Stewardess - this romantic profession

Fortunately, things have changed. But even today, growth and stewardesses weight must be in strict proportion. Abnormally thin women in flight attendants do not take, but the harmony is still in vogue. Thus, according to the requirements of the airline "International Airlines of Ukraine", the standard rate "minus the weight of growth" must be greater than 105. The minimum height for candidates - 164 cm (to easily keep the upper part of the passenger compartment in order), and the maximum - 175 cm.

But if a few centimeters high, employers will be able to forgive, it is the extreme limit of - 185 cm - relevant for male cabin crew (the limit is due to elementary and high ceilings in the aircraft cabin).

Flight attendants must be beautiful by definition. Stewardess - face of the company and an attractive face, as psychologists say, trust life much easier. Soiskatelnits need to be concerned about the ideal image in addition to a resume.

At the same CV (according to the latest trends) desirable record of higher education. Preference - graduates of the Medical University and the National University of Foreign Languages. For another, it is desirable to add a diploma certificate of completion of language courses. Flawless English - one of the basic requirements of the employer. By law, the communication with passengers assumes knowledge of Ukrainian and English, and the third, optional, - an invaluable bonus for applicants.

Competition for employment usually consists of three stages: interviews, psychological testing and medical examination. Ideally, candidates should be welcoming, balanced and perfectly healthy. Particular attention is paid during the medical examination eyesight (it should be almost absolute), cardiovascular and nervous systems. Contrary to popular myth centrifuges flight attendants do not rotate. Their vestibular system can be easily checked in the otolaryngologist's office. The subject sits in a chair, and the doctor only three times around the axis of the swivel chair, watching at the same time the situation of the future of flight attendants body. If the head leans to one side, it means that serious breaches of the applicant in the vestibular system: a candidate sent for further examination.

celestial school

And only after all the tests of the future of flight attendants sent for training, which is usually paid by the employer. Profession can be learned in the main training and certification centers of Ukraine and the International Civil Aviation Aviation Training Center. Educational programs at both centers are the same in many respects.

The fundamental difference - in the type of aircraft, where future flight attendants familiar during practice. Matzpen experts teach hosting on foreign aircraft, GUSTSGAU - at home, gradually opening up new foreign models. Therefore, even if you have the opportunity to receive a specialty on its own initiative and at their own expense (without application airline), remember that the employment and training in the field of aviation tightly interconnected. Firstly, surely you can not know what type of aircraft is oriented employer, and on what specific open positions. Therefore, it is likely that, even with a degree profile, the practical part will have to take place again. However, skilled attendants during the transition to a different type of aircraft are also being retrained. Second, find the right job is not so easy. It is necessary to keep abreast of events airlines. And during the search the knowledge and skills can be forgotten or loss.

Training to take 18 years, theoretical course lasts about three months, the bottom - two days. Future of flight attendants is a brief 90-hour English course - mastered enough vocabulary to communicate in flight. You can pull up and the level of Ukrainian. But the basis of a program of training - action in an emergency. After the pilot is in the cockpit and cabin crew - in the cabin. The evacuation of the passengers - the task of the flight attendants. And how quickly it happens (it about 1-3 minutes), it depends very much. The so-called "emergency training" are all means of transport (emphasis - air type). However, as the pre-medical. Sometimes, during a very successful flight the passenger becomes ill. Especially for such cases on board there is oxygen,

There in the center and training on the water. Leased pool which students practice tested survival in case of a forced landing on water. Prospective flight attendants learn to use rafts and jackets, to help passengers. Another component of the program - fire training. Flight attendants are instructed in case of force majeure.

During the theoretical course, students study international law and traditions of different peoples. For example, starting to work, the flight attendants can not be unaware that, for example, in Muslim countries should behave discreetly as possible, so as not to offend immodest appearance or behavior of the religious feelings of believers. Abroad airplane - the property of Ukraine, her face. And the crew behavior in many ways forms the country's international image.

Employment in the service sector in many respects difficult: there are different customers. And on board it is possible to hear hurtful words, and even insults. But the response - totally unacceptable. Therefore, part of the course deals with a variety of psychological techniques and tactics.

The school day at the center lasts 6 hours, 2 of which are reserved for independent work, consolidate knowledge and skills. At the end of training - examination and approval to fly. Inexperienced passengers flight attendants immediately, of course, do not trust, so after training is provided 30 hours of flight instruction.

In the future, we will always have to confirm the professionalism. On average, once every six months to organize airline employees credit or exam. And every two years, the flight attendants are sent to refresher courses. So, podnatorev can become an instructor and himself.
