Message From Monica & Simona After 6 years as commercial cabin crews, we wanted to explore further, discover more and contribute all our skills and resources to the field we are so passionate about. We moved to private aviation and became lead cabin crews, instructors, recruiters and managers and, through the years, learnt countless valuable lessons and met just as many amazing people. We remained curious through it all and have always looked for ways to do more, better, bigger and, most importantly, to give back to those who are just starting or continuing their pursuit of aviation happiness. In this edition, our contributing friends, cabin crews themselves, bring you articles about culture, photography, health and fitness, personal development, real-life experiences and so much more. We hope you remain curious and continue to grow, personally and professionally, and we hope you love reading your magazine as much as we love creating it.

Children Of Kibera - Kenya
Children Of Kibera - Kenya
It was only when I heard Collins’ outburst of laughter followed by a very hilariously-serious “Are you crazy?!” that I had a hint of hesitation... I had met Collins through a Cabin Crew colleague of mine. Collins used to fly for Etihad, but was now back in Kenya so I decided to ask my colleagues if they had a contact that could show me around as I had always wanted to visit Kenya but had heard that it is not particularly safe, especially for a blondhaired foreigner that knew nothing of it. I had spent the majority of my time in Kenya in Masai Mara on Safari, as I travelled on my off days from work, something all cabin crew try to make the most of.
But despite his efforts to stop me, we were soon on our way to a very memorable city. Upon arriving, he spoke to a local Kiberan and the man offered to show us around, for a fee of course. We paid the requested fee with all due respect to the man as I feared that without a local by our side we would most definitely run into trouble. The Kiberan man and Collins were chatting in the background as I was getting sucked into a world of absolute purity, color and freedom… Welcome to Kibera!.. The first pictures were of course of children, they always are. The innocence of the local children made me lose all the initial awareness of the possible dangers around me.
I was blessed to be able to go on Safari by myself, the guides were very accommodating and allowed me to move around and stop for extended periods of time, which would not have happened if I was part of a tour group. Safari snaps to come in another edition of the Cabin Crew Excellence Magazine ;) So on my first day in Kenya – I’m sitting in Collins’ car staring at him as he’s having his fit of laughter when he once again surprises me with a statement “Do you want to get killed?”. This was his answer to me asking if he would take me to Kibera - a slum, a city of souls known in Nairobi for its poverty and dirt. Issue #2 June 2015
www.cabincrewexcellence.com
On our walk I came across this woman, tending to her beauty needs as all women do. (below) This reminded me that people are people and that we all do the things we do. A woman in Kibera is no different to a woman in a high-rise apartment in New York City. All women want to be beautiful… NO all women are beautiful. This was my photograph of the day.
I snapped this image of this beautiful young girl (below) , after I had given her a lollypop from the stack of candies I carry around for children, a habit I’ve had ever since I decide to photograph rural areas. Her reaction was innocent and pure and I am truly blessed to have caught it, I have never seen such happiness, bliss and humble appreciation for something as small as a lollipop. One thing that I found fascinating was how organised everything was. If the word “slum” is mentioned in conversation, one immediately assumes complete chaos and lawlessness. There where children going to school building a future, women running their beauty shops making money, men replacing tires to make sure everyone will get to where they are going and Kibera is home to all these people, a spider web of life, an integrated society. What I experienced could only be described as a beat…a heartbeat perhaps or just plainly the beat of Kibera. I was not allowed to move too deeply into Kibera, I was told by the local man that they had different area codes and he was only comfortable showing me the current area we where in, as moving any further would be dangerous and control would be even out of his hands. Here are more of my favourite Kibera beats:

The State of Kenya provided government housing for these people and although they had attempted building new lives there it did not become home, so they where pulled back to Kibera, the slum, where they have the freedom and unity they feel they deserve. Ironic? Perhaps‌ Real? Definitely!..

10 Words & Gestures Every Cabin Crew Should Avoid
10 Words & Gestures Every Cabin Crew Should Be Aware Of The cabin crew population is, most likely, the most culturally diverse professional community in the world. If you look at the cabin crew team on any given Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways or Fly Dubai flight, you should be able to count anywhere between 2 to 10 different nationalities. It really doesn’t get much more diverse than this. We all know that everything in life is a matter of perspective, right? So what looks like an orange to some might be called an apple by others. One word or gesture can express gratitude in a language and be offensive, funny or just meaningless in another. Here are a few words and gestures that you might want to avoid during your globetrotting adventure to make sure you stay our of trouble of any kind. Italy A plain little gesture right? Well… Not exactly! To most Arabic cultures, that translates into slowly or wait a little. In India, it often means would you like to eat?. In Italy, the gesture has an offensive meaning! France and Romania The word Preservative has different meanings in different countries. In England the term refers to an accompaniment or flavour enhancer. In Romania and France, it is translated into condom. UK, Australia and New Zealand Many use this sign to say peace or victory. You might have noticed that South Korean crew often use it when they take pictures. Their palm is either facing outwards toward the camera, similar to the picture, or inwards towards themselves with the back of the hand facing the camera. Irrespective of the hand position, the meaning remains the same. In western cultures like England or USA the meaning of the gesture is just as positive if the hand’s position is identical to the picture. However, turn your hand with the back of your palm facing the camera/another person and you are basically dropping the “F” word on them or more typically know as flipping them the “Bird”. It’s highly offensive! Hungary Don’t ask for cookies when in Hungary, it means small penis. Turkey, Russia and Brazil While in the USA this gesture means everything is OK, in Turkey, Russia and Brazil it means you’re gay. Belgium and France In Belgium and France this same gesture means you are worthless. Japan Money is what this translates into in Japan. Korea If you are in the mood for dance lessons while in Korea, don’t ask for salsa classes! The word salsa in Korean means diarrhoea.

