My CJO Journey
Meet Courtney - “The CJO Whisperer”
Hi, I’m Courtney, a Flight Attendant with Southwest Airlines, aviation mentor, content creator, and the person many aspiring Flight Attendants now know as “The CJO Whisperer.”
Before beginning my journey with Southwest, I interviewed with 10 major airlines and received Conditional Job Offers (CJO’s) from 8 of them — including Delta, United, American, JetBlue, and Southwest.
Over the years, I realized something important:
Most people are far more qualified than they think they are.
They simply don’t know how to position themselves in a way airlines recognize.
That’s where I come in.
My background includes:
✈️ 12+ years in aviation
✈️ Experience with America West, Piedmont/American Airlines, JetBlue, and Southwest
✈️ Supervisory & customer service aviation roles
✈️ 10+ years of hiring & recruiting experience as a business owner
Through my coaching, resume services, interview prep, and digital resources, I help aspiring Flight Attendants:
✔️ Translate their experience into airline-ready language
✔️ Build competitive resumes
✔️ Prepare strategically for interviews
✔️ Understand airline culture & hiring expectations
✔️ Walk into interviews feeling confident and prepared
But my mission goes beyond helping people get hired.
I truly believe aviation can create:
✈️ Freedom
✈️ Flexibility
✈️ Financial opportunity
✈️ Adventure
✈️ A lifestyle people genuinely enjoy
I want to help people not only secure their wings — but build a life they don’t constantly need a vacation from.
When I’m not coaching aspiring Flight Attendants, I’m creating content for my YouTube channel, Courtney In First Class, where I share:
🤎 Flight Attendant life
🤎 Affordable luxury travel
🤎 Layovers & non-rev adventures
🤎 Aviation career advice
🤎 Lifestyle & creator content
Thank you for being here and trusting me to be part of your journey.
