Quite simply, the answer is NO, we don't, however, if you wish to fly Long Haul (International) then you will have a far greater chance of securing a job if you do have one or more of the particular Airlines preferred languages. For example, if the airline you wish to work for, flies mainly to Asian countries, then learn or brush up on a language or languages for the countries they fly to. This will hold you in much better light to the recruitment team.
Good luck

How much do flight attendants make?
Well it actually depends on the airline, whether it is a low-cost/no-frills airline(e.g. Southwest Airlines) or a legacy airline (e.g. American Airlines), I think the earlier answer "about 7 dollars an hour minimum to about 30" meant for the low-cost/no-frills airlines. Flight attendants from legacy airlines earn half as a pilot. As they say: "A pilot earns much more than a regular business man" so if a pilot earns much more than a regular business man, image how much a flight attendant earns.Earnings also depends on which route a particular flight attendant is assigned, how many miles that particular route will be flying and so. Flight attendants who fly International routes earn much more than flight attendants on Domestic routes or Commuters.A flight attendant can also demand for higher salary than the usual salary as long as it is reasonable, such as you experience or hours of flying and the like.

Median annual earnings of flight attendants were $53,780 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $33,320 and $77,410. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $24,250, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $99,300. According to data from the Association of Flight Attendants, beginning attendants had median earnings of $15,849 a year in 2006. Beginning pay scales for flight attendants vary by carrier, however. New hires usually begin at the same pay scale regardless of experience, and all flight attendants receive the same future pay increases based on an established pay scale. Some airlines offer incentive pay for working holidays, night and international flights, or taking positions that require additional responsibility or paperwork. Flight attendants and their immediate families are entitled to free or discounted fares on their own airline and reduced fares on most other airlines. Some airlines require that the flight attendant be with an airline for 3 to 6 months before taking advantage of this benefit. Other benefits may include medical, dental, and life insurance; 401K or other retirement plan; sick leave; paid holidays; stock options; paid vacations; and tuition reimbursement. Flight attendants also receive a ?per diem? allowance for meal expenses while on duty away from home. Flight attendants are required to purchase uniforms and wear them while on duty. The airlines usually pay for uniform replacement items, and may provide a small allowance to cover cleaning and upkeep of the uniforms. The majority of flight attendants hold union membership, primarily with the Association of Flight Attendants. Other unions that represent flight attendants include the Transport Workers Union of America and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Are flight atttendants in high demand?
Competition for jobs is expected to remain keen because the opportunity for travel attracts more applicants than there are jobs. Employment change. Employment of flight attendants is expected to grow 11 percent, about as fast as the average for all occupations over the 2006-16 projection period. Population growth and an improving economy are expected to boost the number of airline passengers. As airlines expand their capacity to meet rising demand by increasing the number and size of planes in operation, more flight attendants will be needed. Job prospects. Despite growing demand for flight attendants, competition is expected to be keen because this job usually attracts more applicants than there are jobs, with only the most qualified eventually being hired. College graduates who have experience dealing with the public should have the best chance of being hired. Job opportunities may be better with the faster growing regional and commuter, low-cost, and charter airlines. There also are job opportunities for professionally trained flight attendants to work for companies operating private aircraft for their executives. The majority of job opportunities through the year 2016 will arise from the need to replace flight attendants who leave the labor force or transfer to other occupations, often for higher earnings or a more stable lifestyle. With the job now viewed increasingly as a profession, however, fewer flight attendants leave their jobs, and job turnover is not as high as in the past. The average job tenure of attendants is currently more than 14 years and is increasing. In the long run, opportunities for persons seeking flight attendant jobs should improve as the airline industry expands. Over the next decade, however, demand for flight attendants will fluctuate with the demand for air travel, which is highly sensitive to swings in the economy. During downturns, as air traffic declines, the hiring of flight attendants declines, and some experienced attendants may be laid off until traffic recovers.Source: U.S. Department of Labor