10 Words & Gestures Every Cabin Crew Should Avoid
Many different cultures Snapping fingers over and over again can indicate a person is trying hard to remember something. In Latin America, you are prompting somebody to hurry up by snapping your fingers. In many European countries, people tend to snap their fingers when they remember something or have a great idea. In some cultures, the gesture is used with an insulting connotation, either done very close to somebody’s face with the intention to say focus or used to get somebody’s attention from a distance.
Germany Ask for “coffee with a lot of milk” if you are in the mood for a german made latte because the word “latte” in German means erect penis.
India and Greece While in India this means I’m not talking to you, in Greece you are basically sending somebody straight to hell when using this gesture.
Sweden Don’t tell your taxi driver to reduce the speed when in Sweden. The word speed means fart in Swedish. There’s no need to put a picture or the description of the middle finger protruding from a clenched fist’s meaning. It is considered extremely rude by all cultures and can get you in a great deal of trouble in some countries. Take advantage of the many benefits of our profession and get together with crew that are from different countries and cultures as often as possible. Stay curious and find out as much as you can about other cultures while also sharing good insight into your own! Discovering new cultures from around the world is one of the most common reason we all choose this profession, isn't it? Make the most of it! Blue skies, everybody!

10 Cabin Crew Interview Day Mistakes That Will Cost You Your Job
10 Cabin Crew Interview Day Mistakes That Will Cost You Your Job
Going for an interview that could land you the job of your dreams and potentially change your life forever is not an easy task. The stress of the event can be pretty nerve wrecking and you can unintentionally end up making mistakes that will cost you the job. Thorough advanced preparation is key to increasing your awareness on how you should dress, speak and carry yourself to make sure you are part of the magical 10% that get offered the job.
These are 10 mistakes you must avoid to stay off the “rejected” list
PLAY VIDEO
1. Being late Prepare everything one night before: your outfit, portfolio, ride to the venue, etc., to avoid any unexpected situations the morning of the interview. Ideally, you should arrive at the venue at least 15 minutes before the announced starting hour. 2. Showing up in an inappropriate outfit or wearing too many accessories Remember to dress how you want to be addressed and don’t show up wearing an outfit suitable for a nightclub or a casual walk in the park.
Look at the uniform style of the airline you are interviewing for and try to mirror it-that’s the safest bet. Recruitment is an emotional thing though, so if you want to let your personality shine through and avoid being plain coloured, you can wear a bold yet tasteful scarf or tie that compliments your outfit. When it comes to accessories, less is more so keep it basic!
Issue #2 June 2015

10 Cabin Crew Interview Day Mistakes That Will Cost You Your Job
3. Going to the interview with a poor portfolio – meaning your CV and photos Many of you post pictures online and ask for opinions on how appropriate they are for an interview with one airline or another and it is very unfortunate to see so many bad photos. You must read the airline requirements carefully and follow it to the T! Invest in a professional photo shoot done in a studio with a photographer that can edit your photos nicely. It is an investment into your future after all and a small price to pay for the opportunity to be successful at the interview. 4. Not listening to the recruiters’ indications They will give useful information throughout the day from details regarding the way the day is going to go to details about the company, its structure, evolution and so on. If you don’t pay attention, you might (and will) miss important info. That can become very apparent to the recruiters later on during the day and they will see you as ignorant or not interested enough. 5. Talking about money during candidates’ Q&A session There will be a time during the day when recruiters will give the candidates the chance to ask questions. It is part of your preparation process to make sure you have all the details regarding the package offered and all or most working conditions. Whatever you do, don’t ask questions regarding salary or vacation entitlements; that tends to put recruiters off massively since nobody wants an employee that is only concerned with the benefits he/she is getting before contributing to the company’s success. 6. Cliché talks during personal presentation When doing your personal presentation and expressing your motivation for becoming cabin crew, we recommend staying away from the cliché type of reasons like “I want to travel the world and discover new cultures” or “I enjoy meeting new people”, etc. Instead, focus on professional objectives that would benefit the airline while also contributing to your professional and personal development. 7. Being soft spoken, synonym to lack of confidence Keep your voice and attitude balanced. If you are naturally soft spoken, practice your presentation to make sure the tone of your voice denotes confidence and you don’t come across as being timid. Timid people find it hard to be in a multi cultural, customer service oriented environment and it will make the recruiters think you aren’t suitable for the role.

