Gulfstream private aircraft are considered large cabin aircraft and thus require different training than other classes of private jet. The larger cabin means that more equipment, passengers and forms of service are in play than in less spacious aircraft. The difference is similar to jumbo versus commuter jet commercial services.
Training for Gulfstream flight attendants consists of medical instruction, company guidelines, and service instruction. Together these elements are designed to address most issues that may arise during business aircraft flights.
Trainees for Gulfstream flight attendant positions can expect to spend three weeks or more learning the trade. This initial training is followed by a real-world apprenticeship and testing in preparation for the position. Yearly continuing education courses are also required.
Gulfstream flight attendants selected by Net Jets are required to have a background in luxury services, very good communication skills, and a college degree.
