In this video, I talk about how I transitioned from being a Regional Flight Attendant to a Mainline Flight Attendant in less than 1 year.
I'll give my best tips on how you can do it in 6 months and ways to wow your recruiter at the interview for mainline. I hope you find this video encouraging if you're looking to promote yourself from Regional to Mainline.

Such an inspiration! I've been with my regional for 9 months now and am ready to transition to mainline. It was great starting with a regional because it made me realize that this is something I want to do the rest of my life.
Girl I'm regional now and keep trying mainline 😭 They dont want me, but I'll keep shooting my shot!
Hey Ebony! You were the very first flight attendant I started watching when I decided to become a flight attendant. I just got my cjo with SkyWest yesterday for February and I want to say thank you for being a motivation. Want to get this experience and hopefully one day become a mainline FA. Can't wait til your next video!
Rongelinajolie how's it going
Anyone looking to go to Mainline one day too? Leave a comment tell me how you liked this video and if you have any questions! :)
Ebony Christina are u UA or CA?
Ebony Christina hey I'm Djeneba Traore I love every single video of yours because it help those who wants to be a flight Attendant but honestly can you please tell us about a reserve flight attendant and how much do they pay.
Have you ever been a reserve Flight Attendant? And how was it for you? Meaning your experience?
What was the airline Name that you work before transition to the Mainline. My regards.
Ebony Christina hi! Hight matters? I'm 5" feet tall.
@ Ebony Christina - do you have to go through training all over again when you go from Regional to MainLine?
being a flight attendant is my big dream since i was a child. i've been portraying this role always at school before. lol. hopefully one day i'll be flying like you. your one of my inspiration ebony! :)
I have been watching your videos since 2015
Last week i just got my CJO with a regional company
I know that one day I want to do mainline
It is very comforting to know thats where you started. That is one of my goals one day too. I cant wait to get all this experience to prepare me for the larger companies. Thank you so much you are such a gem!
This really gave me hope. I recently got a CJO with a regional carrier and I'm excited because I get to finally leave my small town in East Texas, but a little bummed out I won't be be able to travel to "cooler" destinations, but I'm glad that I'm starting out small. Thank you so much for this video and hopefully after a few months of experience, I'll apply for a mainline airline again :)
How did it work out for you!?
This was just the push I needed bc its looking likely that I'll hopefully be working for a regional carrier which i am not at all upset about. I just want to fly!! This was so helpful... Thanks girl!!! :)
+BeautybyA.Shantell You're just like me! I just wanted to fly too! lol I didn't really care which airline I was flying for. Good luck!
I needed to hear this. I start training with Mesa Airlines in January. I'll see you somewhere!
+Corey Johnson Congrats! See you in the sky! 💙✈️
I did my v. i. with Mesa yesterday. :D
Katrina Smith how was it I got nervous I heard a lot of bad things about them.
My video interview went very well! I also did two other video interviews!
Katrina Smith how did it go with Mesa..I wanted to apply??
Thank you for this video. I tried mainline first, and got as far as the v.i. And decided to try regional and have my v.i. This week for two regionals. My dream is mainline one day. Just received your book this week. Going to read it tonight!
Ebony you are an absolute doll! Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge. I’m in the process of applying now, and your videos have been SO helpful! Fingers crossed I’ll be staying at a hotel like this one day! ✈️😍
Really nice video. You present yourself well, and you recognize the primary importance of that WORK ETHIC! Best of luck & success to you!
+Jim Holder Very kind words. Thank you so much!
I just got a TBNT from my dream mainline carrier so this brightened up my day a bit. there's hope for me! :)
Same here. :)
There's definitely hope! Keep applying! It can still happen for you. Good luck
Ebony I had a VI a couple of weeks ago..and I wish I had saw your videos first. now I believe I answered questions well but, video lighting was not well and I felt I looked tired because I just got off work. I probably should have waited a day, but I was thinking hurry get it done. I will tell you it was with Republic. I will do as you said and try again..I thank you for posting.
I've been working for a regional for about 9 months now! Aspiring to apply to JetBlue when they start hiring again! Thanks for the video it was really inspiring to continue my FA journey!
Your video is a inspiration to me to fulfill my dream to be a flight attendant just as we speak I’m applying right now! Thank you..
Thank you for words of wisdom and advice. I applied with an airline a while back, not expecting a response until today. I was walking out the store when I checked my phone for the time and ended up seeing an email requesting an video interview!
