Cabin Crew Salary Details

Not serving the notice period made me lose my previous month's salary, and also I did not receive my work experience letter. That was not a very smart move from my side, as it would have put a bad mark on my Flying Career, even though I got the second job. Soon I realized that I never made such a mistake ever again.

Almost every airline keeps a month's salary as a deposit with them, just in case of any incident/accident. Example: You join a company on January 5th, your Basic salary will be credited by 25-30th January. Let's say you start flying from April 10th, on the 25-30th April you will still get paid just your basic salary only. But on 25-30th May you will receive your Basic Salary + April Flying Hours Allowance.

Cabin Crew's salary actually depends on more on Allowance factor. The above-mentioned list you will get paid every month even if you fly or not. If you are on Non-Paid leave then only the Gross Salary amount will look different than what is fixed for every month. On top of this, you will also get paid your Flying Time Allowance and plus your Layover Allowance. Layover allowance amount is more for International destinations and less for Domestic destinations, because of the expenses requirements. 

There are some airline companies who like to do a reference check. If you are fresher than you are expected to provide Professional Reference of your school/college/institute Teacher’s name, number, position. If you are experienced then you have to give your manager/supervisor’s name & number. Cabin Crew experienced candidates are expected to provide their Base Manager’s and/or any Inflight Supervisor’s/Senior Cabin Crew Member's (who knows you well) name and number. Friends and Family reference are easy, I don’t think I have to talk any details about that. 

I have been a very chubby girl during my school and college days. During my final year of college, I joined Air Hostess Academy in Bangalore, to learn more about Aviation and Hospitality Industry. In the Institute I got loads of Industry knowledge, and most importantly I got trained on Grooming and Make-Up. The grooming classes were very helpful and needful for me, as I never used any makeup any time before these classes. I am talking about the time when Cyber-Cafes were very popular, YouTube did not reach India yet, the Internet at the home was not a privilege for everyone, and WiFi was also not available everywhere.

 
It took a lot of support from my family and friends to achieve my goal, and finally, I achieved my dream. Maintaining myself in my best shape and spirit is my will power which still helps me to be myself.
                                                      
That's all for today. will be back again with more writing. Thank You.