8. Being arrogant Quiet confidence is very attractive and it will earn the recognition and appreciation of the other candidates and recruiters alike. 9. Badmouthing your previous employer If asked why do you want to leave your current job, avoid any negative talk about your previous/current employer. Focus on what you aim to achieve in your professional life and how the airline you are interviewing with provides that perspective while your previous employer (although a wonderful company to work for) unfortunately doesn’t offer the same perspective. 10. Being isolated from the other candidates Socialize with the other participants, be friendly and easily approachable and remember to always smile. Although you might see the other applicants as competition, recruiters will observe your capacity to interact with people that you don’t know. If you find this hard to do among people that speak the same language as you, the recruiters will think you won’t be able to adapt to a multicultural environment or be easily approachable by the passengers.

3 Types Of Shoes Every Cabin Crew Should Carry
3 Types Of Shoes Every Cabin Crew Should Carry If you are anything like us, you are still having a hard time packing efficiently for your lay-over, even after years of flying We know lay-overs are generally short and even if we know exactly what we are planning to do during the stay in any destination, we still somehow pack useless clothes and shoes, just in case In reality, wherever you might be going, you will only need 3 types of shoes to make sure you make the most of your stay irrespective of the destination.
Flats Whether you’re planning to go shopping, run errands for your friends or family or simply take a casual walk to the nearest coffeeshop, a pair of flats will always come in handy and will be very comfy. Your feet will appreciate the break, especially after walking up and down the isles non stop on a very busy flight. If you’re flying into a cold destination, you can replace your flats with a pair of comfy boots. If flying into a very hot destination, you might be better off with a pair of sandals or comfortable slippers.
High Heels A pair of high heels should be in every girl’s suitcase. If you have a fun set of crew planning to have a memorable night out, you wouldn't wanna miss out because you’re not carrying your night out outfit. If you want to have more opportunities covered (like a formal dinner with airline management members), you can carry a pair in a colour that suits all occasions, like nude or pastel colours.
Trainers If you are a fitness enthusiast, you’ll have your trainers with you even for the shortest of lay-overs. If you’re not exactly a gym kind of person but prefer to walk around and spend as much time as you can outdoors, you can’t go wrong with a pair of neutral colour trainers.
Tip: Pack your shoes in hotel shower caps to save space and keep the clothes packed around your shoes clean.

Ericka’s Engine Picture Rallies Cabin Crew All Over The World To Unite
Ericka’s Engine Picture Rallies Cabin Crew All Over The World To Unite Ericka Diehl who works for Spirit Airlines in the United States was the subject of much controversy as passengers boarding a flight were apparently alarmed and distressed when they saw their flight attendant taking a picture inside the engine of the plane. The incident resulted in passengers officially complaining to Spirit Airlines about the event. T h e a i r l i n e ’s r e s p o n s e ? T h e y condemned her action, saying it violated company procedures and disciplinar y action is underway following an investigation. Support has flooded in from around the worldwide cabin crew community to protest against the way Ericka has been treated over the incident.
I have a book here that's full of pictures, just one book full of pictures of flight attendants in front of those engines. This is very common and what flight attendants have been doing over the past 24 hours is posting the pictures that they have of themselves in the engines said Sara Nelson, president at the Association of Flight Attendants. Cabin Crew, Pilots and Ground Staff have been posting pictures all over the web in support of the cause as it is common knowledge amongst aviation professionals that engine photos has been a right of passage for anybody in the field for decades…

