Open for the 2027 hiring cycle since June 2026 — English-speaking and bilingual (Language of Destination) roles, training starting early 2027. Delta says the posting stays up only "until the needed number of applicants is received," so it can close without notice. One application per six months per profile.

General application reopened July 14, 2026, posted through roughly August 14, 2026 — subject to early close on applicant volume. United runs burst windows that slam shut: the October 2024 window closed in about 7 hours after ~7,000 applications. Language-qualified postings open separately.

Open — evergreen application plus hiring events, sustained by Frontier's post-Spirit expansion (new routes across 18 ex-Spirit markets). Age 20 minimum, 14-month-valid passport, 3.5-week Cheyenne WY training. Note: contract terms agreed under federal mediation in early 2026, so published pay figures are likely stale.

Open — rolling, base-specific postings across ~22 domiciles; which bases are hiring changes frequently, so check the careers page for your city. Age 21, 4.5-week Las Vegas training, and most trips return home the same night. Distinctive interview step: candidates prepare a PA announcement in advance and deliver it at the group day.

Open — 13 flight attendant requisitions live via Greenhouse across Fort Myers, Norfolk, Las Vegas, Charleston, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Hartford, with Raleigh-Durham announced as the 12th base for early 2026. AFA-represented since 2024 but no first contract yet; reported (non-contractual) pay ladder starts around $25/hr.
Breeze Greenhouse job board checked 2026-08, per Cleared for Cabin dossier.
Open but volatile — hiring for surviving bases (New Haven, Wilmington DE, Concord NC, Lakeland FL) plus the new Dallas/McKinney base opening November 2026, while the airline restructures. Avelo ran an explicit hiring call for displaced Spirit crew. Base list has changed four times in 18 months — verify your base before investing.

Open — base-specific applications for MSP, Laughlin/Bullhead City, Las Vegas, and Gulfport. Unusual requirements: age 20 by end of training, 2 years customer service REQUIRED, 80-inch reach, and 5 weeks unpaid training with a $1,000 completion stipend. Now Allegiant-owned (deal closed May 2026) but operating independently under its own contract.

Open — rolling standing posting. The 2026 format candidates describe is a recruiting presentation followed by a virtual one-on-one on Microsoft Teams with a single recruiter (5-7 rapid situational questions); the in-person group events and reach test belong to earlier, pre-2026 cycles. Your background check and reference surveys are run BEFORE the interview. Calling SkyWest a "stepping stone" is a named disqualifier — do not say it. Published 5'0"–6'0" height range (CRJ cabins), the loosest tattoo policy among regionals, ~$30/hr start per mid-2026 postings, and 35-day paid Salt Lake City training. Flies for United, Delta, American, and Alaska.

Open — rolling hiring at age 20+. The flow is a one-way video interview (FIVE questions, no retakes), then a phone interview of five situational questions, and the phone round is the FINAL gate before a conditional offer; open-house events are the alternate entry. Note that CJO holders are currently waitlisted for training dates. 19-day paid Indianapolis training and "guaranteed 11 days off per month." New joint Republic/Mesa contract brings boarding pay at the mainline formula — one of the first regionals with it.

Open — rolling hiring (phone screen, then a ~2.5-hour interview day). The day is a straight interview conducted in a group of five candidates — no games, no team activities — and the reach test comes AFTER your conditional offer, alongside fingerprints and the drug test. Class seniority is set by AGE, not by application date. Hiring was throttled May-July 2026 while the new DCA base was built out. Four bases: Chicago O'Hare, DFW, Miami, Phoenix — domicile assigned during training, relocation at your expense. Heads up: ground school is UNPAID (hotel and meals provided), offset by a $2,000 bonus with a 1-year commitment. American wholly-owned.

Open — rolling hiring with one of the fastest funnels reported: video interview, then in-person, with same-day/on-the-spot conditional offers described by candidates and a 19-day aggregate time-to-hire.