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to hear going into training for a regional and deciding to use the experience to get to my mainline dream job. Your videos are always helpful congratulations on getting your mainline!
+HazelDawn14095 Thank you! I'm glad you found this video helpful. And congrats on training! You'll be working Mainline before you know it 😉
HazelDawn14095 Hi I am looking for advice on eventually going to a mainline carrier. How soon is too soon to try and apply? I have only been with my regional for a few months. AA is hiring, do you think it would reflect poorly in my application to apply so soon?
You are so inspirational.I feel like you were talking directly to me. I have applied with 3 major airlines and didn't them. I'm going to apply for regional flight attendant. Thank you so much!!
"But let me go ahead and get dressed really quick, put on some clothes, get my life together." Lol, Ebony! You crack me up. I love your attitude and your videos are truly helpful, motivational and inspirational!
I'm an aspiring FA and have just started checking out FA-related vids like yours and your first How To be a FA vid was super helpful and detailed. It made me start a playlist to use as resources! Haha. Anyways, thanks for sharing your stories and experiences with everyone! I'm so happy for you for being able to transition from regional to mainline. When you said that you received an invitation for a video interview within three days, I was like :o haha, so so happy and proud for/of you, Ebony! I hope to become an experienced FA just like you in the near future.
I absolutely love all of your videos thanks for posting. I actually just got invited to a face to face with a regional airline. I'm really excited because I applied for a few main airlines but didn't get the jobs. This video was definitely great motivation. Thank you
I love your spirit!!!!! You are so amazing i have my F2F interview next Thursday super nervous but your videos give me so much resource and confidence! #TeamEbony
Nice to see you on RUclips again!❤❤❤
+Prissy Liss Thank you! 😘
Thank u so much for this. Needed to hear this
Omg thank you so much for finally posting a new video! I have a phone interview with a regional carrier on Tuesday and I'm nervous. I've watched all of your videos and honestly they have calmed me down a bit. Hopefully I get the CJO.
+Demetria Witt Thank you for watching my videos! Good luck on your interview! You'll do great 🙂
you speak so well! 😩 your words flow. I hate interviews. nerves get the best of me. especially with video interviews. this is a great video girlfriend!!
+Kammy R Aww thank you! Interviews are so nerve wrecking smh To help you be more comfortable, try practicing by recording yourself on your phone
13,000th subscriber 🙌 I'm currently regional and have been thinking more and more about going mainline 😊 Really enjoyed this! xx
I absolutely loved your video! I did get contacted from 3 mainline airlines and I didn't make it past the video interview with one and past being just contacted to confirm with the other one. This is such motivation for me because I was wondering a lot about the difference between regional and mainline. This video helped me so much. Thank you for making it!
+Kenni H I'm so happy to hear you found it helpful!!! I wish you the best of luck! 💙✈️
Ebony Christina thank you!
thank you for this motivational video! You're right if its meant to be it will be! I will be attending group interviews with two regional airlines this January. wish me luck :)
+tippany110 Yayyy! I wish you the best of luck! You got this ✈️💙
thank you
Great video!!!! Very inspiring and positive. I was once regional as well and I got so much compliments from FA's that would commute on our "little 76 seater" LOL about how well I was and always suggest me going to mainline...I've been out off the airline industry for a month now and now I'm ready to mainline lol hope to see you in the friendly skies one day ❤️✈️
Merry Christmas!!! Thank you so much for all of your encouragement along this journey! I have a CJO soI am awaiting my training date. Yeahh!!!!
Jus4Kel Congratulations!! And Merry Christmas to you too! 🌲❤️ That CJO is probably the best gift of all 😉
Seriously loving your attitude and this video!
Love love love!!!!! Congrats! :)
I have applied twice, got the opportunity to video interview and pulled out before face to face due to life and other things.
2017 is be yr for it!! 3rd time is the charm!! Happy for you!!
+Amber Adams Yea go for it again! It will happen if you keep trying. Good luck! 😊
Thank you so much Ebony. I’m just getting started and your videos has helped me so much I appreciate this so much 😍😘😇🙏🏽

I needed this. Your such an inspiration ✨✨✨
You are amazing ! Such an inspiration !
Subscribed! ❤
Wonderful words of encouragement, thank you. 🦋
always look forward to your videos. I plan to apply for a FA position this upcoming year. ♥️
+Jessikah Ann-Mariè Thank you! You should definitely do it!
