Where would you like this career to take you?
"To be honest, I plan on being a flight attendant for as long as I'm physically able. I really love to serve people and turn a negative into a positive. I can picture myself doing this for at least the next 5-8 years, and I haven't thought beyond that. I'll just see where my customer service and hospitality skills can take me and keep an eye on internal promotions and transfers."
By asking this question, your interviewer is looking to ideally hear that you are committed to their organization and that you are in it for the long haul. While your interviewer is hoping to hire a long-term fit for their next Flight Attendant, showing that you are motivated to grow your career with their airline will convince your interviewer that you have the drive and determination needed for success with their airline.
"I am currently training as a commercial pilot, so my ideal career path will take me down that road. I am hoping that my experience as a Flight Attendant here will help me to gain perspective and be more empathetic and with my cabin crew in the future."
