Bless you, this was so nostalgic! I was Gatwick crew as well. I used to hate briefings 🤣 but when they changed it to a group discussion it was like a huge weight lifted off our shoulders, although sometimes you’d get a cm who asked you questions 🙈. Gatwick was amazing though, like a little family xxx
That what I loved that got an insight into a career that I hadn't thought about before. Live for how honest Lucida was bringing the benefits and the negatives alongside the reality of being part of cabin crew! 💜
Honestly the turbulence part is so true , I would be so scared before and then you realise the plane is able to withstand SO much after 1000 x flights 🤣 Regardless best year of my life as I can never revisit the cockpit again and once you get the flying bug, it will never leave you 💕
@@charleskristiansson1296 That's true, but I don't think many jobs are what they once were, they certainly haven't skimped with the recruitment procedure, very stringent six week training course so this is the last week, we,ll pop down to London and see her get her wings.
I used to fly with 2 airlines and also got a job with BA and this video is spot on!🤣🤣🤣when you said literally this is my first flight, like literally🤣 , I knew exactly what you mean haha the WHOLE video is literally one of the best for information for Cabin crew as your spot on for all of it from beginning to end haha 🥰🥰🥰🥰✈️
I appreciate cabin crew! I flew with jet 2 honestly they were AMAZING! Considering it was my first flight to! She kept coming back to see if I was ok as I suffer with panic attacks and anxiety. She said she gave me a vodka and then come back within 10 minutes and i was asleep🤣 funny. I salute them honestly. They risk their lives to save others and they’re so lovely. ❤️ Everyone has pros and cons in jobs that’s normal ❤️
I think it's a shame BA did away with the CSD. There seemed to be the idea that the CSD sat around during the flight, doing random nothing. So not the case!
Cabin crew is a fancy job - my classmate's dad was a pilot and his mum was cabin crew!! :) I could be if I don't get airsick easily.

Hi I’ve just applied for BA cabin crew! I am awaiting to hear. Hoping to be successful, I am 36 but I decided now my children are grown I would love to embark on my career. I am Scottish but would be based in Heathrow so it would be a commute for shifts but don’t want it to deter me
@@Chalize yes I did, I’m currently going through the employment checks etc it’s so stressful honestly.