Thank you Ebony! This is very encouraging. I've been at a Regional for almost a year. I think I will apply for mainline soon.
+rockieann Go for it! 🤗
Thanks for the inspiration!! 💋❤️ I'm patiently waiting to begin my journey as a FA!
+AngelicDiva1988 Good luck on your journey ❤️🙂
Ebony can you please tell me, was the regional you worked for the regional for the Legacy airline you are with now? Do you feel there is an edge in transitioning to a Legacy airline from that Legacy's regional or is it looked down upon by that Legacy like you are being disloyal to their regional? I have heard differing opinions on this issue and I have seen working flight attendants not get hired when trying to change over. What is your take on this please?
hey abony I m sooo happy to see you again. I always wait for you. u makes me happy. now I improve my English to be a flight attendant. love you.
Aww that's so sweet! Thank for the support! I hope this video was easy for you to understand my English. I feel like I was talking really fast lol
I can understand easily but can't speak fluently.
your vedio help me to learn English language. thank you dear.
(I write right English or not)
You are the best wow.. just what i needed. I appreciate you so, sooo much! lots of love sent your way girly ♡
+nm767 M Thank you for the love! ❤️
This was great!!! I have a couple of interviews for regional airlines and this is exactly what I needed to hear!
Aww great! Good luck!!!
Ebony Christina I'm going back through your videos and totally forgot I commented here. I ended up getting that CJO & I start training in 2 weeks! But since I am wanting to switch over to mainline, I was wondering if you knew any mainlines that don't do a water evacuation or pool day. Or at least anything that doesn't require me jumping into a pool?
You are absolutely gorgeous!
Hey Ebony! How did your quality of life change when you went mainline? Did your layovers improve?
Just got an Email from Mesa Airlines to do a video interview. Hopefully they like me, Getting out of S. Los Angeles will be a huge accomplishment for me. Btw your video really inspired and motivated me to start as regional god willing if I get the job after this interview
Simply gorgeous!
Thank you so much, your video is very helpful🙏🏾🙏🏾💕💕💕
Wow beautiful hotel !
Thank you for a positive video. I was turned down by 4 airlines but I'm not going to stop. Btw you're just too beautiful :)
+kevin khuu Thank you! Yea don't give up! A lot of Flight Attendants get turned down before they land their first airline. Staying persistent is how you get the job! It'll be yours. Good luck!
Hey Ebony ! Can you tell us which regional airline you worked for ?
I needed this. Thank you so much
Aww good. Thank you for watching!
I love this video. You are by far my favorite flight attendant youtuber? Is that an adjective? The advice about applying is great. I also feel that whatever happens is meant to be. I will be happy as long as I get a job. I also would like to maybe get my french to a level to apply for bilingual. Could you do a video about the requirements and testing for that? There are no videos that I could find.
We missed you !!!
+Hernes Castillo I missed y'all more!!! 😘
Thank you for this ❤️
So I did my video interview so now I’m waiting to hear back. I really hope they call me back, It hasn’t been two weeks yet but I’m starting to get a little nervous.
I just got my cjo for SkyWest airline. ... can you talk about what you went through in training I leave feb 1st I just posted on your fly girls Facebook site
+JazzItUp Hey Jazz! I actually have a video where I talk all about the training experience. Take a look at my channel and check it out. Hope it helps! And congrats on training!!
JazzItUp Hi:), I am going to skywest recruiting open interview in two weeks and I was wondering was your interview a group interview if so what do I expect at the interview? was it hard?
thank you very helpful!
Thank you for watching!
cool
Would you recommend Mesa Airlines?. I want to apply, but read very bad reviews
Please post more often.
+Crz4wizard Aww I will. What kinda videos would you like to see?!
Ebony Christina Storytimes are pretty good. I enjoyed this storytime so maybe you can do more using this format. You can do miscellaneous things too. For example you can talk about being a flight attendant: what you expect vs what it truly is, worse experience thus far, and finally Q&As. You can never go wrong with Q&As.
+Crz4wizard Thank you for those suggestions!
Well said
yea i am looking to transition but all mainlinea said no lol i am 6 months in at the regional. But I will keep on trying !
+alohakiwi Yes girl keep trying! It will happen for you 🙂✈️
hey abony where r u? I'm missing u. and wait for ur videos. ☺💓💓💓
+HEART BROKER Hey! I'm recording 2 new videos this weekend! I'm excited. I'll make them available soon!
