Thanks Flyblue! I applied with them last week but I'm not sure it will work... under Swissair, they used to be very strict with languages: only people fluent in german (+ english or italian or french) could become cabin crew! We'll see! For sure they won't offer me "international" but still I would be happy with "intercontinental"!
I also would like to mention to other Ppruners interested in working for Swiss that one of the reasons vacancies are not filled yet is because applicants need a Swiss passport, a residency permit or a valid work permit to be considered, since Switzerland is not part of the EU.
I also reckon the main reason why Swiss residents are not applying is because of the salary: by experience, there is no way someone can live in Zurich or Geneva with a base salary of Sfr. 3500.- per month before taxes, unless you share accomodation, renounce to your wheels, never catch up with friends, reduce yourself to starvation......
No kidding! It's really tough! Nothing personal against Swiss (in fact I applied) but if it wasn't for Mr. FJ bringing the bread home............
Honestly I don't know! Maybe living on the other side of the border and coming in every day is the solution...
Mrs. FJ
p.s. Thanks Leemo! I give it a try!
