Felon wants Job as Flight Attendant

 Felon wants Job as Flight Attendant

Hello sir,

I was reading your list of companies that hire felons, and noticed that there were airlines listed.  I wanted to ask you about a person with a criminal record becoming a flight attendant.  I have a lot of customer service experience and people like me.  It seems like a good job for a young person like me.  Do you know anything about that?

I have a shoplifting charge.  I hope having one charge won’t keep me from having a good career career.

Hello Dara,

I know of people with criminal records working for airlines.  Many people believe that having a record prevents anyone from working at an airline and that is not true.  The job applied for and the nature of the criminal offense will always be taken in account.

My suggestion to you, is to contact the airline you were thinking of applying to and speak to the human resources department.  That department will be able to tell you if your conviction will prohibit you from being hired in that position.  If not, you can find out what the exact qualifications for the positions are and exactly how to apply.  Remind the Human Resources representative that you can be bonded.  See this post about the Federal Bonding Program here:
