Although there are many appealing aspects of working in the travel industry, the lifestyle has some drawbacks. Therefore, your interviewer is interested in ascertaining whether you've thoroughly considered whether this is the right career path for you. They clearly state on their website that they "operate in a 24/7 industry, so you will need to commit to rostered shifts, weekends, and public holidays." Assure the interviewer that you are aware of the inconsistent schedule associated with being a Flight Attendant. Use examples if you have some experiences to draw on.

"In my most recent position with Airline XYZ, I had an inconsistent schedule that required me to often be on call. I worked many weekends and holidays. I completely understand that this is part of the lifestyle of a Flight Attendant. I'm happy to work any hours offered to me here at Air New Zealand."
