really really?
Edited as…I really should try to be nicer! It’s a very different world than the one I lived in when my airline career started in 1995. You might read the article and think it’s about age, about how the current generation operates on a different standard. But most new FAs at my airline are in their 40s. They come to the job from other, often unrelated, jobs. The profession of Flight Attendant for many of them seems not to be an aspiration. More than a few are quite open about hating it. But the money is great, the schedule is gentle and the pass benefits alone make up for the indignities of the job. The pride of service and respect for self is sadly not what it was once.
Definitely had a string of bad applicants, otherwise they wouldn’t have needed to publish those points.
Depends on your definition of bad