One my references that I done a lot of just voluntary work for to help him when starting out and was to expand my skillset. He’s completed it and returned it so that’s one down. Fingers crossed 🤞 I have to send my licence but it has on it my property address I own with my husband, I am now at another address but it’s not a permanent address until my house sells so it’s stressful. I’m praying everything goes ok.
@@RhododendronRevamping hi London heathrow mainline long distance. Unfortunately due to the agency who does the checks emailed me and said it was complete then BA called said they hadn’t received it so I have been waiting for almost 1 year now. I’ve spent so much money as I’m Scotland and I’m afraid all the checks I’ve had done will require redone, the one thing holding them up is because I’ve gap in my employment as I said to them I’m a mother of an autistic child there were times I would have to be present. They then asked gap references about benefits?! I was so angry this isn’t a thing you discuss with anyone it’s private like your salary etc. i have a disable child so yes I get benefits but all they said is we wouldn’t know that, so they refused to accept that and wanted another gap that would know. I’m at my wits end with it now. I’ve put so much time and energy into going back and forth to London to crewe for testing out of my own pocket and they are stuck on was I receiving benefits when I was off being a mother. Sorry for ranting there but I’m so frustrated and confused why that would be any different if I was a mother who had no 5 years of HMRC data I have just some gaps. I wish I had applied a few years ago as I was in 2 jobs 8 years then 7 wouldn’t been a problem. I have yet to get to the 6 week training never mind to the skies. I’m just wondering if it is worthwhile now.
10:29 I think this is a good thing because it prepares you for what you will sometimes have to face. This video has really helped me and inspired me so thank you x
From the thumbnail i thought that the red of the hoodie was a blazer and the yellow face was a life jacket🤣 i was ready for a demo!!! Love you so much, you’re hilarious xx
I passed the online assessment centre and I start training soon. I’m also 19 year old and im SHOCKED that I even passed. I didn’t know the answer to any of questions, i completely waffled. My answers were only around 30-45 seconds long and I have no work experience. I heard training is quite stressful and intense. Do they test you on swimming because I suck at it ??
@@gemmamahonx6442 It was an online assessment so I had a roleplay and final interview with British Airways. About 2-3 days after the assessment they got back to me and said I’ll hear back from them shortly with a start date. It’s coming up to 4 weeks now and I still haven’t heard anything back from them about the start date😬
@@joeyjohn5277 The roleplay was customer service based, so I was an employee in a game store (lazer tag, paintball, escape room etc). A customer came in for her allocated time slot however, there was a technical problem so the activity she booked was unavailable. I had resolve the problem and satisfy the customer. (I can’t remember what I exactly said but something along the lines of explaining the situation, offering her a different activity and giving her a discount). The interview was almost 3 months ago, so I can’t remember all the questions. But about 3 out of the 6 questions were to do with BA’s culture. I think one of the questions were “Tell me a time where you have been culturally aware?” There were 2 more culture related questions but I can’t remember. But yeah, there were about 6 questions in total, I can’t remember them word for word but a few of the other questions were along these lines of; - “What do you know about the role?” - “Tell me about yourself?” -work, school ect - Can’t remember the question but it was Customer Service experience related (which I don’t have lol, had to link it to school) But overall the questions were a lot easier than I expected. The culture questions caught me off guard but overall it wasn’t too difficult. It was also my first ever interview so my answers were pretty short and I did waffle my way through most of them. But I do think the end saved me as I asked about 10 questions, made sure I sounded confident throughout the whole interview and smiled my way throughout the entire interview (even tho I was 💩 myself hahah). I hope this helped and I wish you luck! 🍀 P.S. confidence and smiling is key !!!
@@silverharford6118 ah thank you. It’s a big help. I hope my interview doesn’t get cancelled again. I hope you had a good time in the air so far. Let’s see I may meet you if all goes well.
Ur literally LITERALLY living my dream i would kill KILL to get this job specifically in British Airways 😢imagine living in the uk AND working as a cabin crew and flying the world
I’ve got my assessment centre thing in 2 weeks but it’s all online now … I’m a bit worried for the role play / presentation stuff , do you have any tips ? X
We are on the same page 😖! Mine is in 2 weeks too, and I’m like freaking out lol I know all of them we want to do our best! I wish you all the best to be honest. 💕✈️ you will do awesome!
I don't see much difference between being a waiter and cabin crew. The waiter serves in a restaurant and the cabin crew serves in a plane. Both jobs serve food, drinks and doing the cleaning etc
Might be a silly question but when you do a “6 day” or “3 day” etc.. do you only get paid for the time you’re on the flight or also time you’re out of the flight on the trip?
I flew for Emirates and we were given a cash allowance for food, the more days you stayed, the more the allowance was. For example if you did a 24 hour layover in the UK you’d get around £50-£60 depending on the hotel, location and timing. Now the allowance is given in their salary. I’d assume BA is similar.
