Hi Sted,
Fingers crossed that you have made it through the recruitment process.
Britannia regulary monitor the amount of sickness each cabin crew member has, if you are sick 3 times in 6 months, then you are asked to have a welfare check - somethings in respect to flying may not agree with you and this will be considered when renewing your contract etc. You must be prepared to accept that your social life may not revolve around weekends but week days (boring !!!!) but the rewards you get for doing the job outweigh any disadvantages.
Our rosters have got a lot better since I started - what with the introduction of recovery days (days protecting your rest around flights and days off) and block standbys - all help you to have a steadier and more organised home life. And did anyone mention that a good bout of longhaul can get rid of any cold !!!!!!!
If you have any other questions, let us know and we'll try to answer them for you. Let's hope the Christmas post brings you good news !
Let us know how you've got on.
Love
BYlady
..........Would you like something from the trolley, Sir?
Also, forgot to mention that you have to sit you Safety Emergency Procedures Exams (SEPs) every year and every 3 years you have to do practical training (smoke filled cabin, fire fighting, restraint etc.) This is to renew you licence to fly and is compulsory.
Like World of Tweed states we're not trying to scare you, just saying how it is (same for every UK airline !!!).
Much Love,
Bylady
