Part time stewardess

romantiques · Post by **romantiques** » Tue, 04 Jul 2006 1:41 pm

Greetings.

I'm 18 this year, female standing at 170cm and 50-52kg. I'm doing a diploma of advertising and photography design in Lasalle-SIA and holds a O level certificate of 4 credits. (B3 for english)

I was wondering if i am eligible for SIA as a part time stewardess (If they ever have such position) during my holidays and weekends maybe?

Thanks!

They won't hire you as part time with zero training plus I doubt they will spend money to train u just for holidays and weekends! A cabin crew is not just a waitress, u know! There are lots of emergency procedures u have to be familiar with.

Hi there,

I doubt they have such positions in SIA as it's time & $$ consuming to groom newbies to do part time FA. But other airlines in the western countries do have such posts, as far as I know, there is no such placement locally for part time cabin crew. But anyway, you can try to fly full time after you graduate. Anyway, you're still young!

Good luck!

Oh alright. I am willing to go through the training but as for now, i will be a part time stewardess and later on when i graduates, then full time. Heard of such cases anywhere?

No worries, do update if you become a FA. Have a great day too! If you are really keen, maybe you can write to the respective airlines for more information! Take care.......

Usually after training, u will get bonded for at least a year coz the company wun want to waste the money training u, so probably u will have to fly full time first till completion of your bond before u decide if u want to do it part time after that.

There is no such thing as a part-time stewardess such a position would be impractical to incorporate into the rosters. The airlines keep a percentage of their staff on standby duties to cover holidays, absenteeism and crew shortages.

Thats not true. Silkair does employ part time crew, but those must be ex crew who are already trained and just want to work a few hours a month. Not for someone with totally no experience who just want to fly for fun during the holidays.

Thank you for the information sharkie, the concept of part-time work in the UK may be thought of as something different (.i.e. someone who works a few hours a day or week). Somebody working a few hours a month would be thought of as being in temporary, seasonal or causal employment. Do SilkAir have additional flights in what would be summer to us?

I don't think they increase flights during any particular season. These part timers just work during the weekends coz Silkair does turnaround flights. From what I hear, only ex Silk air crew can work part time coz they already know the service standards, aircraft configuration etc

Not for FUN definitely. For experience.

I guess u can go into that line in future, when you have more time for it. You can get some other customer service jobs for now to gain the experience u need to get into the airline in future, if you are still interested =)
