Hi everyone,

I wanted some genuine advice from people working in aviation/hospitality, especially cabin crew.

My cousin brother has recently passed 12th, but his financial condition isn’t strong enough to support a 3–4 year degree right now. He’s looking for a quicker path to start earning.

I suggested he consider a training program from institutes like Frankfinn (around 10–11 months), which claim to prepare students for roles in aviation, hospitality, or cabin crew and also offer placement support.

However, I’m a software engineer and don’t have much knowledge about how reliable or useful these programs actually are in the real world.

So I wanted to ask:

Are institutes like Frankfinn genuinely helpful for getting jobs?

Is it realistically possible to become cabin crew after such courses?

What are the actual requirements airlines look for (skills, appearance, communication, etc.)?

Are there better or more affordable alternatives he should consider?

Would really appreciate honest insights, especially from people already in the industry.

Thanks in advance!
