Hiya,
Pacific Blue/Polynesian Blue are now advertising and recruiting directly as previously this was done through a company called Contract Aircrew Services. As of the 18/07 Contract Aircrew Services decided to not continue its contract with Pacific Blue/Polynesian Blue therefore they are now recruiting direct. They are at the moment re-doing their contracts with current staff and new staff that are coming on board.
And yes face painting is one aspect of training which they do as you can imagine during school holidays there are a lot of UNCH on board and this is just another way of providing a service to their guests.
