How easy is it to commute as a flight attendant?
I have a job interview soon with Miami Air. Although I am willing to commute I would prefer to stay in Charlotte. How hard would it be for me to commute? Does it make it any easier that Miami Air is a charter airline? And does anyone do something like this or know someone who does?

I think for regular passenger airlines if there is an empty seat, you can fly for free to get to your destination so you can start your job. As for charter, if the plane is empty there may not be a problem. Not sure if they will allow you to sit in the jump seat (seat behind the pilot). You can ask during the interview.

Ok, well. I think its gonna be harder for you. If you worked for a regular airlines, and that airline had multiple flights from home to eork, and back, you could just jump on any plane anytime. Since this is a charter airline, make sure they have "jumpseat agreements" with other airlines. This means that you can take a jumpseat on another carrier. If a regular seat is open, you can take that o ne instead. BUT that airline's employees have priority. This means that If there is one seat and they give it to you, you board the plane, and you are just waiting for them to shut door.... and one of that airline's employee shows up asking for the jumpseat, they will give it to them and ask you to give it up for them. If theres more flights, you can take next one, but if not, then you're screwed. Its always good to know which airlines your company has those agreements with, and also schedule of all flights from all airlines to your home city. that way you have a back up. Good luck, oh yeah, and it always helps to check the flight load status online and make reservation as well, that way they have u in the system when u show up, if possible. It was easy for me, because there were flights back and forth ever 1 hr to and from work aaaalll day. Good luck.