A Guide On Transitioning From Commercial To VIP Cabin Crew
A Guide On Transitioning From Commercial To VIP Cabin Crew
In the past years, countless commercial cabin crews have asked the age-old question:
When & How Can I move into private aviation? They have lived the airline experience, moved up in the ranks as high as possible and are now eager to expand their horizons even further by transitioning to a VIP operator. The perks offered by a VIP cabin crew role tempt even the most airline-loyal commercial crews and include:
Up to 100% higher monthly income (most VIP cabin crew take home over $70,000 per year) Up to 50% more time off than commercial cabin crew(possibly up to 70% if working on rotation basis) More free tickets to the crew’s home country (for rotation-based contracts) The privilege of working for/with some of the world’s highest ranking individuals (celebrities, royal family members, etc.), traveling to more remote unique destinations with longer lay-overs (sometimes weeks-long), the different environment and the lighter passenger load are all just added bonuses. The glamour factor is actually real and our aircrafts fly farther, faster and higher, literally. When you consider the financial rewards alone, everybody wants in. It isn’t unheard of that crew take home not only their monthly income but also substantial signs of appreciation from their more generous VIPs. On the flip side, the employers’ expectations are high, the recruiters are extremely selective and the difficulty to break through these barriers is real.
So how do you get there? How do u break into the highly lucrative, very prestigious field of VIP aviation? Issue #2 June 2015
www.cabincrewexcellence.com
A Guide On Transitioning From Commercial To VIP Cabin Crew
The most common requirements are: Up to 35 years of age Minimum height 165 cm and weight in proportion with height Previous VIP experience Strong knowledge of official protocols when dealing with HNWI (heads of state, royal family members, celebrities, etc.) Impeccable portfolio (CV and photos) Impeccably groomed Very discreet person Complete flexibility Creativity and personal accountability Highly developed organisational skills Some of the requirements are set in stone (e.g. personal presentation and demeanour, discretion, height/ weight, etc.) however some might leave room for compromise between the recruiters and the applicants (yourself). When it comes to experience however, if nobody hires you, how are you going to gain that experience?
First you have to remember that every VIP cabin crew was once a commercial airline cabin crew. The industry is open for anybody who’s ambitious enough to pursue it. Getting into the private aviation sector takes a whole lot of individual study, a good network to expose your portfolio through and a little bit of luck. According to statistics, 1 in 100 cabin crew applying for a role with a VIP operator actually end up getting the job. Staying updated with all the active job offers as well as knowing the exact requirements for each is essential to sending your application out and through the right channels.
Our Expert Advice Invest in your industry-relevant knowledge as much as possible so you can appear in front of recruiters with 100% confidence. This will not only show a great deal of initiative and determination on your side, but the recruiters will be happy to be presented with a ready-to-go candidate like yourself that needs little to no time dedicated to ground and on-the-job training. Follow up with the current vacancies and apply consistently. Expand your network and try getting in touch with cabin crew that are active in the field and might be willing to give you additional insight on how to present yourself at the interview.

When did you start flying and why did you choose this profession? I began my adventurous new life with Emirates Airlines eighteen months ago. After completing my Bachelors Degree in London, I realised I wasn't ready to retire my passport and hang up my traveling shoes. I spent a great deal of time during University traveling around and I knew that I still had a lot of wanderlust left in me. When I thought about what I wanted to do with my life, I knew that my feet just weren't meant to be on the ground, my home was in the sky. I have always enjoyed the rush of travel, the enjoyment of packing without a solid plan and knowing that no matter where I land, it's going to be an adventure. I wanted to see for myself the places I read about in history books during my studies, not just turn pages. I wanted to walk among the ruins in Rome, explore the hidden alleyways in Paris, and get lost in the hustle and bustle that is the Far East. For me, the sky was the answer. I knew I had the desire, I just needed wings.

Cabin Crew In Focus: Carmen
What was the biggest challenge during your recruitment stages? The hardest challenge during that stage was the wait for "the Golden Call". It was excruciating. I have never wanted anything more in my life than having that beautiful red hat perched on my head. It was hard to continue an everyday routine not knowing whether or not I would be accepted for the job. My mother told me that I had to keep living and take each day one day at a time. The days seemed to never end, however. This topic comes up sometimes in the galley and we all remember exactly where we were when "the call" came. We remember how many times we cried ourselves to sleep at night and how each day we tried to put on a happy face and wait until 5:00 Dubai time. Our hearts beat to the tick of every second on the clock. Now, remembering that wait, we take a moment to send well wishes to the thousands of future crew out there waiting for their own golden call. It's a hard wait; the hours slip by like sand in the desert, and time crawls like the sun across the sky. But when it comes, nothing is sweeter than hearing the words, "this is your golden call". How did you feel when you received your golden call, confirming you had been admitted to join EK? Before my golden call came I would wake up every morning and ask my mom "Did it come?" "Was it a dream?" My call came in at 6:04am and my first words upon hearing my recruiters voice was to say, "Is this real? Is this a dream?” I don't remember many details from the call, only the repetitive "No, Elizabeth this is real. Welcome to your new home! Welcome to Emirates". After the phone call ended I remember just crying. The depth of my happiness penetrated every feeling of sorrow I had been living with. It was the sun coming out after a long night of thunderstorms, I stumbled into everything trying to get to my parents room to tell them I made it. And then I sat at their doorway just repeating the words, "I made it, I made it”. Leaving friends and family behind and relocating to a country half way across the world must have been overwhelming. Did you second-guess your decision? I have never second-guessed my decision to work for Emirates. I think one of the unique things about me is that I am always looking towards the future. I view the past as a stepping-stone towards the future. Everything that has happened has led me here. I don’t think of joining Emirates as having left my friends and family behind. Rather I view it as the start of a new future where I would make new friends and add new members to my family. What’s it like to fly for one of the biggest airlines in the world? Thirty-five countries in eighteen months. Every day I get to wake up and go to a job I love. Every morning I am able to look out the window of my office and see the North Pole, the Swiss Alps, the Pyramids or K2. I don't just shop; I shop in Bangkok, Paris, Rome, NYC, and Tokyo! I used to be that picky person who had a set menu of food, now I have the most adventurous palate. I've had baby octopus, fried scorpion, and fish coming straight from the ocean to my table.

