The interviewer wants to know that this essential aspect of the job won't interfere with your ability to perform or cause you to burn out too quickly on the work required. Assure the interviewer that you know the inconsistent schedule associated with being a Flight Attendant. Use examples if you have some experiences to draw on. Explain why you enjoy this aspect of the work or emphasize the elements of the job that make this sacrifice worthwhile.
