breeze flight attendant training

everything in this post will be based on breeze airways FA training in salt lake city. before i went, i was scared with how little information was out there about it so here i am. i’ll try to hit every point but feel free to comment any questions.

take the study materials provided before training very seriously. i suggest making quizlets and dividing it by sections

KNOW THAT OVERWING EXIT BRIEFING VERBATIM!! you will have a drill for it on day 2. drills are private! just you and the instructor. i was so nervous the first day but don’t worry, you’ll get comfortable with your classmates and instructors real quick. take it day by day. most instructors are nice and will let you know “you need to know this” and others will just repeat the info and you can tell when they’re putting emphasis on it. take good notes, make flashcards, practice in the lobby of the hotel with classmates for your drills and once again DAY BY DAY! looking at the schedule and trying to study ahead is going to overwhelm you. the only thing i practiced ahead of time were the door drills because they are complicated at first. once you get it though, you’re golden.
that first week is basically orientation stuff, definitely enjoy it and build friendships with classmates if that’s your thing. 10 minute breaks are provided every hour, HYDRATE and go to the bathroom when you can. also get some sunshine, being cooped up inside can be bad for your mental health so definitely step outside to catch some rays. BE BACK ON TIME FROM BREAK. lunch is had either in the break room or some of us walked across the street to the mavericks gas station. there’s also a delicious taco truck parked in the lot weekdays until 4pm.

MONEY: a lot of us did not receive per diem until the very end. pls try to make sure you have enough money to survive the entire month. and maybe a little extra if you want to do some exploring on your days off. there is a union but we still have our first contract under the negotiation phase. A lot of people will tell you that Breeze is the worst because they’re one of the lowest paying airlines even for a regional. I decide to look at it as giving them time to grow because I genuinely love and believe in this company. If you’re in it for the money, you’re in the wrong career anyway

drill week aka hell week is so exhausting. but you can do it! just remember, one thing at a time. remember to breathe during your drills.
sometimes, instructors will take you to look at equipment or practice with the door. take advantage!! it may be your last chance before your actual drill. you get three chances at each drill. first two same day (if time allows), you just go to the back of the line to try again. third drill will be the following class day with a different instructor. (i’m sure there’s a story there)

the first drill i had to repeat, i was so disappointed in myself, but eventually you’re too tired to care. treat that first one as practice. if you get it- cool. if not, take it like a champ. you’ve got two more tries :)

just to name a few of the instructors you’ll be lucky to have:
norma jean
very entertaining and gave very good helpful tips to remember things. this woman LOVES her life, i was gonna say she loves teaching but i genuinely think she just loves her life as a whole lol
kinney (THAT girl)
omg i could say so much about this glorious woman. she is perfect in every way. personable, people first attitude, caring, SO FUNNY
MARKKKK!!!!!
he made us feel so comfortable, treated us like people, and reminded me of home. really nice how he always explained the “why” behind things.

i will admit that a few of the instructors i had, i did not like the first couple of days. BUT, as time went on, i grew to really like and appreciate them. They were just very serious and direct at first.

obviously treat it like a month long job interview. if they see anything behavior wise they don’t like, you will get an “occurrence.” you get three technically, but if it’s bad enough you can just get sent packing. you can also get them for missing items etc.

they will send you home for being late. if ur lucky enough to not live in utah and commute, be downstairs for that shuttle ON TIME! if you do live in utah and you’re commuting, be familiar with the traffic, one girl got sent home the week of graduation due to a wreck making her late. THEY DO NOT PLAYYYY🫣‼️
read everything you receive pre training thoroughly to ensure you know what to bring and how to best be prepared. there’s bound to be someone in your class who gets on your nerves, don’t crash out. stay focused. see you all in the skies! 💙🩵🧡🩷✈️