What is the biggest reward you had from the job so far? The best part is that I get to share the world with everyone through the use of social media. I am so grateful to be able to take my friends and family around the world with me thru photos and videos shared on the Internet. I am living proof of the truth in the quote " Love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life". Do you have a favourite destination and if so, what makes it special to you? I don't even need the needle of a compass anymore to lead me to my favourite destination; my heart already knows where it wants to go. For me all roads lead to Rome and my passport is full of stamps from the Eternal City. I know by heart the flights to Rome and when I have days off I’m waiting at the airport to board a flight to my favourite destination. There is something inspiring and humbling about being able to wander the streets knowing that civilisation began here. I find it incredible to be able to view these monuments to humanity and know that they have survived for centuries and will be here for centuries to come. It’s the only place in the world where I feel the past and present have combined to create a solely unique city unlike anything I have ever discovered before. What’s the most difficult thing about being a cabin crew? The most difficult part of being cabin crew is being able to adjust your body clock. Jumping on time zones is hard on the body and sometimes I have to sacrifice my layovers in order to try to catch up on the sleep I have missed. The best advice I have ever received on how to manage this was from my mother who said “eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are tired”. It’s important to manage your rest before a flight, to eat healthy, and keep hydrated.
I don't even need the needle of a compass anymore to lead me to my favourite destination; my heart already knows where it wants to go. Could you share with us a funny or inspiring experience you will never forget? Recently, I operated a flight from Dubai to Munich. When I found out that we had a new joiner on board I went to talk with her and make sure that she was settling in without problems. I usually give the new joiners a small welcome pack and my phone number just in case they find themselves with questions or just overwhelmed and needing to talk. When I knelt down to speak to the girl she interrupted me and said "Lyze! I know you; we talked about Emirates before I joined! You gave me advice on my interview. I'm here because of what you said! You told me to be myself in the interview, and I did and I made it, I'm here! She gave me the biggest hug ever and I knew then that my lifelong career was going to be continuing what I had started with Emirates eighteen months ago.

Are there times when the going gets tough? If so, what keeps you going with such positivity? There are days when I find my job to be particularly challenging, but no matter how hard a flight has been I always make a point to leave it at the airplane door. You go into this job knowing that no two flights will ever be the same. You can do the same sector ten times but it will always be different. What makes a flight is the crew. We really do work as a large extended family and like all families, sometime working together isn't the easiest thing. But when the going gets tough, we all know we are in this together. We put our shoulder to the wheel and pull together to make every flight the best experience possible, not only for the passengers, but for the crew as well. So if the flight has been a challenge, I walk out of the aircraft and I leave any problems at the door. I know that tomorrow will be a new adventure and when you fly on the winds aloft, you can’t let anything weigh you down.
I would advise aspiring crew to do their homework. Don’t go into the interview not knowing about Dubai and about Emirates. Read about who cabin crew are and what we do. What would you advise aspiring cabin crew? I would advise aspiring crew to do their homework. Don’t go into the interview not knowing about Dubai and about Emirates.

We are trained for medical situations, trained in security, and trained to be fire fighters. We are the front line people who will help you make your destination safely. We will hold your hand when you’re frightened and give our hearts when you've had to leave yours behind at the airport. And ask yourself why you want this job? Yes, you'll say you want to travel and see the world, but what else do you want to accomplish from being cabin crew? When you join Emirates, your life will never be the same. You will be changed for the better. You will leave your country and return a citizen of the global community. You will be cognisant of things you would never have known before. You will fall in love with the new and will always be looking towards a new day. The unknown adventure will call you away from the familiar and you'll never see the future the same again. Each day will be a chance to write your story all over again with new places and new faces. After all, that’s why at Emirates our motto is "Hello Tomorrow!” If You Would Love To Be An Emirates Cabin Crew: Click Here >>

