"I hAve taken safety training about 40 times in my career and not once did one of the trainers refer to themselves as someone hired as a Safety Trainer."
Well that's because, up until now, all current SEP trainers are ex cabin crew who have left flying for various reasons, such as family or career progression. The new boss of SEP training (K.W.) was brought in from Qantas last year. It is her desire to bring in more experienced trainers from outside Emirates to revamp our training ethos and standards. Change will take time but it's a step in the right direction. This is not a wasted interview purely for fairness or statistical purposes. It is a genuine new position of which several are available. It is aimed at raising the bar and delivering high standard training.
The gentleman who's enquiring is from the UK and has almost 20 years of cabin crew experience with a highly reputable Charter Airline. He is a current SEP trainer and is not, for our racist and bigoted colleagues out there, a 'jingly'! Would it have bothered you if he was?
Perhaps a few more of you need to engage those highly intelligent brains before posting!
