Male f/a's, forgetaboutit?
Howdy,
After many years of commercial airlinework i wanted to give corporate aviation a shot.
However, i am no blonde Ukranian bombshell or French feline, i am a 6'2 37 year old guy....weird huh!
I find it extremely difficult or impossible to get a foot in the corporate door, even when there are job openings posted on company websites.
It seems that there just aren't any male f/a's around at all!
I have alot of relevant hospitality experience, both as f/a and as supervisor for a major european airline, know my languages etc.etc.
Regardless of the current climate but purely based on my gender, where would i be having the best chance to get even considered?
(US is out of the question because i don't have a green card, other than that i am pretty flexible)
I hope to get some serious pointers from folks that currently work in this business, all info is very welcome!
Thanx

Lots of families from the middle east are more comfortable with a male flight attendant. I know of 3 Gulfstream 550s based in Saudi or London that are managed by male cabin attendant.
Wait, make that 4, we have one in Austria too...

Well certainly nothing for male attendants for corporate in china. The first requirement is female, but that also goes for some airliners in china aswell.
Best of Luck...