Open — rolling standing posting plus recruitment events; ~26-day average time-to-hire reported. Delta's only wholly-owned regional. Do not pick Endeavor for the Delta Pathway: it was a fast-pass to Delta's Event Day (never a guaranteed flow), and candidates were told at an August 2025 hiring event that the program is gone — treat it as discontinued as of late 2025 and ask your recruiter directly at your event. If you attend an event, Endeavor pays the flights but NOT the hotel. Company's own first-year estimate: $28,000. Bases ATL/CVG/DTW/MSP/NYC/RDU.

Open — rolling Workday postings for PHL, CLT, and Harrisburg (MDT). Solo-FA E145 operation (one flight attendant per aircraft), published 5'2"–6'0" height gate, and the strictest appearance policy in the regional set: no visible tattoos, no facial piercings. $28.08/flight hour start. Small FA group — hiring can pause quietly when classes fill.
piedmont-airlines.com/flight-attendant/ checked 2026-08, per Cleared for Cabin dossier. 2022 union contract at end of term — pay could be re-rated.
Open — effectively year-round. Despite the joint portal's "posted hiring windows" language, flight attendants hired in July 2025 and candidates applying in April 2026 both describe rolling, continuous hiring, so treat Horizon as always worth an application. Video stage is about 8 audio-only questions, 1 minute each, 3 retakes, and several prompts are rewordings of each other. The "face-to-face" round is a VIDEO call — no travel. Edge: 4 weeks PAID Portland training (Alaska's and Hawaiian's are unpaid).
careers.alaskaair.com joint portal checked 2026-08 plus candidate reports 2025-07 through 2026-04, per Cleared for Cabin dossier. AFA contract in mediation; strike vote authorized June 2026.
Open — rolling hiring still under the Mesa banner (ADP portal) despite the Republic merger; you are hired by Mesa, AFA-side, under the Jan 2026 joint contract with boarding pay at the mainline 50% formula. $27.82/hr start, age floor 20 (only sub-21 carrier in our set), and exactly three bases — IAH, IAD, SDF (a Sterling VA posting is the IAD-area listing, not a fourth base; Phoenix is legacy HQ, not a crew base). Training now runs in INDIANAPOLIS, not Phoenix, and the "face-to-face" interview is a video call. This status decays fastest of any tracked carrier — the funnel could fold into Republic's at any time.

Open — rolling recruitment via invitation-only in-person interview sessions (apply online, wait for an email invite; ORD sessions posted). United Express CRJ550s from EWR/IAD/ORD/STL.

Open — rolling Dayforce applications with one of the fastest funnels (~23 days reported; live 4-manager video panel, no HireVue). Hard gate: height 4'11"–5'11" without shoes — the lowest ceiling in the United Express family. Solo-FA E145 cabins, IAH and IAD bases only, and a live-anywhere commuting policy (no relocation required). $22.39/hr first 90 days, then $25.38.

Open — actively recruiting through invitation-only information/interview sessions (apply online first). Charter/CRAF widebody operator, not a scheduled airline: expect 20+ hour duty periods and 19+ continuous days away per Omni's own posting. $20.57/block hour with a 65-hour guarantee — widebody does NOT mean mainline pay. Worldwide-valid passport and prior customer/public service experience required.

Closed. Hiring is no longer separate: there is ONE combined Alaska Air Group application at careers.alaskaair.com where you select Alaska, Hawaiian, or both, and Hawaiian requisitions post there (same July 20-22, 2026 window). What stays Hawaiian-specific is the product, not the funnel — its own 8-week Honolulu training, its own contract, $28.96/hr start, and HNL plus a new Seattle 787 domicile. The group Zoom round is now recorded post-merger.

Recall-first; external FA hiring unconfirmed. Air Wisconsin stopped all scheduled passenger flying April 2025 and was sold to CSI Aviation (Jan 2026) — its CRJ200s now fly government charter work from Milwaukee, principally ICE detainee-transfer flights. Recalled furloughed FAs staffed the restart (~1/3 returned). A careers page "Apply Now" is live but its requirements link 404s — don't plan a career entry around this; see the active United Express alternatives in the profile.
