Ah, so I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience with UA. The nastiest possible staff in Sacramento. Arrived at the airport after close to 21 hours of flying, luggage goes missing and the woman was so damn rude. That typical American style - Can you not see I am talking to this person? This after I interrupted only 'cause the other guy was also complaining of missing luggage, all I said was mine is missing too. Ooh did I give her a piece of my mind! I bet she had never flown in her life or stepped out of Sacramento, which is exactly what I told her.tiki wrote:Quasi....Quasimodo wrote:Plavt wrote: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.
Plavt.
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.
you should've asked the FA, whether the planes do actually fly.
As far as I know, there were 2 batches for the recent Round 3.Twinklez27 wrote:Hihiz~

Hi people just to let you know that although Emirates do not specifically says they dont employ married personnel, my friend who went through the interview said that they do not employ married people. It is in accordance to the country law.singaporegrrl wrote: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.donno wrote: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.
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!
There were a few posts earlier stating that SIA need alot of new flight attendants this year before the launching of the Airbus A380. Many of its senior crews have finished the A380 fleet course and will be on board the A380 when it start its service later this year.donno wrote:Why is SIA keep recruiting more cabin crew?
Is it because of increasing passengers or because the current cabin crews are quitting?
Does cabin get sacked?
