Flight attendants only need a high school diploma or GED, but anyone who wants to be a flight attendant needs extensive training. Training focuses on in-flight customer service, but flight attendants also are charged with preparing and securing the cabin during flights and ensuring the safety of passengers. Some independent schools offer flight attendant school training in Texas, and one major airline trains its own flight attendants in Dallas and Houston.
