Cabin Crew medical
Hi Guys,
Just wondering what a Cabin Crew medical consists of, I will have my first Cabin Crew Job in a few months and was wondering what was involved, do they take blood samples and if so what are they testing for? etc.
I realise that every airline might vary but I should imagine that the general things might be the same.
Thanks in advance,
Crewboy

Eddy,
you don't get any Company Medical? I know in UK there's no CAA medical for CC, but I thought you had a BA medical.
In France we have a yearly Company Medical, plus a full Medical check (the equivalent of your CAA check, more or less like the pilots do) every two years. If you don't pass the full check you are declared unfit to fly

Of course, it's not unrealistic to think that some people won't actually declare illnesses that they suffer from. By introducing a policy on sickness that sees a minimal number of days off resulting in further action being taken, the company is able to weed out those who are either prone to illness OR perhaps weren't particularly honest on their declaration.
British Airways used to have a strict medical check prior to commencement of employment but I believe this was abolished back in 2001 when the last of the new recruits until late 2003 joined the company. In 2003 the airline needed a massive number of new staff and I think it just wasn't practical for them all to be given these medicals.
