If someone really wants to become a pilot, becoming a flight attendant first is not the best route. Especially for Mesa. Little to no schedule flexibility, horrendously low pay. Better off bartending. Seriously.
However, it is a good way to get exposure to the lesser points of an airline career and may help with the final decision of that is a lifestyle you see yourself in.
Do it at least a year so it doesn’t look like resume fodder.
Then get an Airport job that allows you to train on the side. You could have your CFI in a year and back at the place you worked at as an FA in 3 years from now.
