Graduates only

Add yourself to the graduate directory

We are building a page where flight departments and charter operators can find corporate flight attendants who trained here. If you are looking for cabin work, or open to the right trip, this is a free way to be found by the people doing the hiring.

Listing yourself is entirely your choice, and you can come off the page at any time by replying to the confirmation email. No explanation needed.

What appears on the page

Your photo, the name you choose to show, which class you finished, whether you are available, where you are based and whether you would relocate, the languages you speak, your passport status, what you did before, and a few sentences in your own words. You pick whether that is your full name or your first name and last initial.

This directory is exclusive to Beyond and Above graduates.

What never appears

Your email address and your phone number. When an operator is interested they contact us, we pass it to you, and you decide whether to reply. They never get your details from the page.

One thing to be clear about

The page is public and can be found through search engines, the same as a LinkedIn profile. If your current employer would rather not see you listed as available, that is worth thinking about before you send this.

Free for graduates

Beyond and Above trains corporate flight attendants and passes operator interest along to graduates. We do not place anyone, we do not represent anyone, and no fee changes hands in either direction. Questions about any of this, call Mary Lou at 954-609-5600.
