Ross uploaded the aforementioned job posting to his Instagram stories earlier this week.
“Hey, what’s up, this is the game’s biggest boss.” In the video, Ross can be seen pointing to the specially designed Gulfstream G550 private plane he revealed this summer and saying, “Right behind me is Maybach Air.” “RICK RO$$” is etched in gold across its side. “And boss Ricky Rozay is searching for his own personal flight attendant for the first time.”
Ross claims that the “personal cabin attendant” will make between $85,000 and $115,000 a year. The position requires a wide range of qualifications. According to Ross, candidates need to have previous experience working as flight attendants, have “that positive vibe,” want to “travel the world,” and “be about our business.” “Let’s act appropriately.”
Will you get first class if you dress up? An airline attendant dispels folklore.
“You have to be able to prepare the cuisine and serve the cuisine,” as well. I’ve experienced seizures while flying before; you must be capable of performing CPR.”
Ross urged: “Only serious vibes.” Only take serious queries.
How does the gig compare, then? To find out, we went to actual flight attendants.
To begin with, the pay. In the world of corporate flight attendants, Ross’s range is considered poor, even if it is greater than the norm for commercial flight attendants.
Jamie Gibson, a chef and private flight attendant, stated, “What I’ve seen running flight staffing and recruitment, the salaries are higher for an account of that nature, especially if you want someone experienced.” “You’re getting up to $200,000 if you live on the East or West Coast, and that doesn’t even include benefits and other stuff.”
Alejandro Contreras, a nine-year veteran flight attendant stationed in Washington, D.C., advises prospective employees to enquire during their interview as to whether they receive travel expenses or per diems in order to better assess whether they’re receiving a decent deal.
“You would also need to consider things like, ‘Hey, will I have to cover my own lodging costs?’ Do I stay where the rest of you do? stated Contreras. “That would have a significant impact.”
Flight attendants’ meal prep and use of tiny Crock-Pots
Elizabeth Simpson, a commercial flight attendant, claims she isn’t enticed to take the Ross position because she has heard too many terrifying tales from colleagues who fly on private planes with famous clients. First off, said to Simpson, an eight-year pilot, “it’s posted on social media as like a cattle call versus going through an actual agency.”
In contrast to a commercial flight attendant who has a fixed schedule and can take on additional hours, Ross likely requires you to be available 24/7.
“Someone may call you while you’re comfortable in bed and say, ‘Hey, I need you to be at the airfield in a few hours.'” We must travel to Dubai,” Simpson declared.
Furthermore, considering the rapper’s public demeanor and lyrics, the new job posting raises concerns about workplace issues. In 2017, Ross said he doesn’t hire female artists because he would have sex with them. For this, he was publicly apologized to. Where might an airline attendant file a possible complaint? Does Maybach Music have an HR department?
Simple Flying adds that the cost of a jet like Ross’s, which has two Rolls-Royce engines and room for up to 19 passengers, is between $15 million to $20 million. That is a large number of passengers for the flight attendant who is on duty to serve.
“You’re responsible for obtaining everything you’ll need for the client ahead of time, in addition to being obliged to cook on a private jet,” Simpson added.

Gibson concurs. Private flight attendants often serve as “the primary caretaker of that aircraft,” although precise roles and responsibilities differ depending on the customer, the spokesperson added. “Many off-duty tasks go into it, such as stocking it, refilling it, taking inventory, and ensuring that expiration dates are still valid.”
She went on, “It’s similar to managing an estate.”
When it comes to in-flight food, peanuts and pretzels are probably not going to cut it for a rap billionaire. (However, since Ross is a franchisee, takeout from Wingstop, Rally’s, or Checkers might.)
Simpson speculated that “they might have something extravagant in mind.” “He’s trying to impress his clients, so if he wants to have a hibachi-themed dinner, you’re going to have to go to YouTube or TikTok to learn how to hibachi real quick.”
Celebrities make heavy use of private aircraft. Climate change is a nightmare.
The perfect applicant will probably also need to sign a nondisclosure agreement, on top of usual responsibilities like maintaining the safety of the crew and passengers and tracking down Ross’s numerous endorsements.
Gibson stated that discretion is “one of the pillars of being a corporate flight attendant.”
Which begs the question: Is it really worth it to fly around the world with Rick Ross if you can’t post about it?
“It sounds fantastic in theory, but when you get right down to business, you have to fulfill those demands,” Simpson remarked.
