Can you please find out which airline this was and remind me never to fly on them. If their SEP trainers are saying that then I would hate to think what you are taught for a cabin fire... or better yet a decompression!:ugh:
Recently we ahd an intake where one guy couldnt swim so they allowed him to get some swimming lessons and once he got a certificate he was invited for the next intake. Luckily that was just a couple of months later, but if you are required to wait, just more time to learn! Go for it! :ok: |
Get yourself down to your local pool then for some lessons!! If you have the confidence then you will be fine. Swimming is really very easy.

Be a Cabin Crew in UK
Hello everybody,
i'd like to know from one of you if the online course is a good value investiment http://www.cabincrewticket.co.uk there are some preety good feedback but you could never know do you think I should spend 75£ ??? let me know |
Hello
If you use the search engine on here, this question has been asked many times (regarding different diploma companies I must add). The answer usually given is a "no" as most airlines like to train you to their own standard. Personally I would save the £75 and put it towards a decent suit for any interviews that you might be lucky enough to get. Working for easyJet, a diploma would be pointless. You go through a selection process during an assessment day (they look at your personality, ability to operate as part of a team, how you cope with stress when performing a timed activity etc), the diploma won't help with that. You then have a formal interview (if you pass the assessment stage) and a diploma won't help with that as they will be asking you questions about yourself personally and how you have performed in certain situations before. And, when you commence training, the airline will train you to it's own standard, will provide you with location of SEP equipment, formal training on equipment, first aid and lot's more. So, save your money and just get applying to different airlines and good luck to you :) |
Ok Thanks so much
Getout... I'll check out by myself |

Interview process
Hi, new to the site, so please be gentle:O. I have just had my first interview through an agency for Swissport. I passed the interview session and the written test. They told me that the next step is to go to a session with Swissport. Does anybody know what this entails. I was also told that this recruitment drive was probably for Easyjet. Are there any height/weight restrictions working for them? Any advice appreciated. I am a 40 year old woman, looking to go into a career I have always wanted to do, and hope this is my chance to get in.

first choice & easy jet maths & english test
Hi i am applying to easy jet & first choice as cabin crew and am a bit worried about maths & english assessments can anyone give me advice on what they entail?:bored:
|
Hi lynner.
Well, usually for FCA the maths test is simple things like working out currency conversions, time differences, change etc. Don't forget your calculator as you are normally allowed to use this! Remember to swot up on the company as well because there is an exam based on what you know about the company...fleet, uk bases, routes, number of aircraft, managing director etc. The english part of the exam is normally a reading comprehension so all the answers are there, it's pretty simple!! Good luck! x |
Overnight accomodation
Hi
Can anyone tell me about the overnight accomodation provided by the airlines? Do you get much time off or do you have to fly straight back in the morning? Thanks Rachel |
Overnight Accomodation
Hi Rachel
The answer to your question depends very much on the airline you are working for and the type of flying that you will be doing. If you work for a shorthaul airline its possible you would'nt have that many nightstops away from base, however if you are nightstopping your employer will provide you with (generally) good quality accomodation and you will get an allowance towards your food. If you are doing longhaul you can be in a hotel for one or more nights before your return flight. I flew for 8 years and most of the accomodation was pretty good. Hope this helps. |
wannabe advice please
I have applied for cabin crew to a few airlines I have recived back conformation of my application from one stating If successful I would be informed within 4 weeks of closing date but the possition states on going recruitment or words to that effect does this mean there is no closing date and I will never hear from them again or what ? I dont want to sit here waiting forever.
Sorry for all questions but are night stops common on short haul how many nights do you leave and come home on the same shift I have children and want to be prepared for the worst if I am succefull |
i would call them.

Cabin Crew Requirements
Hi, Ive tried asking this before in another thread but got no answer, so sorry if this is the wrong place to post.
Just wondering what the requirements are on weight to become a air steward. I would really love to do this when i leave college in a few months but im a bit overweight, just wanted to know if their are any limits or such. Regards Gary |
Not sure what the official line is but as long as you can safely sit in the crew jumpseat, make your way down the aisle in a hurry and use the doors\exits without difficulty you should be ok. Where I work we have all kinds of people of varying sizes.
It's your personality and enthusiasm for the role that really makes the difference and ultimately gets you the job:) |
if you're anything like Rick Waller then you can forget it, a little bit of meat won't deny you a job but then it all depends on what airline you go for. When I worked for Qatar Airways one girl was grounded cos she'd gained some weight and could no longer button all her buttons up on her tailored uniform jacket.
|
yup,
it all depends! airlines in the middle east are quite strict about weight issues. as long as your BMI (ratio weight/length, don t know the exact formula) is not higher then 25, you should be okay in the middle east. |
A quick look at the title and 1st post of the recent thread in the Cabin Crew forum called
Dissision on Virgin Recruitment day should reassure you that they're not looking for unreachable academic qualifications and intelligence. |