Yes you have to live in Dubai as they’re a Dubai based airline but it just makes the job even better as you’re closer to places like Asia and Australia if you want to travel on your time off and your days off are spent in the sun, you’ve always got something to do. Europe destinations are layovers unlike UK airlines where you turnaround. Most of the turnarounds in Emirates aren’t really places that most people would want to see anyway, I.e pakistan/Saudi Arabia/Afghanistan etc etc. UK flights are also really easy to swap on to because nobody wants them. I used to do 1-2 flights a month to Manchester to see my mum. I left Emirates a couple of years ago because of covid, however I was leaving anyway due to having a baby but I still live in Dubai and honestly I would never move back to the UK unless I really had to. Best decision I ever made working for Emirates. Hope that gives you some insight as I know moving to another country is really daunting.
Wanna ask the reporting duty location for every flight. I only know the flight is departed in terminal 5. And training is taken place at the global learning academy building. And any shuttle transportation provided by the company for reporting duty between global academy learning building, report duty building and the terminal 5?
See how you said you had a boyfriend the entire time you did it. My girl's joining BA cabin crew, I know you touched on it in the video but, is it tough to keep the relationship going in this kind of job?
Ma'am I have cleared the online assessment of British Airways.Now to the assessment round.I have teeth braces.It will take a few span of time to be removed off.So if I make a visit to the assessment location will I be rejected for this reason?
Airlines get the cabin crew positioning wrong. It should be the senior one who has the more difficult positions, as they are more qualified and experienced to deal with the trails and tribulations that may come, whilst the juniors should have easier positions to manage and where less things go wrong, as they will be more error prone.
Not sure if I can be of any help but I passed my assessment day, and wanted to share some advice. From what I can tell, there is a fair amount of luck involved. You can do everything perfectly, and still fail. With only so many positions, they can only have so many people being hired. This is why it’s important to keep trying even after failure. I’m not sure if you are referring to the online assessment or the in person one, but I will assume you are referring to the in person assessment. BA are extremely strict about standards, so was your outfit professional? Did you have any mishaps with your hair, clothes or shoes that could have been noticed? How did you engage with the other people in the assessment with you? Building rapport is important for crew, so this is what they look out for. If you are observant during the day, you will notice the staff keeping an eye on you and others, which I believe they are taking notes on your conduct, appearance, and sociability at that time. Were you socialising with everyone in your team and still looking perfect? During the assessment tests, did you try to show your skills in the team? Even recognising other people’s great ideas goes a long way. Regardless of the answer your team comes up with, they are taking notes to see if you are helping others, commending their ideas, or being confident, throwing the first line for the rest of the team to add to. They look for good teamwork qualities, so think about how you can show this. Maybe a good idea is reminding everyone in your group when you have two minutes left and that you need to come up with an answer to present (check your watch, not a phone for the time). During the rapid fire questioning, we’re you completely honest about your experience? I’m sure they are able to tell if someone is honest or lying. I’m not saying you did, but some people will lie to get ahead, and I’m sure they notice this. During these questions too, did you have good experience to tell them about? They want to hear about your proven abilities in certain scenario’s, so perhaps during this time before your next try, you can get into a career that is similar and gain experience? I came from the hotel industry, which has a few transferable skills. During the questions as well, were you smiling? They want to see that you can stay composed during pressured situations. Passengers look to you for reassurance, so if you are looking nervous during the interview, how will you handle a real crisis? When given the chance to ask questions, did you ask anything meaningful? They want people who ask the important questions that show you have thought meaningfully about the role. They want people who will be excited about moving up and building a career after all. This is all anecdotal, as it was based on my experience and I can’t provide concrete answers. Tests change as well, so don’t assume my experience will be the same as yours, even though I haven’t provided specific examples of the tests I went through. I hope this advice helps you next time around though! Just keep at it, and if you’re dedicated, you’ll manage it! P.S. even if you’re an introvert, be bubbly. It comes with experience, but meeting the people on the assessment day is nice. It’s the first taste of crew life you get, so savour it! Engaging with everyone will help calm your nerves too. Just don’t relax too much, you want to be at your best, especially with all those eyes on you! Good luck for next year!!
Hi lucinda strafford have you ever been asked out when your up in the air. Have you tried putting your tights in the freezer for 30sec so you don't get a ladder in them
I'm Australian but hoping to join and work for BA as a cabin crew in abt 4 years. Would they accept me being that I'm from down under? and ofc I know would have to relocate to the UK which I'd happily do
Hey Ma'am.I have been invited for the virtual assessment day.Will you able to say some of the important tips to be taken care off as well as ,as I am an Indian what all documents to be carried
I don’t think you need GCSEs but try and get some experience in a customer facing role or try applying for a travel and tourism course at college, then try applying to budget airlines like easyjet or Ryanair, there might be a better chance with them but good luck and no harm in giving it a try applying to British airways!
It's iconic how everyone working in airlines are nice, polite and respectful to each other than people working in office
Pilots aren’t that nice

