As one can imagine; I get so many messages about prospective individuals wanting to join this career path however; I STRONGLY implore anyone interested to do an internal “self-check”. If you want to be a corporate flight attendant because you “love to travel”— this may not be the right fit. Sure, travel is sometimes a gorgeous by-product of the job we do BUT it requires so much more both in lifestyle sacrifices and simple core personal traits and characteristics I would argue that those wishing to join this field should swap “I love to travel” with “I have a heart to serve”. The latter will be the currency of passion needed to withstand the hurdles faced in this industry.To all my CFAs that follow here: what is ONE thing you wish you knew before you got started in this industry? This is going to be an amazing comment thread to read if we all share below 🫶🛩️

As promised from last weeks poll, the answers to everyone wanting to know where you can transition in business aviation after flying. This has been a burning question in our community as people enter different phases of life and their personal life changes in obligations.Personally, I was a contractor/freelance CFA before having my baby and will remain contracting— just not quite at the same speed as before 🥰😉If you are someone who has transitioned to a new role post-flying, please share your story too!

When I flew Qatar Business Class last March, I noticed they serve all of their on-demand meal services with a small lantern on the tray ,not only does it provide mood lighting but it also avoids disruptive lighting changes that alter the relaxing ambiance of the flight This one in particular is my favorite to use for night flights to avoid clients eyes having to drastically adjust when needing to use the loo in the middle of the night. It also looks beautiful creating a starry ambiance for the welcome table or dinner service ✨✨✨

I tell everyone who is interested in joining this career field, there is room for you if you are willing to be a consummate professional, possess an unmatched work ethic, and are motivated to network like crazy. That is how I successfully broke into this industry almost ten years ago, but I definitely made a few mistakes along the way myself. Luckily, with the Flightess Mentorship Program, I have created the right handholding tools and educational platform to allow candidates to not only learn from the mistakes I made, but pave a road that allows them to successfully and gracefully break open the gates of this industry themselves to blaze their own successful careers as corporate flight attendants.Interested in hearing more? Schedule a call with me with the link in my bio! Let’s chat!!

‼️ALL ITEMS LINKED IN THE BLOG POST (check bio link!)1. Compression everything. All the time.It’s no secret that when you are pregnant, a majority of your weight gain is just extra fluids in your body. Wearing compression socks or pantyhose is already a healthy habit when flying; but when you’re pregnant, it’s a non-negotiable.  During the flight, you need to take care of your blood circulation. There is low pressure in the cabin. It increases strain on your arteries and veins, which is already hard if you’re pregnant. Thus, you need to wear compression socks or compression stockings. I did a tremendous amount of research on which compression socks would do the job and ultimately landed on VIM&VIGR. I had them in all the colors and in my third trimester I wore them from morning to night.2. Stretchy Uniform DressesI stopped fitting into my regular work dresses in my second trimester, therefore I had to find comfortable, stretchy, and professional dresses for flying. Since it was short-term, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on pregnancy uniforms.I sized up to a medium in these stretchy dresses and it worked all thru my third trimester.3. Pregnancy Glow in a Bottle?You know everyone always says to pregnant women “YOU’RE GLOWING!!!” okay well I have done the research and turns out people only said that to me when I was quite literally wearing this highlighter.  100% swear by this product for a natural glow.

WHO IS FLIGHTESS

Flightess
“The famous designer Oscar De La Renta taught me one of the most important lessons of my professional life. When asked “What is luxury?” His response was this: “Luxury is a feeling.” He went on to explain that paying a high price to be served a cup of coffee in a fancy hotel by an employee who pays no attention to you is not luxury because it doesn’t make you feel special; rather, you leave disappointed. In contrast, buying cheaper coffee prepared by a street vendor who gives you his undivided attention makes you feel important and welcome. That is good service. That is luxury.
Luxury can be had by anyone, because its about giving someone the gift of feeling welcomed, cherished, and looked after.”
 
Charles P. MacPherson of “The Butler Speaks”

Who is Flightess?

Flightess is each and every CFA in the world! This community is Flightess!

Jamie started her aviation career in 2013, where she worked for a United States government charter service. From there she was promoted to a classified U.S. government contract and still retains her Secret Security Clearance to this day. After being a proud recipient of a Women In Aviation Scholarship in 2014, Jamie transitioned into Business Aviation, serving a myriad of international clientele and operators.

Shortly thereafter, Jamie was selected to be a part of the highly anticipated branch of VistaJet’s global expansion into the U.S. market, where she remained one of the most frequently requested Cabin Hostesses by VJ flyers. As a graduate of Yacht Chef Culinary School MyMuyBueno, Jamies brings a unique approach as a leading expert in aviation hospitality. She has been recruited and requested to train flight attendant departments both domestically and internationally.

In 2018, Jamie joined the team of a new global Dassault Falcon fleet operation where she helped recruit over 60% of the new hires in the Inflight Department. She also curated a more finely tuned approach to service, including finessed service standards and protocols, targeted onboard branding, and improved inflight service product selection.

Jamie possesses a new philosophy of inflight service and has rewritten the status quo of inflight hospitality with her brand and business Flightess, which specializes in the innovation of onboard service, galvanizing Business Aviation Flight Attendants all over the world.

Where do I get my inspiration from?

Every meal I eat while traveling, trying new restaurants. I stalk my favorite chefs on social media (no really, it takes actual will power for me to not comment on every single instagram post of Chef Thomas Keller praising him and his genius). I also love watching Netflix’s series that focus on exploring the art and science of food.

Where have I learned all of my skills?

I worked in restaurants, commercial kitchens, and event caterers growing up . I went to culinary school in Mallorca, Spain. I’ve also had lovely employers who invested in my inflight skill sets whether that be WSET Wine Certifications, The British Butler Institute, European Etiquette & Service Training, and Davinci Training in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

My hope is to share these skills I’ve learned, with you here on Flightess.

  • I miss the cute hat, don’t miss the paper bag pants!

Craziest request I’ve ever had from a client?

I once picked thru 4 boxes of lucky charms with a gloved hand to render every last marshmallow. However, I always tell people being a Corporate Flight Attendant is like The Devil Wears Prada, except on an international level.

I also once served an African Grey bird garnished mashed potatoes in Cristofle china on a white linen table cloth as my client wanted to dine properly with her bird.

About Flightess

What makes a good Corporate Flight Attendant?

I would say anticipation and attention to detail. If you can harness the intrinsic skill of knowing what your clients wants and needs are before they ask, that is VIP luxury service.
