When is BA recruiting cabin crew in Singapore?

[toygirl]

Awaiting SIA - I can imagine you'll be pissing in your kebaya before you ever make that PA announcement ever.

With increased vigilance I think airline safety will be maintained. But you just gotta remember that obviously lots of things can happen - you could get scalded, burned, ass slapped, etc etc. And then the thought of being hijacked.

There are ways we alert the cockpit we have been taken over by terrorists - I can't explain it online - Be a crew first and you'll learn.

Ya, I guessed every job has its risks... But I think it would be really scary if you are on a plane 5000 feet above sea level and then someone suddenly announce over the PA system:

"Dear passengers, this plane has been taken over by the Al Queda forces. If you look out of your right window, you can see a tall grey building. We will be crashing into it shortly. Can all passengers kindly return to your seats, fasten your seat-belts and remain seated. It may be hot and may burn quite a bit, but it will be over real soon.."

There are many other scary scenarios you could be in, it is just the focus at present is on airlines. The fact is we do not know where or what the next target will be. However, if the above should occur, in the case of Britain or America passengers face the prospect of being murdered by their own air-force.

Then followed by chants of islamic verses from the Quran..silence. Bouts of panic, crying, shouting, people banging the walls of the plane.

Take care who you single out to describe as terrorists since many muslims are law-abiding and as equally sickened by the 9/11 attacks as others outside their faith.

What would you guys do?

Have a very stiff drink.

I just hope that terrorism will come to an end soon...

Feeling sick of all those announcements, videos, tv commercials on terrorism in all the Mrt stations.

Wish that Osama will trip and fall in the toilet and probably bang his head against the toilet bowl and die.

It's ok... I hope I will not have a chance to do that...

What's the point of alerting the cockpit that the plane has been taken over by terrorists? Get everyone mentally prepared to die? Write all your last words and put them in the black box before the plane explodes? Or say your final prayers so that you can get to heaven safely?

Sometimes I really wonder, we only live once. Is it worth the risk?

I can't explain it online on the security features. A crew trainer I know told us of an hijack encounter she herself experienced. I never ever had an hijack - I once had a guy who got drunk and defaced the entire lavatory cubicle and became agiated and amok.

But there are security features and training - depending on which airline you're in.

P.S. But I rather sacrifice my life than to allow the plane I am on to kill hundreds of thousands on ground. There is an element of risk and danger in every job you do. From being electrocuted at the computer terminal you're in or being hit by a bus when you're driving a car, etc.

PPS Yes, I know how to restrain a man to the ground alone or if he's too big - others.

[Awaiting_SIA]

Ya, perhaps you are really noble enough to sacrifice your one and only life and then appear on the newspaper headlines for one day as a brave air stewardess who died during an unfortunate terrorist hijack.

Personally, I don't think I will be able to do so. That's why I'm still in a dilema as to whether I should go on with this job.

Then don't take a bus in Israel, but then the same could happen in Singapore........
