🌟⭐🌟 ANSWERS ⭐🌟⭐

🎈For SCARS/BIRTHMARKS - You just have to conceal it to hide because there's no other way aside from conceal.

🎈For TATTOOS - It should not be visible to the uniform. Its not allowed if you have tattoos in hands/arms/legs/neck but if its in the stomach/tummy or if its in the part where no one can see as long is it can be hidden when you wear a shirt then its probably okay.

🎈For MOLES - As long as its not big or many that is on your face then its fine. For ladies you may conceal it with makeup while for boys makeup is not allowed.

🎈For PIMPLES/ACNE - The only way to avoid pimples/acne is to sleep early or at least 8 hours a day. Always take care your skin by washing your face daily 2/3 times a day. Don't wear too much makeup everyday if its not necessary. Drink lots of water everyday and you can use ice to freshen up your face. Avoid eating oily foods.

🎈For BRACES - Its not allowed when your applying for cabin crew. But in other jobs that is not FA then its okay to apply wearing braces except for cabin crew. (In Airasia Berhad Open Day in Makati they were announcing before going inside the Makati Shangri-la Hotel that braces are not allowed. If your wearing braces it depends if they will give consideration or not but they will require you to still remove it).

🎈For DENTURES/FALSE TEETH - As long as it looks alright and complete then there's nothing to worry about. If there is a missing tooth inside then when you smile the missing tooth is not seen then its fine too.

Make sure that the dentures are won't fall and you need to visit your dentist regarding with teeth problems on how to fix it.

You don't need to make your teeth super white but not too much yellowish just brush your teeth 3 times a day to be more clean and fresh.

🎈For CROOKED TEETH - You need to wear braces first for about 1 to 2 years to make it straight. Because braces are not allowed when you apply for cabin crew. You need to wait and apply for other jobs in the meantime while trying to fix your crooked teeth.

🎈For CLEAR VISION - You will be able to know once your already having a medical if they will allow it or not.

🎈For CONTACT LENSES/EYE GLASSES - It depends if it will be allowed because I saw cabin crews wearing eye glasses. Then for contact lenses it should be clear. Colored contact lense are not allowed.

🎈For FALSE EYE LASHES - It is not allowed because your applying for a job not going to a party. Just use mascara make it simple.

🎈For SCOLIOSIS - It depends you will be able to know once your already having a medical if they will allow it or not. But if its it looks really bad then there might be chances that it won't be allowed anymore.

🎈For WEIGHT PROPORTIONED TO HEIGHT -

You can measure your height at home and your weight then try to see the height and weight chart online. Do a research and see the results. Always make sure to maintain the balance of weight to your height. Discipline yourself not to eat too much to avoid getting fat/being over weight.

🎈For HEIGHT - Only Cebu Pacific Air (every mondays and tuesdays to apply for male and female), Philippine Airlines (PAL Express) (for pooling/not yet hiring for male and female), AirAsia Philippines (every open days only/through online application for male and female) and Oman Air (accepts walk in for females only and must be single) are the only airlines in the Philippines that has height requirements but for Qatar Airways (every open days only for females only) and Saudia Airlines (accepts walk in every weekdays at IPAMS from morning until afternoon) DOESN'T HAVE HEIGHT REQUIREMENT AS LONG AS YOU CAN REACH 212CM FOR LEFT AND RIGHT ARM.

🎈For COLORED HAIR - It must be dark/black for most airlines but for Airasia its okay to have blonde hair and its alright to have hair down however to most airlines your hair must be tied up to see your face clearly. For short hair just clip your bangs.

🎈For AGE REQUIREMENTS - There are specific airlines that has maximum age. New policies in Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines Express HAS NO AGE LIMIT ANYMORE. Other Airlines accepts above 30 years old like Airasia, Saudia, Qatar, Saudi Aramco, Saudigulf and Emirates CSA.

🎈For MARRIED APPLICANTS - Only in Oman Airlines its not allowed married applicants must be single. But for Qatar, Saudia, Cebu Pacific, Airasia and PAL Express they accept married applicants with kids.

