How to Answer: What are your compensation expectations?
Advice and answer examples written specifically for a Flight Attendant job interview.
31. What are your compensation expectations?
How to Answer
While your interviewer is looking to make sure they can afford you, if offered the position; it is almost always best that you let your interviewer know that you've done your research and that compensation isn't the only reason you are considering a role with them as a Flight Attendant. Answering this question can be tricky, and the wrong answer may disqualify you for the position, so be sure to keep your answer pretty generic and in line with what expectations are for the role.

1st Answer Example
"I did see the salary range posted for the position when I applied, and it meets what I am seeking financially. More important to me is a strong organization with values that I can align with, and I know I'll find those here at your airline."

2nd Answer Example
"I'm a realistic person, there's no reason I should ask for something silly like $100,000. Right now, Delta Airlines values me at an annual salary around $45,000 and I earned a salary increase of 15% within my first year. I'm confident that, if I'll have the privilege of receiving an offer from British Airways, it'll be commensurate with the value that I bring to the company."
