Future Cabin Crew: Stay Motivated

The coronavirus pandemic has attacked the aviation industry like never before. In this pandemic time, it is a bit disheartening to think about. But my advice to all of you is to not feel negative about the situation. Yes, airlines have definitely have become a bit slow in terms of recruitment but trust me Aviation Industry will be back soon with all their glamour and fun.

As you are able to observe, read, and see, the airlines have taken various steps to address the situation, trying to save as much as they can. Airlines were forced to cancel most if not all flights, doing some marketing around new services enhancing hygiene standards as well as offering expanded flexibility on the future tickets booked during the crisis. All you would bear in mind is that at the moment the Airline is looking for opportunities and continuing to FLY.

Although we are witnessing that Airlines has laid off crew members and other staff from other departments, yet we must not forget how close communication the higher management kept and still keeps with their employees. I am proud to observe and see how Airlines developed an image of being someone that keeps open communication with the staff. This is something that definitely is bullying up the trust of their customers and trade partners for the future.

No one knows for sure what the recovery will look like in the coming years, and every airline acknowledges that they will keep on doing the best they can.

At the end of the day, everyone is hammered by the crisis. We do not know how long the recovery will take. 

I won’t be lying to you, that Airlines all over the world will have fewer passengers in 2021 than in 2019. But you will be here. You will be preparing for the role called Cabin Crew and you must not stop. Passengers aren’t rushing into getting back on a plane anytime soon, for obvious reasons. But for those who are eager to get back in the air, they may soon have many more opportunities to do so.

And with the numbers of destination going up, laid off the crew and staff coming back to the Airlines, you will be STEP CLOSER TO YOUR DREAM JOB. And I will be here with you, helping you TO SECURE YOUR JOB AT 40 000ft. 

That's all for today. will be back soon with more writing. Thank you.

Cabin Crew Interview: Open Day vs Assessment Day

Cabin Crew Interview generally takes place in two formats, they are Open Day Interview Session and Assessment Day Interview Session.

Open Days: the open days are information sessions that give an opportunity to the candidates to meet with the airline’s recruitment team. You will need to present your CV and photos – passport size and full-length in business attire. Some airlines require that you also provide a copy of your passport. Anybody can join an Open Day without prior registration. You will be watching information videos about the airline and their base city and you will be given the chance to ask questions about the airline and the cabin crew job. The resumes will be screened by the recruiters and successful candidates will be asked to participate in a series of tests and interviews. You do not require previous cabin crew experience to be part of an Open Day.

Assessment Days: In order to be invited to participate in an Assessment Day, you will need to complete an online registration on the airline’s recruitment website. Your CV will be screened based on your experience and education. If successful, you will be given the details of the Assessment Day. You don’t require previous cabin crew experience to be invited to participate in Assessment day.

Nowadays, to apply for any cabin crew interview(domestic & international), it is a mandatory requirement to register on the Career Web page of the Airline you wish to attend the Interview for. Still, certain companies still organize Open days for their Interview session. The above pictures are provided as a reference for all of you. Once you fill-up the forms online you will then receive invites for attending the assessment/open day rounds.

That's all for today. I will be back soon with more writtings. Thank You. 

Aviation Industry and Jobs Roles

The aviation industry is undergoing rapid growth globally due to booming worldwide tourism, affordable airfares, and better connectivity for an increasingly globalized economy.
An Airport is a location where aircrafts take-off, parked, stored, or/and maintained. An Airport Terminal is where passengers transfer between ground transportation to the flights, and other facilities that allow them to board and disembark from aircraft. 

The Landside area is open to the public, while access to the airside area is tightly controlled. This part of an airport designated to serve passengers, including terminal buildings, vehicular circular drives, and parking facilities.

The Airside area includes all parts of the airport around the aircraft and the parts of the buildings that are only accessible to passengers and staff. The part of an airport used by aircraft for loading and unloading and takeoffs and landings. The area beyond security checks and passport and customs control in an airport terminal. 

Airline Industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. With the liberalization of the tourism and aviation sector, the airline industry has undergone a rapid transformation. From being primarily a government-owned industry, the Indian airline industry is now dominated by privately owned full-service airlines and low-cost carriers. Due to the growth in tourism, there has been an increase in the number of international and domestic passengers. Airline organizations can be classified into a number of segments depending on the nature and degree of services they provide. There are various jobs available in the Aviation Industry. Some of them are:
• Airport Manager
• Cargo Agent
• Cargo Handler and Baggage Handler
• Passenger Agent
• Customer Service Agent
• Flight Dispatcher
• Air Traffic Controller
• Tower Control and Administration

• Sales and Reservation
• Ticket Agent
• Flight Attendant or Cabin Crew
• Rostering
• Aviation Safety
• Ramp Services 
• Aircraft Onboard

• Janitorial services

If a passenger is traveling International, then after getting boarding pass he/she needs to pass through Immigration/Customs counter before proceeding to the security check area. The Journey of a Passenger through an airport almost looks somewhat like this:
