A friend of mine has recently started with Aer Lingus as Cabin crew. Its a seasonal contract due to end this October.

From memory pay is approx EUR900 a month plus flight pay plus overnight allowances. All new crew are DUB based, the flying is shorthaul with overnights in London, Amsterdam and possibly Cork (not sure about that one). There is no cost for training and the uniform is free. A lot of earlies and lates on the roster.

The training is first class and would position you nicely if you chose to work with another airline.

With regard to swimming it is a requirement, however most of the training is carried out wearing the life jacket and being able to put it on while threading water, depending on the airline you may have to swim 20-25m. Don't worry to much about it.

I certainly wouldnt let it put you of
