movie. I sent them several boxes of stuff. They LOVED it! As we were talking about fashion and how it would be used properly, they learned that I was a flight attendant and started using me as a flight attendant consultant for the movie. They even flew me out to Burbank, California. When I got there and started giving pointers to get the proper procedures right for the film, they asked if I would be interested in being a flight attendant extra in the movie! JEFF: Wow; so, you’re a movie star!? Is that how you started FA Prep Academy? LIA: Well, I don’t know about movie star; but, yes, I was in the movie. The FA Academy sort of started about the same time as the movie, actually. As a flight attendant, there were two questions that I was asked more than anything. The first was, “Where is your favorite layover?” FYI, it’s Austin, Texas. The people and atmosphere are great. It’s just a great place. Secondly, I get the question, “How do you get started as a flight attendant?” That put the bug in my ear to start something to help people get started. So I did. Since I’m in the Industry, I know the ins and outs. I’ve established the connections with the airlines, I know what they are looking for. In 2014, I launched FA Prep Academy. Now, I have earned the reputation of providing quality education for people interested in becoming a flight attendant and the airlines know they are hiring someone with the skills they need when they come through FAPrep.com. It’s so competitive that it’s virtually unheard of to get hired off the streets for a flight attendant position anymore. You have to know someone and have the skill set.

JEFF: Now in your fourth year, how’s it going? LIA: Thanks for asking. We actually have a 90% placement rate with our graduates because we have agreements with several airlines. We connect our people where it makes the most sense.
