Is it hard to land when sitting in the captain's lap? Just kidding,
I hope the attendant gets a chance to fly for American as a pilot.

It's a very big step from being licensed as a commercial pilot
and being licensed with an ATR (airline transport rating).

The other consideration is that she probably has seniority as a flight
attendant, and the job security which goes with it. To move to the
flight cabin would put her at the bottom of the totem pole.