🎈MOST AIRLINES ONLY ACCEPTS FEMALE -

In the Philippines there are only few airlines available here for MALE applicants like Cebu Pacific, Airasia, PALEX but if the boys will apply abroad there will be many opportunities for you because there are so many airlines available for MALE applicants like Emirates/Etihad/Qatar and etc.

🎈For STOCKINGS - Its not necessary to wear stockings because most airlines require to remove stockings.

🎈WHERE TO APPLY FOR EMIRATES FA/ETIHAD/CATHAY PACIFIC/DELTA AIRLINES/UNITED AIRLINES/JETSTAR/GULF AIR?

This airlines are through online applications only and if you passed the online application you need to fly to their country at your own expense. Because the only airlines that has online interview if its under an agency here in the Philippines.

The Emirates Cabin Service Assistant has an online final interview for those who passed the assesment day group dynamics. But if the airline has no agency in the Philippines the interview will be outside of the country. The last hiring for Emirates Cabin Crew in the Philippines was around 8-10 years ago. Eversince then the cabin crew position did not hire again in the Philippines.

Then the very first time a Cabin Service Assistant hired in IPAMS was 3 years ago October 2015. After 3 years the Emirates CSA hired again last August 21 - September 15, 2018. The Emirates CSA already had an Assesment Day last September 24 -25 while Saudigulf FA also had an Assesment Day last September 28, 2018.

Around 24 applicants were chosen for EK CSA while for Saudigulf only 6 were chosen for Flight Attendant position. That's why the position is closed already. The only available airlines now for IPAMS is the Saudia Airlines every weekdays walk in from 8am to 5pm and Qatar Airways will always be announcing the next Open Day hiring in Manila/Clark Pampanga/Davao.

👉For DELTA & UNITED AIRLINES - You need to be a US citizen to apply and you need to fly in the US if yor planning to apply for this airlines.

👉For CATHAY PACIFIC - You need to be a Hongkong resident to apply for cabin crew position.

👉For EMIRATES Cabin Crew/Flight Attendant position - once you passed the online application you need to fly in Dubai at your own expense.

👉For ETIHAD - You need to fly in Abu Dhabi at your own expense once you passed the online application.

👉For JETSTAR - You have to fly to Singapore at your own expense once you passed the online application.

👉For GULF AIR - You need to fly to Bahrain at your own expense once you passed the online application.

🚩Other Airlines that might be hiring again next year (They only hire once a year):

🛫Nesma Airlines at International Skill Development, Inc. (FOR FEMALES ONLY)

🛫Saudi Aramco at Gold Icon Recruitment And Promotion Inc. (MALE & FEMALE)

🎈For HIGHSCHOOL GRAD - Only international airlines accepts Highschool graduates like Saudia Airlines and Qatar Airways but for Airasia and Cebu Pacific must be at least 2 years in College while for Philippine Airlines Express must be 4 years in College.

🎈For DIFFERENT COURSE - Yes they do accept even if you are in Fashion/Engineering/Architecture/Doctor/Psychology/IT and etc.

🎈For FLIGHT ATTENDANT SCHOOL - Its just optional if you want to take it or not. There are many cabin crews now that did not enroll to FA schools without any background in aviation/without any experience. You will get to experience a cabin crew training once you passed the interviews and medical exam. The actual FA training (not FA school) takes 2-3 months but it depends because in Saudi Aramco and Saudigulf domestic Middle East Airlines it only takes 25 days to be trained in Barhain (all expenses paid). Only if you passed the interview and you are one of the lucky shortlisted candidates who can proceed to the next step.

🎈WHAT IS A TOEIC - It is only recommended for those who don't have English subjects in College. But if you do have English in your Transcript Of Record then you don't need to take TOEIC. (It is required in Vietjet and Airasia Berhad)

🎈THERE IS NO SPECIAL COURSE FOR FA - Just do a research online and you will know everyting about cabin crew.
