The overall experience was wonderful and I am glad I made the choice to attend. The best part for me was the interview preparation. I left feeling more confident than I ever had going into a job interview.

I am officially a flight attendant for Breeze! Training was the hardest thing I have ever done but the reward is absolutely worth it. The Academy gave me the preparation I needed to shine during my interview.

I got my conditional job offer from American Airlines (my top choice) and I could not be happier. Feels good for that dream to finally become a reality. I could not have done it without this team.