How were you able to care for yourself financially with the regional carrier I noticed that they pay a lot less than main line also and I guess that’s my biggest concern
Hey girl! Love your videos! Do you wear eyelash extensions??
+Haley Harv Thank you! No, I just wear strips 🙂
My dream is to be a flight attendant, but my English is poor. I am from Brazil! Who speaks English well is always ahead to get a job
+Butterfly Thayanne You should still try and apply to the job. While also learning as much English as you can to improve and be better. This dream could still happen for you!
Ebony Christina I believe! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I don't think my spirit would allow me to stay in that hotel. I would probably just pay for a motel 6 😂
I was at Northwest Airlines years ago and they were puchased by delta .
So long story short I have 3 applications out right now American,Delta ., Alaska oh and frontier... Do you think if I don't get response from any of the mainline it's safe to go with frontier since they are a low cost carrier or skip them??
I did vi with one mainline last week so still hopeful for them,but just wondered thoughts on frontier if they are my only chance to get new experience since my airline career was about 16 years ago now. Thank you for your time.
hey ebony💖 I am definitely looking to go mainline. Im curious to know what the application process was like when u transferred from regional to mainline. I've been with my regional carrier for only a few months. how long did u wait to mainline when u were with your regional carrier?
How many days a week do you work? And are you usually away from home staying in hotels the majority of the time? I want to become a flight attendant but I am kind of hesitating because I feel I’d be away from home too much and my relationship would start to go down hill.
Do you think it will be easier to go from Mesa Airlines or Republic Airlines to Mainline. Ive applied to PSA,.Envoy, Endeavor but haven’t heard back. I was a mainline FA back in 1996-2001 with Northwest Airlines so applied to AA and Delta . I got to F2F with AA but didn’t make it :(.. Delta just said TBNT after video. Any advice. I have VI with Mesa and Republic today and tomorrow.
hellooo
my height is 1.55 do you think there is any chance for me to become a flight attendant? :(
Great information, just wondering if when working for a regional airline, will one have time to work a few days a month as a nurse which is what I currently do. I really want to keep my RN license since I feel that it would be an asset as a flight attendant. Thanks!
Hey I can answer this for you. I think you may be getting regional confused with reserve. Regional just means the type of flying your doing. Think of mainline being intentional flights (better pay and better benefits) and think of regional being domestic (lower pay, okay benefits).
Reserve is when you FIRST start as a flight attendant whether that’s mainline or regional. Reserve is like your probation period when you are on call. Now that you have that information, let me answer your question.
Being that we all start off on reserve, you’re pretty much on call. When they call you, you have to report to work. This can last from 6 months to a year depending on the airline. Having a second job would definitely help financially during your reserve period but it’ll be a little difficult since you’ll be on call. I’d suggest maybe looking into a travel agency? That’s a great question and I hope I helped.
hey guys i will have to do my Spark Hire video... It is Hard???
do you have to pay for your lodging or is deducted from your pay?
+Mimi S The airline pays for the hotel
Did you have to quit your regional airline job??
+Lauren// To go Mainline, yes I did.
i didnt find the "fly girls fb page " you mentioned in one of your videos. Is the spelling right?⁉
Eily Honey it's flygirlsguide
where are you based now?
I love.i can make arequest?
Thank you! Sure you can
Thank you, my daughter always sees your videos, I wanted to ask you a favor, my daughter likes a very typical movement, it is about moving neck from side to side horizontally, it is her favorite movement, she is 8 years old, you could make a video Short making those moves and dedicate it? Would be a big surprise for her, if you do not think ebien, tell me, I'll understand
If it does not seem right, tell me, and I will not bother you any more, I promise
Supercute face
hey abony I got a call letter from domestic airline but they ask me for caution money. is airline want money before job.plz answer me as soon as possible. waiting for you.
+HEART BROKER No an airline would usually never ask you for money before getting the job. It could be a scam so be careful.
thank you dear love you. u save me.
🎄😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
Is there an actual height requirement to being a flight attendant?
+reginald lucas Yes and each airline is different. You can check their website for specific requirements.
I thought you had to have short nails!?
hey beautiful! I message you on Ig
I'm replying to my DM's tonight. Resend it so I can make sure I get it.
I don’t like Trump lol BUT gahhhh veryyyyy Nice 👍🏽
Have you ever considered being a mentor 🥹❤️
I've been working for a regional for about 9 months now! Aspiring to apply to JetBlue when they start hiring again! Thanks for the video it was really inspiring to continue my FA journey!
