For most people, the job of airline staff is an exciting,stimulating,and rewarding career. Although becoming an airline employee is generally thought to be a woman's job,there are also some men who apply. In general the requirements for employment,as well as the training and duties for men working with an airline,are similar to those of women. Each airline has its own special requirements which the applicants must fulfill. The requirements also vary from positions and duties performed on the job. The first step for anyone who would like to work with an airline is to study the requirements for each position.
