Interview Questions
Hi guys!
This is actually a good news for everyone who aspires to be flight attendant. And to all those who are currently training... kudos for a dream come true. Guys, I hope you don't mind giving me some question tips that are being asked and how to answer them in a positive way. I know I'll just have to be myself and I know there are no right or wrong answers but of course, the company will choose those who will fit culturally. Thanks!

Requirements
Will TAIR airways still accept application next year, January 2007?
I want to prepare first before I apply like securing my diploma, passport etc.
Please let us update each other should there be any opening going on in Manila.
I wish all of us make it to the airline industry.
Good luck! God bless to all!

Good day everyone,
Most airline companies around the world consider applicants who have finished High School, but finishing college or at least have completed 2-3 years in college is a plus because they will view you as 'more matured person.' I am undergrad and I tried to inquire for the qulaifications in Warner Barnes office yesterday and will schedule me for an interview next week... By the way, I'm a guy and they still ask me to wait for a schedule of interview...

Am glad to see and hear that everyone seems to be encouraged by TAIR Airways. But if you are going to apply, here's an unsolicited advice...if you don't have a job, go ahead and apply...but if you do have a job, go ahead and apply but DON'T resign, go on LEAVE.
Start up airlines is always encouraging because it does create employment opportunities...the only thing is, it is a START UP. In other words, there is nothing sure about it.
One other thing...if Philippine Airlines (PAL) gave up Saudi Arabia, there has to be a reason why. And don't forget that there is still Saudia Airlines that continuously, more than ever, provides passenger service to MANILA.
So in short, your better of applying to an established local airline (PAL, Cebupac, Asian Spirit or Seair), get experience there, and then look for employment abroad. This is not to discourage you...it was meant to make you realize and think of all possible options...and if after thinking it over you feel that this is your best option, GO FOR IT! Cheers.

for Skybound 0210
thanks for the insight.
PR is under receivership because of its financial problems in the late 90's. as consequence, they limited their flights to the more lucrative sectors (ie. japan, US, hong kong etc.). SV still operate multiple flights to the Philippines. ts not much because of the traffic (because there is- think of millions of OFWs in KSA); but of PALs effort to get out of the receivership as fast as possible.
for aspiring flight attendants, like me, applications to the big 4 (PAL,CebPAC,AP and Asian Spirit) can get too crowded, and the appearance of this "start-up airlines" is a breath of fresh air and widens the field of opportunities for us.
As for me, i am applying with the necessary precautions in place.

Mutt,
I agree with you totally. An airline can not base its operations on one destination ONLY.
I am sure that Tair Airways have made a market study & knows what other airlines are doing. Do not forget that they are a charter Airline, so that means they can fly any where on adhoc approvals.
An airline choosing a B747 as their main equipment, means they know that they will fly it at least with a 75% load factor.
Thanks for the information.

Swimming
Hi Everyone!
Just attended the prequalification swimming test. To anyone of you guys who are about to attend this exam, the company would ask you to execute the strokes correctly. I failed the exam because I swam fast and did not execute the breast stroke correctly... But the trainers are kind enough to tell me to have a swimming lesson and call them back for reassessment after a week or two. By the way, what does Tair mean?
Thanks!

Swimming Exam
Yes, they are friendly
...(Ms Yvonne and Sir Emil who conducted the activity.)
They're not asking the candidates to perform their olympic performace. They just want to see the proper execution of each stroke as it would give you a clear mind when you're saving someone. Also, by having it done correctly, you'll save energy and could stay longer than anyone who would do it incorrectly... and the good news is, I can still be reassessed and gave me a notion that this is a good company and nice people to work with because thay gave me a second chanceÜ

MAle Applicant
Hi Elouise,
Yes, but there's a lot of 'buts'... I mean, yeah they are but it was explained to me by the interviewer that TAIR is prioritizing female applicants... not because the male FA population is higher than the female but it should be balanced. If you passed every exam then good. If you passed the training then better but again, there's still a lot of tests coming in your way... like everything is a test... you have to survive...

practicality
hello to everyone! I'm just wondering why the swimming requirements is so strict? That should not be the hardest part of recruiting CC? Atleast you can swim unaided and float in the water...but not a swimmer....they should include in their requirements that you must be a good swimmer...
...come to think of it ...if the plane crash in the water everybody dies..because the impact is the same when u crash on land..unless its not yet your time to die...Have you heard an incident of a seaman survive in an open sea? very few but they only save their lives... Tair could require more than a mile swimming test but atleast with a life vest on...because thats the first thing u should do during ditching to put on your life vest and save your life first before u save others....Im just being practical with my observation...not to focus on swimming only... rather other safety training as well & passenger service...recruit CC and see their capability during interviews then if you think that they are qualified like..personality( most important because you face & serve your passenger )....then continue with the training ..then on you can see during the training if they still qualilify..conduct a series of test in safety,service & first aid then swimming must be a part of a training not a pre qualifying test...