Online Learning & Screening - The Future Of The Cabin Crew Recruitment Process?
Online Learning & Screening - The Future Of The Cabin Crew Recruitment Process? E-learning or online learning is one of the fastest growing market segments in the world, according to global statistics. In 2014 it was estimated that over 85% of US and European corporations were using online learning with more large scale multinational companies also shifting predominant sections of their training towards this structure. Corporate training is a $200 billion a year business and now E-learning accounts for over $107 billion of that amount as of 2015; that’s a staggering 53.5% of the market and the trend is only getting bigger. Online learning is especially attractive to corporations since it allows them to train existing employees and easily prepare new joiners. Integrating automated learning structures throughout the business with minimal manpower saves time and allows for full automation and easy testing. Costs decrease and working efficiency rises throughout the entire organisation and, most importantly, it improves the companies’ bottom line and they end up making more profit.
The major airlines of the world must be looking at seriously overhauling their recruitment structures and moving towards integrating an online based process which can massively reduce time, energy and costs, not to mention it will help them screen candidates more effectively and improve the quality of their recruitment process and new employees retention. Ultimately you can never hire someone in the airline or hospitality industry without laying eyes on them first, however online platforms could help the airlines’ recruitment when it comes to the pre-screening stages. Airlines who recruit globally suffer from overpopulated open and assessment days and some airlines are working on an invite-only structure in recent times, however this method may cause excellent candidates to slip through the net and go on to join the competition - a huge faux-pas when you consider how fierce the cabin crew market is, especially in the Middle East.

Online Learning & Screening - The Future Of The Cabin Crew Recruitment Process?
The added benefit of online learning is the fact that you can do it from the comfort of your own home and in your own time while the cost is substantially less that other methods of learning and tutoring.
So What Is The Solution And Is Online learning a Feasible Model? When you consider that half the students studying at universities or colleges around the world have, on average, 50% of their classes online, and the fact that you can study and obtain a Masters Degree or PHD (doctorate) online, then surely there is a compelling case for pre-screening via E-learning when it comes to the cabin crew recruitment process.
You don't need to waste money and travel a million miles to sit in a boring classroom for 2-3 days, and you don't need to book time off work or let it take over your personal life or your weekend unnecessarily. With E-Learning you can simply study at your own pace. The likes of FlyDubai are arguably the most forward thinking airline on the topic of E-learning/screening, with a large section of their recruitment process done online before spending time and money on meeting candidates face to face. It will not be long before all the other major airlines will follow and integrate online learning and screening into their recruitment processes.
Video based trainings are making online learning fun, interactive and engaging When you’re preparing for the highly sought after cabin crew interview, prospective candidates can also give themselves an advantage via online Elearning methods. With video based trainings making online learning fun, interactive and engaging, long gone are the days of reading boring ebooks that are filled with dry unimaginative text. The only danger online is that you need to make sure the information you are receiving is from credible sources. Make sure you are getting it directly from experienced trainers who have a track record, by checking their histories via LinkedIn, Facebook and other sources.
So what are you awaiting for? If you really want to excel at something and become the best you can be whilst learning at your own pace in the comfort of your fluffy slippers and a hot cup of coffee, then the only person stopping you is you! If people can sit at home and get PHD’s and Masters Degrees online, then you can learn anything you want if you put your mind to it. More power to you!
Could Online Interview Preparation Work For You??
Don't spend any money on learning anything until you know who is standing in-front of you presenting information that could make or break your future career. There are many places you can look online but basing your decisions on the credibility of your instructors and trainers’ track record is the most important aspect to finding the right platform for you.

Summer Sweat: 5 Steps To An Effective Warm Weather Work Out
Summer Sweat: 5 Steps To An Effective Warm Weather Work Out The warm weather is finally here, and that means you can shed those layers and hit the beach! It also means that it’s a great time to ditch the gym and take your workouts outside to help you shape up for this summer. Celebrity and professional athlete trainer Gunnar Peterson offers these simple tips to help you stay in shape and maximise your workouts this summer: 1. Be resourceful – No gym? No problem! Enjoy the sunshine and your surroundings. Try taking your workout to the nearest park or beach where there is a bench. Work your triceps, shoulders and core with bench dips – sit on a bench and place your hands next to your hips, palms facing down. Slide your butt forward off of the bench and bend your elbows, bringing upper arms almost parallel to ground, then return to the starting position. Keep your lower back close to the bench and complete 12 reps. For an added upper body workout, do pushups with your hands on the bench with legs fully extended for 12 reps, and then flip over for an inverted push up – hands on the ground and feet extended on the bench for an additional 12 reps. 2. Hydrate. Dehydration can decrease strength, reduce endurance and delay muscle response. When you sweat you lose more than just water, so make sure to drink fluids with electrolytes such as Propel Electrolyte Water during exercise. This is especially important in the summer heat.
3. Travel smart. People often find their schedules packed with summer travel plans. When you’re on the road, maintaining a workout routine can be difficult. Keep your workout regimen alive! Remember that even small steps count. Book a hotel room at least a few floors up and take the stairs. Or, if you’re limited to lower levels, do calf raises in the elevator. 4. Say yes to sodium. Salt is the most important electrolyte because you lose it in the highest concentration when you sweat, so drinking an electrolyte enhanced beverage during hard workouts is important. High heat indexes during the summer months increase the risk for heat illness. Sodium supports better hydration by stimulating thirst and promoting fluid retention. 5. Say no to excuses. It's easy to find excuses not to exercise in the hectic summer months. Prioritise fitness so excuses can't get in the way. In the early morning hours, you are less likely to be bothered by phone calls and emails. Get your workout in early while enjoying the beautiful sunrise, and then you can get on with your day and feel accomplished, knowing you've already checked breaking-a-sweat off your list. Always keep your fitness top-of-mind and fun so you’ll maintain a consistent routine. In addition, when exercising in the hot summer months, proper hydration is key to maximising each workout and staying safe. To learn more about Propel Electrolyte Water and its next-level hydration benefits, in addition to the importance of hydration while working out, visit www.propelwater.com.

