Join Piedmont Airlines as a Flight Attendant – Based in Charlotte, Philadelphia, or Harrisburg!
At Piedmont Airlines, we take pride in delivering industry-leading service that sets the standard for regional aviation. Behind that reputation is a team of dedicated, level-headed professionals who genuinely care about the safety and comfort of every passenger who steps onboard. We are currently looking for motivated, reliable individuals to join our Inflight Service Department as Flight Attendants on American Eagle flights.
This role is for someone who thrives on independence. You will work largely without direct supervision in the aircraft cabin, handling a wide range of situations—from routine service to unexpected emergencies—while staying calm, professional, and focused. If you are someone who naturally takes charge when needed, connects easily with people from all walks of life, and is looking for a career that keeps you moving, Piedmont might be your perfect fit.
What You'll Be Doing Day to Day?
Your primary responsibility will always be safety, but your daily work will touch nearly every aspect of the passenger experience. Expect to:
- Ensure the safety and physical comfort of passengers throughout every flight
- Take the lead during both emergency and non-emergency situations, guiding passengers with clarity and confidence
- Work independently in the cabin, making real-time decisions without on-site supervision
- Adapt to a wide variety of climates, locations, and shifting schedules
- Interact continuously with the traveling public, handling everything from routine questions to unexpected challenges with professionalism and poise

- A valid passport that allows unrestricted travel to and from the United States
- A professional appearance, with no visible tattoos, no facial or upper ear piercings, and no unnatural hair colors while in uniform
- A height between 5'2" (158 cm) and 6'0" (183 cm)
- The physical ability to walk and fit comfortably down the aircraft aisle while facing forward, move efficiently through the over-wing exit, and sit in the jump seat without modifications or a seat belt extension
- Willingness to work shifts up to 14 hours per day
- A clean driving record, ability to pass a 10-year criminal history records check, and a pre-employment drug screen
It's Even Better If You Have:
- A bachelor's degree

- Lifting objects up to 50 pounds on your own
- Pulling or pushing a catering cart weighing more than 150 pounds

- Work at airport ramp and warehouse environments, with exposure to varied weather conditions and elevated noise levels
- All shifts, including weekdays, weekends, nights, holidays, and irregular schedules
- Extensive travel, including consecutive nights away from your base
Training – Your First Step
