SIA cabin crew

[silvara]

Hi maine21,

Thanks thanks!! That's what i tot too but i'm just scared others would think that i'm such a wanna be u see n still have a thickskin face to actually go n try for the walk-in. None of my fren knows about it.

Are there anyone there who wish to go for the walk-in? Shall we go together and give each other some support?

Hey there,I'm going for this sundaes intv...wanna meet me there?

is it true that swimming is no longer a requirement to jon SQ?

Yes. No longer require

Umm, sorry, there is an ICAO requirement, which is deemed to the airline operator certificate (AOC). Unless SQ have a waiver (which may be possible), then the usual ICAO swim in a pool fully uniformed with a life jacket, stands for both cabin and tech crew. You would not be able to fly into many countries without being certified.

I am guessing then that SQ CC get a waiver? Can anyone confirm?

Thank you sstan123, a point I have so often vainly tried to point out is applicants have to be tall enough to reach the overhead lockers. For those who like to argue: you don't need to work for an airline to realize that it should be obvious.

For all cabin crew wannabe I think you should heed Plavt's advice. Plavt may not be an ex crew but he has indepth knowledge of cabin crew stuff. Besides, Plavt is kind enough to give free advice.

queenbee if you like to know more about any interview tips, i suggest you go to www.ourcabincrew.com sign up for luke's talks or purchase his program. I purchased his program, made lots of preparation and got into SIA recently. It will definitely prepare you well enough and that will give you all the confidence you need to ace the interviews!

To sstan123(luke) hopefully you know who i am, im just so grateful towards you.

Thanks Gina for your compliments.I should not be saying more as it may be misconstrued as me advertising here.

There is something strange about the issue; seems Japan airline's simply assume their applicants can swim (so I am told a while back by flight attendant whose was posting here) while some mention they never went through any water competency test with certain other carriers. Although it is standard on all British carriers that much I am certain.

Plavt - hi again (after a long absence) - I will try to find the ICAO rule stipulating it. I might be slightly mistaken in as much that it could be a LOCAL country requirement to airlines (i.e. fly into US, FAA requirement). However, my rusty old brain does recall that it was an ICAO requirement. Not much use having CC direct the SLF (Self Loading Freight) out of the A/C with lifejackets if the C/C cannot swim!

ya , for malaysian..so any malaysian here?

[indcisive]

i'm malaysian

ahh... its been almost a good 3 years since i last came here

well its obvious much have been said.. just take a look at the amount of post. amazing! and i believe the same good old questions are being asked, not that i can blame anyone as i too understand the feelings that most of you are goin thru right now.. or at least i would like to think so :p

just a word from someone who has been there and done that. i can actually go on and on and on but i guess it's never ending. all i want to say to the ppl here is that, from the moment i started filling up the application form to the day i packed my bags and left klia and till this very moment.. i've never looked back ever since.

bla bla bla.. i'm sure you've read the pro's and con's of the job and etc (which job is perfect? well only to a few lucky one's i guess) but what motivates you that keeps you going.. and for me its $$$

and as for those with doubts, be it height, weight, age, scars, inability to swim and etc.. time and time again and i will repeat it once more.. it is not what that is tangible that matters, of course to a certain extend but it's the substance.. your confidence.. the way u carry yourself and yes luck does play a part, perhaps a big part so there's only one way to find out right? put on your best show and good luck

just do it ya'll!

p/s - shoot me a pm should u have any personal questions.. if i can answer, i will.. give me some time thou.. u know why

[zizdnyll]

i dont have work experience? will they allow me for the interview?

[indcisive]

zizdnyll,

i take it that you only have spm? do you meet their requirements? as in the credits and b4 for english? and from your post, u mentioned working at a restaurant right? how long has it been?

well if you don't exactly have any plans on the interview day, why not just give it a shot? but do come prepared at least..i've heard all sort of funny stories from ppl making it through the interviews

and if you don't make it, at least there's the experience that u gained.. and perhaps then, u might want to give yourself some time to either gain more working experience or even take up a diploma in the mean time? its never the end until u say it is
