How to become a flight attendant elsewhere?

How do i become a virgin atlantic flight attendant?

  • my aunt is a flight attendant with united airlines based in new york, and has been for about 12 years now, but i don't really know anything about how to become one with virgin atlantic, what its like, and how long the training is etc.. :)

  • Answer:

    If you can't be bothered to even ask your own aunt, then you're probably too lazy to be hired by anyone for any job. How about you go to the company website and click on something like "jobs" and then look through the requirements yourself instead of wasting everyone's time here by asking questions that you are too lazy to look up yourself? In the time it took me to write this response you could probably have already been on your way to applying for the position if you had bothered to use Google or put even the smallest amount of energy into doing this yourself.

Tessa, how old are you? There are many qualifications for this position set by each airline. So, you must contact the Virgin Atlantic personnel or Human Resources office for information. That should provide you with a starting point. As a retire captain I can tell you that any cabin crew position requires a huge attention to detail person. By you writing skills or discipline in applying standard rules of English grammar you demonstrate that either you are about twelve years old or just not paying attention in school to details. Cabin crew personnel must know, memorize, learn and practice tons of material, information, procedures about the safety equipment on board many planes. You do not capitalized properly the required parts of a sentence starting with the first word, proper names such as United Airlines, New York, Virgin Atlantic and the pronoun, I, which is always capitalized. This means you are using texting "shorthand" or what I call slang. Not proper and not correct English. Your sentence structure is non existent as you write as you speak without separating thoughts into sentences. You did not check nor edited your writing. So it is one conglomerate of words. If you wish to apply, obtain an interview and go through training successfully, you must discipline yourself to do the right thing all the time. One screw up on a flight can be deadly, cause harm to the plane or get you fired on the spot. Very many apply for this position. Many are screened. Only the top performers are successful and gain admittance to the training program. Not all graduate. And not all that graduate pass the initial few months of evaluation on the job. It is not all about dressing nicely, smiling and serving food. It takes courage, toughness, discipline, cooperation, knowledge and application of the company rules and of the governmental rules that apply to international travel. And then there is the public. The people that by buying a ticket for a seat in a flight feel entitled to treat you like an slaved servant and insult you at every chance. Not too many but they are there. I have ejected a few from flights as they show up with this attitude which can be dangerous in flight. Then there are the hours, and the transportation, and the hotels and the time away from home and the competition between employees and the politics and the customs and immigrations lines, and the luggage and about another one hundred items to consider. People do it because they love it. It is a passion. They get huge rewards in doing this service. The road is tough. If have all of those qualifications, if you have the desire, the ambition, the discipline, the ability to learn, then I suggest you apply. But learn to write correctly please as this is a huge part of your life as an adult and as a professional wearing an uniform with those wings on the chest that mean something special. For further information or stories about the job please contact your aunt. She has a thousand stories to tell you. Best wishes for success. P.S. Virgin Atlantic is a British company not an USA corporation.

Try joining and looking through some of these types of sites. I think there are about zero cabin crew members that hang out here, because this is the aircraft category, not jobs. http://www.pprune.org/cabin-crew-wannabes-130/ http://www.cabincrew.com/forums
