FAQ (Frequently asked questions)  

 

Q: How do I go about applying for the position as flight attendant ?

A: WAIT until you see the position advertised in the media. DO NOT

     simply submit your CV as the airlines receive dozens of them daily

     and simply do not have the time to peruse over them or the storage space

     to keep them , so they are simply discarded.When the positions are

     advertised a reference number is shown. If your

     CV does not have a ref. number it will be discarded. 

 

Q: Which newspapers are the positions usually advertised ?

A:  Usually newspapers like the STAR or SUNDAY TIMES but

     the sunday times is your best bet.

 

Q: Why are the positions only advertised in the media ?

A: Flight attendants are trained in batches of 10 - 12 people

    due to the high cost of training, So the positions will  without exception

    always be advertised in the media.Not everybody will make the grade

    therefore a large amount of people will be interviewed.

 

Q: I have been looking at the papers all the time , but lately have not seen

    any positions for flight attendant available. Why is this ?

A: All airlines are in turmoil at this time and are overstaffed in all depatments

    including Cabin Crew.Do not lose hope , but things should start looking

   up towards the end of the year or the beginning of next year.

    Job ?

A: Yes indeed you do, there is no discrimination be it sex , race , creed or colour.

 

Q: What qualifications or couses should I have to be a flight attendant ?

A: There are no specific qualifications , however good interpersonal skills,
