BW in Kennesaw, Georgia 49 months ago	I am going to the open house on the 14th. Is anyone else going to that one? This will be my first open house and I'm a little nervous. I've read for some of the other companies open houses, you should arrive really early so you get in...does anyone know if the same is true for Airtran. Any info would be really great! - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
FLyygirl in Fort Lauderdale, Florida 49 months ago	is the open house invite only?? please send info if not... Thanks - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
BW in Kennesaw, Georgia 49 months ago	I don't think so. I just saw it on their website today. Here is the link www.airtran.com/Jobs/info_sessions.aspx I guess it is actually an info session. I'm not sure if that is different than an open house. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Katie R. in Atlanta, Georgia 49 months ago	Hey Yall! I just randomly found this forum online just now, pretty interesting! I am in the May 19th class as well. Can't wait to get started. I was originally supposed to be in the March 24th class, but I couldnt make that one, so they pushed it back to like the middle of April, but then informed me that that class was canceled. So I finally got into a class. Can't wait to get started and to meet everyone! - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Yeah I know that area of "unknown" is annoying. I do not have any kids no- I kinda have always wanted to become a FA, I have always loved traveling, I am I guess you can say somewhat nomadic! :-) - Was this comment helpful?

MPE in Ocoee, Florida 49 months ago	BW in Kennesaw, Georgia said: Does anyone know how early I should plan on arriving for an info session? Thanks in advance for any info!! Hi there BW- when I went to the info session for FA I got there like 20 mins early- and the room was PACKED. We had close to 110 people show up in MCO, so I would recommend getting there around 30 early (thats just my opinion). They will make you sign in and give you a number. Are you going for FA or CSA?? Whichever it is- best of luck! - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
BW in Kennesaw, Georgia 49 months ago	Thanks for the info! I'm applying for FA and I am sooo excited!!! Thanks again - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

How long did it take your background check to come back? i have no idea... like they fingerprint you and all that and i guess do the check really soon after that. they never let me know that it was completed or anything, i just got my letter saying i was cleared for training. so i guess as long as you dont hear from them about the background check then everything came back fine! - Was this comment helpful?
