Cool Crewing positions

Hi Guys & Girls,
Is there anyone out there that has crewing experience and would like to be orange.
There are various vacancies within the dept for all levels of experience.
You know it makes sense!!

viking 9,
we don't get to see the crew over here except if they are looking for a favour.
As for looking like a gromit there are quite a few.

Question

There is only one original Gromit in my eyes, and yes she is orange. This pic was taken in the back galley at FL310 en-route LTN-BCN. Somebody must recognise her ??

They are in day to day crewing salary is varied on experience, but i believe we are the highest paid crewing officers.
If anyone knows different please feel free to argue.

Pipergirl - like Mr Angry said, if you are not quite sure who the orange lot are, then you will no doubt be turning green very soon, so best contact Euroceltic and stay on the Emerald Isle.

Crewing is crewing is crewing. It won't matter what company you work for, the attitude within orange city is be tangoed or get out. Ain't that right walla ?? Being orange ain't everyone's cup of tea, maybe pipergirl should try the other UK based airlines and compare notes at the interview stage. Crewing ain't all about who can build the highest wall at the interview.

Don't get me Started on Low-Cost Airlines....

Ditto with Viking9!

Crewing is Crewing where ever you are...sometimes more organised or more computerised, but same old tosh really!

It's not just getting along with the Orange Order. low cost life may not be everyones cup of tea, and in the UK, they all seem pretty much the same mentality from what i've seen....difficult if you've had a taste of low-cost and hated it because as Walla says, its becoming the way to go in the UK..

It is a good learning curve if your just starting out though....and EasyJet have a very good career structure within Ops/Crewing.

pipergirl,
I agree with what both viking9 , mr angry and JB007 have to say
if you do not know who being orange is you are either new to the industry or foreign (please do not be offended).
Either way if you have a career goal and willing to stand up to the head of sheds then orange is a great place to be.
They will put you through courses that will benefit your career and will foot the cost.
As for what JB007 spot on, if you show that you are putting the effort in you will get the rewards.
walla
