Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Flight Attendants

C-37 in-flight duties and knowledge of aircraft emergency procedures and flight equipment provide a foundation for cabin safety work.

How to prepare: Apply to airlines that provide initial flight-attendant training after hiring, with particular attention to learning passenger evacuation and cabin safety procedures. Under 49 USC 44728, flight attendants serving aboard air-carrier aircraft with 20 or more seats must hold the FAA Certificate of Demonstrated Proficiency, issued after successful completion of FAA-approved air-carrier training.

What the civilian work involves
  • Verify that first aid kits and other emergency equipment, including fire extinguishers and oxygen bottles, are in working order.
  • Announce and demonstrate safety and emergency procedures, such as the use of oxygen masks, seat belts, and life jackets.
  • Direct and assist passengers in emergency procedures, such as evacuating a plane following an emergency landing.

Notes & Sources

  • Flight attendants receive aircraft-type-specific training and annual recurrent training.
