Plavt.

Quite right, which explains the increasing focus on Crew Resource Management by airlines like SIA. Modern aircraft properly maintained have several fail-safes and back-ups in case of failures in essential equipment. Most accidents occur because of a tactical error by the captain (often the failure of initiating the correct response), a failure of the FO to challenge such errors, improper procedures etc.

Just curious..I once stumbled into a Singaporean Emirates Airlines Stewardess blog. I found out that she's married to a Singaporean Emirates Arilines Steward and both are still working In Emirates Airlines. From what i know is that FA must not marry as long as they are working as a FA.So?

That is not true. There are alot of married flight attendants from various airlines. In fact, some of them joined after they have been married.

BUt,can they bear a child while still in the airlines or maybe have already beared a child?

From what I know, SIA doesnt allow female applicants who is married. Or already have a child.

This applies to many airlines.

But once they are confirmed FA of the airline, they are allowed to get married and have children. But for stewardesses who are pregnant, they will be grounded. After they have given birth, they will continue flying but with some conditions.

I am not sure about SIA but many other airlines allow people to apply even when they are already married. Emirates would be an example.

Yes flight attendants who are pregnant are to be grounded, or worse, terminated. From what I know, SIA introduced a "Flying Mother" agreement that allows former stewardesses who became mothers to return to flying. Several conditions apply for them to qualify. They must be at least of leading ranking when they resigned, their absence from duty must not exceed two years and they must be able to pass a refresher course and still be "in shape" in the SIA uniform.

Oh yah! I came across a few blogs of SIA flight attendants as well.

The first two are still in training but already started their SNY flights. From the similarity of their entries and dates of entries, I assume they are from the same batch. The 3rd one have been flying for awhile now. And the last one have just been promoted to LSS. Enjoy!

Singaporegrrl,

British Airways is a prime example the reason being the sex discrimination act which exists in this country. Some maybe interested to know that this airline has no upper age limit for cabin crew applicants - under about 60 that is.

This may surprise many , but most of the US-based carriers DO practise age discrimination - Flight Attendants have to be at least 107 years old, over 100kgs and have a waist measurement of 207cm. The blue rinse hair and nasty attitude are NOT optional.

Seriously, I was flying to San Francisco a few months back and my bloody company booked me on UA. While settling in, an elderly gentlemen on the other side of the aisle needed help placing a small briefcase in the overhead luggage compartment and asked the nearest FA (a guy).

His response:

'Uuuh, sorry, we don't do lifting'

And this is in Business Class

Yes, yes, I did place it for him.

Hi did anyone know during the management round, are the interviewers going to refer to the employment application form to ask questions? some said they do refer to the psychometric test's results but i wonder if they also refer to the employment application form?

insight · Post by **insight** » Thu, 23 Mar 2006 6:36 pm

hmmm.... i am refering to the employment application form which we'll have to bring home and fill in after we got through the kebaya fit test.... do we have to submit the form before we go in for our management interview?

Quasi....

you should've asked the FA, whether the planes do actually fly.
