Most people have the impression that being a cabin crew is just a high class waiter and nothing more. So I am not surprise that I get the above question the most when they intend to apply as one. There are actually career progressions for when you join as a junior crew whether you chose to fly or prefer a management position on ground.
Let's start with the bottom position all the way to the top if you chose to be a cabin crew as a lifelong career. Different airlines have different rank for example in MAS/SQ, there are four ranking from a normal Flight stewardess to leading stewardess, chief stewardess and finally In flight supervisor.
As for emirates you start off as a grade 2 (economy), then to Grade 1 (Business), Fg1 (First class), SFS (Senior Flight Stewardess), Purser and finally to the highest which is the SFP (Senior flight purser).
As a FP or IFS, you are in charge of the overall cabin which may have as many as 400 to 850 passengers depending on which aircraft you operate. That is a huge responsibility and though it is a plane, that is like a restaurant with 80 tables assuming 10 people to 1 table.
After the role as a FP or IFS, you can chose to become a cabin crew manager who is in charge of the overall welfare, performance and promotion of the cabin crew. Besides, you can also apply as cabin crew recruitment manager. So as you can see from the above, there is a steady progression in your career and promotion normally depends on how well you perform in your job.
I have known people who flew for their entire life and they enjoy every single minute of it. I guess in whatever career you chose, you need to have a passion and interest for it and if you do, I can tell you that you will not feel like dragging yourself to work each time and in fact look forward to it. As for me, I really do enjoy flying and each month I look forward to my roster, getting ready to experience and explore whatever destination that I have been rostered.