5 Tips To Keep Your Hair Healthy Through The Summer
5 Tips To Keep Your Hair Healthy Through The Summer The (extremely, in some parts of the world) hot season is here again and, among other things we are preoccupied with during summer, keeping our hair as healthy as possible is definitely at the top of the list for us, ladies. As cabin crew, the grooming regulations of most (if not all) airlines compel us to keep our hair tied up in a ponytail or a bun for many hours on end. If you add to that the dryness of the air inflight and the inherent heat damages, it is quite obvious we need to pay special attention to caring for our hair.
Here are 5 tips to help you keep your hair healthy through all the stress it has to endure 1. Let your hair breathe Keeping hair tightly tied up in a bun or ponytail pulls on it and ends up braking or damaging it while also not allowing it to breathe properly. Considering the many products we use to ensure our uniform hairdo isn't too loose or frizzy or comes undone easily, giving your hair a couple of chemical-free days and letting it loose will be a much-deserved break. 2. Cover your hair whenever you are outside Wear a hat or loose scarf to cover your hair whenever you are outdoors (especially in the sun) for longer periods of time. This way your hair will be protected from sun or wind damage and it will retain natural moisture better. 3. Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet It is important to maintain a healthy protein and fibre (seasonal fruits and vegetables) intake and ensure you get enough vitamin B and C, biotin and folic acid. These will not only help your hair stay healthy, but will give your nails and skin a healthy glow at the same time. Drink plenty of water to make sure your hair is less prone to breaking due to dryness.

5 Tips To Keep Your Hair Healthy Through The Summer
4. Massage your hair with natural-ingredient masks or essential oils Castor, coconut, olive and avocado oils are well known for their hair nourishing qualities. Massage a few drops on to your roots and throughout the length of your hair, enough for it to feel moisturised but not greasy. A few ideas of masks that promote your hair’s health would be: (1) a mixture of 1 part honey and 1 part coconut oil melted together, (2) 1 medium size mashed avocado and 2 tablespoons of pure honey mixed together, (3) 1 teaspoon pure honey mixed into 200ml of full fat milk massaged into your hair from root to tip. You can apply these masks and leave them in for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Do either of them every 10 days and watch how your hair gets its radiant, healthy look back in no time. 5. Use a wide-tooth comb You are less likely to break your hair when using a wide tooth comb, however avoid combing or brushing it when it is wet as that’s when it is most prone to tearing and damaging. Wooden brushes or combs are another good alternative as the bristles distribute the natural hair oils evenly and don't cause static electricity when in contact with your hair. Using a leave-in conditioner is also a good idea to ensure it doesn't tangle after washing and becomes difficult to manage.

Tips For
Tips For Fitness On The Go Existing cabin crew, we all know the demands of our profession and the impact it can have on our health and fitness level. Lower backache, excess weight, stress and fatigue catch up with each and every one of us, sooner rather than later. With such a hectic schedule, getting enough rest and maintaining healthy eating habits is hard enough; working out while always on the go is close to impossible, right? WRONG! In fact, it all depends on your dedication to remaining fit and healthy while always on the go and we will show you that it isn't hard at all.
It all depends on your dedication to remaining fit and healthy while always on the go and we will show you that it isn't hard at all . You don't need to have a luxurious gym in your hotel or buy expensive workout outfits that will end up hidden in your closet forever. All you need is: • Basic equipment you can take along on your trips • Enough space in your hotel room for you to lay down in a plank position If you’ve ticked the 2 boxes (and we know you have :D), this section will give you basic exercises to do in your room and very useful nutrition advice to keep you healthy on the go. Ok, so here we go: Carry 1 or 2 whole lemons in your bag and have a cup of warmhot water with two or three lemon slices either first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or after your meals during the day. To make sure the acid in the lemon doesn't damage your teeth enamel in time, drink your lemon water with a straw. If you still don’t know why warm water and lemon are good for your health, here are 5 good reasons to make this your habit: • Improves digestion, relieving signs of indigestion such as bloating or heartburn • Boosts your immune system through the high content of Vitamin C • Stimulates brain and nerve function through the high content of Potassium • Clears the skin, decreases wrinkles and blemishes through the high content of antioxidants • Helps with weight loss because the content of pectin fibre inside lemons reduces cravings

