Breaking Barriers in the Sky: How Veronica Brown’s Flight Ready Academy Is Preparing the Next Generation of Flight Attendants
When Veronica Brown first stepped onto an aircraft cabin in the late 1990s, she didn’t just see a job—she saw a calling. Over nearly three decades, Brown navigated the highs and lows of airline life, from serving global passengers to championing diversity as a union leader and trainer. Now, she’s bringing that experience to the digital classroom with the launch of Flight Ready Academy, a self-paced online program for aspiring flight attendants.
Unlike traditional training that begins only after an airline hire, Flight Ready Academy gives students a competitive edge before the interview even happens. The seven-module program blends airline expectations, FAA-aligned safety insights, and customer service essentials with modern interactive learning tools.
But beyond technical knowledge, Brown’s vision is rooted in representation and accessibility. For decades, Black and Brown flight attendants faced systemic barriers to entering and thriving in the profession. Flight Ready Academy honors that history while opening new doors for today’s diverse learners.
“Our mission is simple,” says Brown. “We’re here to help aspiring flight attendants walk into their first interview with confidence, knowledge, and the sense that they belong in the sky.”
Brown is also the author of *INDISPUTABLE – An African-American Flight Attendant Experience*, a powerful memoir that sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of being a Black woman in aviation. Together, her book and academy form a dual legacy—documenting the past while preparing the future.
The program’s introductory tuition is $797, with partnership opportunities for schools and colleges through CTE pathways. Each graduate earns a Certificate of Completion that demonstrates readiness and commitment to potential employers.
With its official launch on October 15, 2025, Flight Ready Academy is more than just a training program—it’s a movement to shape the future of aviation by ensuring that every student, no matter their background, has a chance to soar. Learn more at www.getflightready.com.
