Airlines train their own, and do now want anyone from some third party airline school. Those are a scam. First she has to be selected by an airline, then they will send her to their own training school. She will need enough money to live on for the duration of her training, as she won't get paid in that time. Employment will be conditional on her successfully completing her training.

Given the state of the commercial airlines and regional, I would highly suggest that you mom looks at Net Jets from Teteboro NJ or any corpoate jet opportunities

All flight attendant training schools are scams. The airlines train there own employees.(Since all most all airlines use different aircrafts and also have different safety procedures)The training normally takes 1 to 3 months depending on the airline. But you absolutely do not have to pay for your living expenses. Your mother will be put up in a hotel near the airlines hub. She will have to pay for food. But lodging and transportation are provided. The first step to obtaining a Flight Attendant position is: -1. Go on-line to different airlines websites (Delta, AirTran, United, Southwest, Northwest, AA, Continental. etc) check and make sure your mom meets all the requirements ( Height, weight, strength, second language, criminal background. etc) -2. Fill out on-line application. (since all airlines now start the process this way) -3. Wait for the series of interviews most airlines have at least two. -4. Make sure mom has a valid passport, *can lift 50-70lbs over her head, *make sure all medications she is taking won't interfere with her job. (get dr's note) *Can bend down and reach the ground Good Luck and I hope this helps.

Airlines train their own employees through a couple month program, depending on the airline and duties of flight attendants. Northwest Airlines has a hub in Memphis so I would check nwa.com for further information.