Is It A Good Idea To Crash Diet Before Your Open & Assessment Day?
Is It A Good Idea To Crash Diet Before Your Open & Assessment Day? Make or Break?
When you want to become a cabin crew, your weight is important and needs to be in proportion to your height, not only for grooming reasons but also for health considerations. Airlines are very particular about this aspect because they, naturally, want their cabin crew to look and feel their best. Our weight influences the way we feel and being overweight can affect your chances at getting the job. Many candidates approach us with this concern and one or two months before their interview ask us what should they do? Should they start a crash-diet or straight-up starve themselves?.. Well, as a qualified personal trainer and nutrition specialist Monica at Cabin Crew Excellence always encourages people to loose weight the healthy way, by following a sound nutrition plan and training with consistency. But we also understand that getting this job is very important for those of you faced with this problem and that quick-fix solutions are on everybody’s minds and give short-term results if done properly. If you really want to crash diet, make sure you don’t do it for prolonged periods of time and definitely stabilise and resume a healthier rhythm as soon as you lost some of the extra kilograms. Best of luck and stay healthy!

India - The Land Of Contrast
India - The Land Of Contrast
Despite the terrifying statistics according to which about 77% of its inhabitants live on less than thirty rupees a day, India has a special glow, a special status today and an undeniably positive effect on everyone who ventures into discovering its true values. Yet, it is easy to fall in love with India; it is amazing and exasperating, captivating and enchanting. Significant heritage sights attract tourists from all over the world. Heads of state using private jets to attend local summits never fail to strike a pose sitting on the bench in front of the Taj Mahal, that same bench Princess Diana and many others, queens and kings briefly occupied to mark their presence for the paparazzi. Even the farmers from the smallest mountain villages in Switzerland know that the monument represents India.
India IS waking up to glory but l realise most of us are ignorant of the big past of the largest Englishspeaking nation in the world. DID YOU KNOW?.. India is the world's largest, oldest, continuous civilisation. India has never invaded any other country in its last 10.000 years of history. India is the world's largest democracy. Varanasi (Benares) is the oldest, continuously inhabited city in the world today. India invented the number system, zero was invented by Aryabhatta.
While in the immediate surroundings of this majestic building loos are replaced by bushes and locals seem to find it normal to naturally fertilise the fields, five star hotels offer surreal buffets dishing out Japanese sushis, french wines and rare single malts. These opposing backgrounds might cause raising eyebrows as the lavish luxury contrasts the squalor of the India many of us know so little about.

India - The Land Of Contrast
In 700BC the world's first university was established in India. More than 10.500 students from all over the world came to study more than 60 subjects.
Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India as early as 5.000 BCE. Chess was invented in India, called “shataranja”.
Sanskrit is the mother of many european languages and is the most suitable language for computer software, FORBES magazine reported in the late '80s. Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to people. Christopher Columbus was attracted by India's wealth, it was the richest country in the world until the British invasion in the 17th century. The art of navigation was born 6000 years ago in the Sindhu River. In Sanskrit “navgatih” means navigation. The time taken by the earth to orbit around the sun was calculated in the fifth century in India. In the sixth century, long before european mathematicians, the value of PI (Pythagorean Theorem) was calculated by Budhayana.
2.600 years ago, complicated surgeries where conducted in India like caesarean, cataract, artificial limbs, fractures, even brain and plastic surgery. Usage of anaesthesia was well known in ancient India. The four religions born in India: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, are followed by 25 percent of the world's population. The decimal system was developed in India 100 years BC. India is one of the few countries in the world , which gained independence without violence. India has the second largest pool of scientists and engineers in the world. It is impossible to remain untouched by India, the global superpower that deserves to be rediscovered. Article by Monica F.

Recommended Movie - City Of Life 2009
Recommended Movie
City Of Life - 2009 Whether you’re cabin crew or not, this is an interesting film about Life in Dubai. Following the lives of 2 cabin crew, a rich bachelor, a talented taxi driver, two local Emirates men and a silent Nepali on a bike, this film has a good ending and a surprising twist!
PLAY MOVIE
Storyline - A privileged young male Arab at odds with his cultural identity and his less fortunate street smart friend; a disillusioned Indian taxi driver who bears an uncanny resemblance to a famous Bollywood star; and a former Romanian ballet dancer now working as a flight attendant and searching for love and companionship ... these individuals all live in Dubai and their lives are about to collide for better or for worse in a city where ambition, growth and opportunity are encouraged and dreams can still manifest. "City of Life" is an urban drama that tracks the various intersections of a multi-ethnic cast, examining how random interactions and their consequences can irrevocably impact another's life. As the name suggests, City of Life's inordinately humane kaleidoscope of converging experiences introduces a city that is in itself a living pulsating character. "City of Life" ultimately reveals how unexpected tragedy and loss can lead to hope and profound transformation as it explores and exposes the complex network that exists in an emerging multi cultural society's race, ethnicity and class divide.
