Flight Attendant Jobs: Who Is Hiring

The news for Us inheritance carriers continues to worsen. Northwest and Delta recently filed bankruptcy while some others are teetering toward insolvency. Looking employment with one of these carriers is difficult, particularly if you are seeking a work as a flight attendant. Still, there are jobs with some air carriers, if you know where to look. Let's take a look at some airlines that are likely to hire flight attendants over the next year or two.

The inheritance carriers, which comprise American, Delta, Northwest, United, Continental, and Usairways, are probably not good places to look for stable employment. Earlier in 2005, Continental was hiring flight attendants, but the job market for the inheritance carriers remains commonly bleak. United remains in bankruptcy and Usairways recently exited bankruptcy and merged with America West Airlines.

On the other hand, the following discount, charter, and regional carriers have all hired flight attendants recently or are planning to do so over the next year:
