Quite an arrogant answer!
FAs are no different than pilots when it comes to intelligence, ability. They are simply the ones who decided not to be pilots.
If you had flown BA 747 from LHR to JFK in the early 90s, there’s a fair chance you might have been served coffee by a Flight Attendant who flew for Royal Air Force, was part of RAF Red Arrows, and a qualified BA 747-400 SIC. He chose to work as a FA when he was furloughed. BTW, he’s now a BA 747-400 captain!
A different example would be an American Airlines FA who decided to become a pilot. She did. End up working for American ten years later…now she’s a 737 captain.
Just wanted to give you an ‘attitude check’!
Anyone, yes, ANYONE can become a pilot!
