Okay then just wanted to know also about the money just wanted to know because it will be to late when i grow older and wont be able to live also if any of my friends cousins or people i know who want to be a flight attendant wont blame me for there life.
Dont get what your saying but okay yeah and i wont be able to live on about about 20,000 and i don't want people blaming me for there salary and blaming me for encouraging them to do a job that pays less.
If you're looking for a job that pays enough to support you and your entire family, I dont think cc is the right one for you. You're only 15 so your best bet would be to work that bumbaleery off at school then work hard at uni.
Hell, you could even train to be a pilot if flying is really a passion. But I really dont think cc is a job someone could do if their only motivation was pay day or how much sleep they can get
Hello once again the sleeping is not a thing but the pay is i want to be able to survive and i dont have enough time because it should be now i should be thinking about what to do i have thought of becoming a pilot and i do want to become one but i posted my cabin crew post here if my wish of becoming a pilot does not happen hopefully it will.
Hi everybody.
I am 22 years old, college student living in Dublin, Ireland.
I am originally from S.Korea and I've been living in Ireland for 5 years. I would love to be a flight attendant in Europe, especially in Germany or Ireland & UK but it's hard since the primary requirement of most airlines is like 'valid European passport holders'
I don't know how to start looking for a job here in Europe!!!
I wish i spoke 3 diff languages...wow! I am cc at bmi at the moment and prev to that, Silverjet, Tommy Cook and BMIbaby. I didnt start flying until i hit 30'ish by which time I had a house, a car, a loan or two!
Have you considered working abroad for a Middle Eastern airline? There are many of them and if you research heard enough many crawl out of the woodwork through private recruitement agencies too such as flydubai and arabjet.
Many of my friends work for Emirates, a few for Ethihad and Gulf also. They really love it including the tax free pay and other benefits.They also speak languages. I know that Emirates has a min age limit and others dont so worth looking at.
You are young and open minded so do not tie yourself down to a job in the UK if you dont have many responsibilities. Your age puts you at an advantage to experience the best of what is out there and not just in this country.
umm too young for the M.E airlines, 20 for GF and QR 21 for EK and EY. If you listen to the people who are in the job you will find Flybe and Monarch come out ahead of Easy. FR...?? no comment!! You need to be fluent to work for a foreign National carrier so perhaps you could get a job in customer service, particularly the hospitality industry in your chosen country for the next couple of years until you are old enough to apply or they start recruiting again, whichever comes first!! Customer service is key so if for example you wanted to try for Lufthansa then a couple of years as a Hotel receptionist in Germany would be a huge advantage.

Universal Training Standard / Licence for Cabin Crews?
I have a few questions in regards to cabin crew training and qualifications. It seems that almost all airlines provide in-house training for their cabin crews. I have stumbled upon a few 3rd party "schools" but am not sure how they can certify you to fly for various airlines.
Is there some sort of legislation or universal training standard that all cabin crew must attain in order to become qualified and operational?
eg. Water egress training, first aid, emergency slide operation ect...
If so, can anyone point me in the right direction of this document? I'm interested in the ICAO world in general, and the EASA / JAA Pan-European part of the world in particular...
EDIT: I have seen a number of flight attendant "schools" that purport to give "certificates" to will help them get flight attendant jobs.
It sounds like a scam as it doesnt seem to really give you any qualifications that would allow you to skip some / all the preliminary training an airline would put you through anyway...
Any thoughts on this?
Are there any notable 3rd party companies which do the training of cabin crews which are recognized by airlines to the extent that they would hire them without having to go through the same in-house training as a new hire flight attendant with no prior training?
Does anyone have an online copy of ICAO DOC 7192 Training Manual Part E1 Ed 2 – Cabin Attendants Safety Training?

hi im new onto this site, so im sorry if someone has already posted something about tattoos, but i REALLY want to become cabin crew, and i have all the right requirements, except for the fact that i have a tattoo. its really small and on the back of my neck, and it would be covered up if i was wearing a shirt with a collar. are most airlines really picky about this, or would it stop me getting a job? i could also cover it with make up or a plaster, but would this be allowed? thanks!
hi, im courtney. i have been wanting to be part of cabin crew since the age of 6. i am now 15 nearly 16 and i am leaving school this May. Does anybody have any ideas or tips on what to do as soon as i leave school? write back please x
hello the only thing you really need is customer service experience. Anything else is a bonus (ie second language, hospitality experience, )
So when you leave school I would advise you to get a job in a shop, restaurant, bar, care home, bank, telesales.... anything really. If you want to go to college/uni then try to work part time if possible because almost every airline needs you to have 2 years customer service experience. You could start now with a Saturday job at tesco/ a local charity shop / volunteering with elderly or disabled people.
And start thinking about which airline you want to work for so you can research research research and be totally prepared when you go to the OD.
