ferrarihotbabe 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 Thought of becoming one but I'm not beautiful enough.. LoL.. Anyway, one of my friends went to SIA interview but she was rejected because she had ONE pimple visible on her face.. If I'm not mistaken, you have to be at least 160cm without heels. The cons I guess would be the flight itself.. You're on air for 15 days in a month and sometimes I guess, if you're flying international flights, you may not be able to adapt to different time zones. Anyway, others could do it, you can too And I thought that you could findout what's the requirements of becoming one of the attendants on their websites?

huili 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 hi ferrarihotbabe, i guess one pimple was not the reason why your friend was rejected. I believe too, they do not just want a beautiful face w/o a brain, of course if you'll stand out if you have both. Do try, cos they dont always pick pretty girls. You do not know what awaits you if you dont try. A little make-up can do wonders to a person, so learn how to pretty up your face, there isnt a big problem, if ... being very beautiful is a concern to you. I can find what requirements are, I just want to hear from those current stewardess for their opinion. I believe its not as glamorous as it seems. Nite.

3feetsnow 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2005 I have been to the SIA training facility in Singapore. Work there for a few times as the air quality technician (heh, I wish I'm there to be trained! ). They have that huge pool to simulate downed aircraft in the sea, and several full size mock-ups of aircraft cabins for inflight training.I've only known the process of selection for Air Canada:- 3 rounds of interviews- 1 round of language test- 1 round of height/weight test- Formal acceptance, training and yearly tests.

LoL I don't know if that friend has brain or not..And after some thoughts, I rather be a businesswoman who's flying first class than having to serve those people.. The sense of achievement is sure higher that way..Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mainly the degree you holding is out of date without practising it. Second, those who attached, finally will end up with sad ending.........just like my aunty.Third, International flight is RM6k told by one of my fren, domestic is RM3k with basic salary RM1k.......
