Being a flight attendant is a lifestyle, and one which many candidates compete for. As with any such position, for the right person, the benefits out way the drawbacks. "Flight attendant, steward, air crew or cabin crew. Whatever name you use, when you're part of the Virgin Atlantic team, you'll be shaping the future of long-haul travel, creating exciting alternatives to the norm at 37,000 feet. There are challenging days, it's never 9-5, but when you add your own dash of flair, to make a customer's flight, there's no feeling like it." If you find yourself pursuing a crew position, assure the interviewer that you're aware of the schedule and would have no trouble adapting to it.

"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, I completely understand. I'm happy to work any hours offered to me."
