Today I got an email saying that I got rejected by Scoot airlines of Singapore. I'm feeling sorry but wishing to do my best to not be rejected again. What's the best piece of advice you'd give to me?
Hi! question for anyone who attended Emirates assessment day or finished the interviews
so I’m around 159.5 cm barefoot, but with good posture and slightly lifting my head a bit, I can reach 160 cm. Are recruiters very strict about keeping your head completely straight during the measurement, or is slightly lifting your head allowed?
I’m literally right on the limit tho I can easily reach 212 cm but i would appreciate any experiences!
former long-haul crew here… not gonna lie, there was something about the uniform that changed the way you carried yourself 😂… hair done, lipstick on, heels clicking, acting all professional while knowing you looked good… even on no sleep, somehow the uniform made you feel put together, a bit untouchable, maybe even a little dangerous… does anyone else miss that feeling?… not the delays or the exhaustion… just that tiny moment where you caught yourself in the mirror and thought “yeah… i still look good” x
I recently received a job offer from Emirates, which I know is a highly sought-after opportunity. My start date is in September, and I’ve already submitted my medical/health declaration, which is currently under review. That gives me a few months to really think things through.
At first, this felt like the perfect opportunity for me—travel, financial stability, and a chance to save money for future studies. My initial plan was to work for around 6 months, save as much as possible, and then resign before any penalties might apply.
However, the more I read online, the more conflicted I feel. I keep coming across posts and comments describing the work environment as quite toxic or mentally exhausting. At the same time, I also see people criticizing those who accept the role while feeling uncertain—saying things like, “Why take someone else’s spot if you’re not fully committed?”
Now I’m stuck somewhere in between. I don’t want to make a decision based purely on fear or negative reviews, but I also don’t want to ignore potential red flags.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar position—either with Emirates or a comparable role. Did you go through with it despite doubts? Was it worth it in the end, especially if your goal was to save money or gain short-term experience?
I believe I’m a strong candidate for Riyadh Air because I bring solid hospitality and customer service experience, along with professionalism, adaptability, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
In my experience, I’ve worked with different types of customers and always focused on creating a positive experience, even in challenging situations. This has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to handle situations effectively while maintaining a professional attitude.
I’m also comfortable working in a team, and I understand that delivering a smooth flight experience requires good cooperation and communication. I remain calm and solution-oriented when facing pressure or unexpected situations.
Safety is something I take very seriously, and I understand that it always comes before service.
I’m fluent in English and can also assist in French and Arabic. I’m currently learning Spanish and German.
What attracts me to Riyadh Air is the opportunity to work in a dynamic, international environment and represent an airline that values high standards of service and professionalism.
I believe my mindset, experience, and adaptability would allow me to contribute positively to your team.
anyone else got into a really big airline and panicked and resign during training? i got into one airline in the middle east, the cultural shock, the feeling that it was too big for me and feeling out of place led me to get so overwhelmed and had anxiety attacks and ended up resigning so early, didnt even start flying. I regret it now but i was feeling SO upset and now im angry with myself for letting that opportunity go
Hi everyone,
I’m considering applying for Ryanair cabin crew based at Frankfurt Hahn and I have a few questions for anyone currently working there or who has worked there before.
My biggest question is honestly the commute. I live in the Frankfurt am Main area, and Frankfurt Hahn seems extremely far away with no real direct train connection. How do cabin crew usually get there for early shifts? Do most people drive? Share accommodation nearby? Does Ryanair provide any transport support or is the travel cost completely your responsibility?
I’d also love to know:
What is the pay actually like for cabin crew in Germany?
Is the roster/work-life balance manageable?
How intense are the shifts really?
Are the “5 on / 3 off” rosters accurate in practice?
I also have a cabin crew information/recruitment day in Mainz next week and was wondering what those are like. Are they usually very crowded/competitive? What should I realistically expect from the day?
Would really appreciate any honest insight, especially from anyone based at HHN specifically.
Hi! Has anyone applied for Riyadh Air’s Cabin Crew – Future Opportunities 2024-1125? I submitted my application online and received an invite for an online assessment earlier this year. After the assessment, I checked my profile on their careers site and saw my application was under review.
The thing is, I randomly checked my account again sometime last month and it still said “under review.” But when I checked again today, my dashboard showed that I hadn’t applied for any jobs. My application just disappeared for some reason. I never received a rejection email, so I’m confused. Has this happened to anyone here?
I also tried searching for Cabin Crew – Future Opportunities 2024-1125, and it’s gone too. What’s going on? Does anyone have a clue?
Hi everyone,
I wanted some genuine advice from people working in aviation/hospitality, especially cabin crew.
My cousin brother has recently passed 12th, but his financial condition isn’t strong enough to support a 3–4 year degree right now. He’s looking for a quicker path to start earning.
I suggested he consider a training program from institutes like Frankfinn (around 10–11 months), which claim to prepare students for roles in aviation, hospitality, or cabin crew and also offer placement support.
However, I’m a software engineer and don’t have much knowledge about how reliable or useful these programs actually are in the real world.
So I wanted to ask:
Are institutes like Frankfinn genuinely helpful for getting jobs?
Is it realistically possible to become cabin crew after such courses?
What are the actual requirements airlines look for (skills, appearance, communication, etc.)?
Are there better or more affordable alternatives he should consider?
Would really appreciate honest insights, especially from people already in the industry.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
I've been cabin crew for a while now and for some crazy reason I had the bright idea to also study for a masters alongside flying! My final project is on cabin crew safety behaviour and how job demands and work engagement relate to this. If you have 5-10 minutes spare I'd really appreciate it! I am using social media primarily to find cabin crew outside my airline, I thought I'd try it here as well.
The survey can be found here and it is completely anonymous and confidential! Thank you in advance!