It should be the senior one who has the more difficult positions, as they are more qualified and experienced to deal with the trails and tribulations that may come, whilst the juniors should have easier positions to manage and where less things go wrong, as they will be more error prone.
Do you have to lift weights as part of your training?

Hi I'm curious to know since I live in Birmingham,would BA pay for my transport from my home to Heathrow airport and vice versa?
Spoke to new air hostess at BA she said her salary starting is £38,000 per annum. I didn’t really believe that but is that true?
Omg sounds amazing
What size did you get your hoodie! I love 💖

Orange.
What your base was? I applied for gatwick and didn’t know that flights don’t go out of europe. Is short haul as long haul?
Hi yesterday I failed the assessment day I don’t know what I did wrong can you give me any tips for that ?
Not sure if I can be of any help but I passed my assessment day, and wanted to share some advice.
From what I can tell, there is a fair amount of luck involved. You can do everything perfectly, and still fail. With only so many positions, they can only have so many people being hired. This is why it’s important to keep trying even after failure.
I’m not sure if you are referring to the online assessment or the in person one, but I will assume you are referring to the in person assessment.
BA are extremely strict about standards, so was your outfit professional? Did you have any mishaps with your hair, clothes or shoes that could have been noticed?
How did you engage with the other people in the assessment with you? Building rapport is important for crew, so this is what they look out for. If you are observant during the day, you will notice the staff keeping an eye on you and others, which I believe they are taking notes on your conduct, appearance, and sociability at that time. Were you socialising with everyone in your team and still looking perfect?
During the assessment tests, did you try to show your skills in the team? Even recognising other people’s great ideas goes a long way. Regardless of the answer your team comes up with, they are taking notes to see if you are helping others, commending their ideas, or being confident, throwing the first line for the rest of the team to add to. They look for good teamwork qualities, so think about how you can show this. Maybe a good idea is reminding everyone in your group when you have two minutes left and that you need to come up with an answer to present (check your watch, not a phone for the time).
During the rapid fire questioning, we’re you completely honest about your experience? I’m sure they are able to tell if someone is honest or lying. I’m not saying you did, but some people will lie to get ahead, and I’m sure they notice this. During these questions too, did you have good experience to tell them about? They want to hear about your proven abilities in certain scenario’s, so perhaps during this time before your next try, you can get into a career that is similar and gain experience? I came from the hotel industry, which has a few transferable skills.
During the questions as well, were you smiling? They want to see that you can stay composed during pressured situations. Passengers look to you for reassurance, so if you are looking nervous during the interview, how will you handle a real crisis?
When given the chance to ask questions, did you ask anything meaningful? They want people who ask the important questions that show you have thought meaningfully about the role. They want people who will be excited about moving up and building a career after all.
This is all anecdotal, as it was based on my experience and I can’t provide concrete answers. Tests change as well, so don’t assume my experience will be the same as yours, even though I haven’t provided specific examples of the tests I went through. I hope this advice helps you next time around though! Just keep at it, and if you’re dedicated, you’ll manage it!
P.S. even if you’re an introvert, be bubbly. It comes with experience, but meeting the people on the assessment day is nice. It’s the first taste of crew life you get, so savour it! Engaging with everyone will help calm your nerves too. Just don’t relax too much, you want to be at your best, especially with all those eyes on you! Good luck for next year!!

Hi lucinda, what course do I need to take to become cabin Crew ?

I'm Australian but hoping to join and work for BA as a cabin crew in abt 4 years. Would they accept me being that I'm from down under? and ofc I know would have to relocate to the UK which I'd happily do
Hey Ma'am.I have been invited for the virtual assessment day.Will you able to say some of the important tips to be taken care off as well as ,as I am an Indian what all documents to be carried
i would love to do this but i have no gcse or work experience but i'm so confident and bubbly ugh
I don’t think you need GCSEs but try and get some experience in a customer facing role or try applying for a travel and tourism course at college, then try applying to budget airlines like easyjet or Ryanair, there might be a better chance with them but good luck and no harm in giving it a try applying to British airways!
