As a Flight Attendant, you'll be asked to work a wide range of hours and a lot of overtime. Are you able to accommodate the unpredictable schedule of a Flight Attendant?
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.
"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. This schedule is part of the lifestyle of a Flight Attendant, which I completely understand. I'm happy to work any hours offered to me."
"I am available for a wide range of hours and overtime. I prefer to know my schedule ahead of time so I can make appropriate childcare arrangements."

Applying for this job, I knew it wasn't going to be a nine to five job, but that's what I find exciting about the role. I am willing to work overtime and work whenever I am called in.
