Want to become a flight attendant but with missing tooth
Hello!
I’m 25 years old, living in the Philippines and currently working in the medical field. I really love my job, but sometimes, I feel like I also want to pursue a career as a flight attendant (FA).
I have the height and looks naman, but the only concern I have is my teeth. I’m missing one of my first molars, and I still have my braces on.
I can have my braces removed if necessary, but my main concern is my missing tooth. It’s also somewhat visible when I smile, so I’m worried that it might affect my application.
Has anyone here been hired as a flight attendant despite having a missing tooth? What did you do? Or do airlines reject applicants because of this kind of imperfection once they find out?
Please help me. I don’t want to risk leaving my current job just to pursue a career as an FA, but I still want to explore this opportunity. I’m just worried about whether my dental condition might affect my chances of getting hired, considering the airlines’ qualifications and requirements.
I would really appreciate hearing your experiences and advice. Thank you!
