me? no, I still have a long way to go. still in school.

Or maybe I'm just waiting for more girls from this forum to join my future
class, heehee...

the 7XX series are boeings, the 3XX are airbus.
different planes have different configurations so attendants have to be
familiar with the models they are assigned to. Not really sure about the
details. maybe M can help with this?

Dreamer, do update us on your training! very excited for you gal... :lol:

Yes, you will be. It is standard. For 300ER which flies to several european cities like Paris and Milan, you only get to go for conversion only after 9 months of flying.

Typically, new cabin crews will be trained for 747 and 777. There will be 1-2 SNY flights for both fleets before your first solo.

I'm having my fleet training next week! :D

yea your solo means you'll be on your own without your buddy.
if i remember correctly, you'll have 2 flights with your buddy. or was it 4.
once you graduate and start flying you'll be on your own already!
everyone will get different teams and hopefully you'll get good teammates. :)

don't worry so much lah! you'll learn everything during training. when does your training start? its tomorrow isit?

basically 744 or the 747 is the jumbo.. new crew are trained only for 777 n 744.. for training of the other aircraft types depends on the teams u are allocated to

i dun thk u do 300er only after 9 mths..
i thk after yr business class training then u will be train which will be ard 1 year.. or esle it will be a waste of time if u are not business class trained and can only work in ey for tat aircraft

The last thing I heard was 9 months and had previous batches of new crews having their 300ER. They have worked on the ER and who knows? :lol: And as it is, then all new crews should be trained for all fleets but then your inexperience will show? :)

like wad jsamills had mentioned..

all initial crews will CERTAINLY be trained for boeing 747 and 777, cos these are the aircrafts we have what!

as for the A345, it depends on the ward ure allocated to after u graduate from the 4 mths training...however..it depends on the length of ur service as well..

as for A380...i believe once the planes are here..those wards which are allocated to be trained for this aircraft will get to be trained....

with rgds to Boeing 777-300er(the new fleet of crafts which SIA bought)..
seniors are being rostered by batches to come back to STC to train.....whereas for the newbies.....u'd have to wait for ur turn....prob like mentioned by others...only after ure trained for business class or either after u have passed probation?

however for ur additional info....batch 883 to ard batch 900 are already trained for the 300er..maybe due to in need of crew when the planes are in during tht time i guess........
but recently due to some reasons, the new batches will not be trained YET...probably cos too many junior crews and many seniors have been trained also already..........
hence no more milan, paris or zurich flights or seoul-san francisco till ure trained... =) but cheer up! with no such flights means uve got higher chance to go Rome, copenhagen, frankfurt-newyork etc!!

thats abt it!
best rgds

as for flight roster of a FA.............

ul certainly have a fair share of
turnards(hongkong, jakarta, bangkok, bangalore,etc?)
standbys.....
3-4 days flight pattern(like new zealand,australia,japan,china, india?)
and avg one long flight (europe, states or middle east?) in a month...........

there are FA whom i know earn up to 7k or more a mth...
However mgmt did mention though sometimes ud have better mths but overall income for the year it will still be avg out to abt 3-4k a mth.

thts it!

My gosh...HKG flights are turnaround flights??!!! Meaning the crews will not get to really see and experience HK? :(

Oh btw, have u been 300-ER trained? :) I really think the 300-ERs are very beautiful aircrafts...crews getting to work onboard are really lucky! :) Wat does it take to be trained for business class? Izzit strictly performance based or its standard procedure, i.e. if u are in service for a yr, hence u'll be trained for biz class? Thanks!
