Air Hostess
or flight attendant or whatever you want to call it.
i'm just about to start my year 13, my AS levels didn't really go as well as i expected so am now considering some other options i could do.
Have been thinking about becoming an air hostess for a while but am not sure what the requirements are to become one. if any one knows anything would be a great help. Thanks x x

Depends on the airline but sometimes they specify that they want you to have a modern foreign language up to GCSE level or above. Dyeing your hair blonde will also help if you aren't blonde already. (Joking). I wanted to be a dancing doctoring air hostess when i was younger.

These requirements aren't applicable anymore as airlines are not able to discriminate againest people on these basis.
Airlines take a wide variety of people but the most important aspects are:
Safety awareness
Customer service
Ability to be firm yet polite
Dealing with difficult customers
Security
Languages are a benefit but not essential as you could just be doing internal flights. It depends on the airline as to benefits and working hours. Wages are nowhere near as good as they used to be and you need to have stamina as it can be knackering.

surely eyesight can be a factor - in many careers (such as pilot) you have to pass a medical.

25 metres swim? ****ing hell, if a plane crashes (in the sea) you're meant to trust people who can swim just 25 metres, going to go far in the atlantic ain't it.
I think in that situation, you're pretty much ****ed regardless of how far anyone can swim - the general 'being dead'ness tends to have an adverse effect on swimming abilities.
i think the 25metre thing is so that you can make it to a life radt and no more.
why would you even need to swim more that 25 metres anyway. its not like you are going to swim the entire north sea if your plane crashes. or are you?!
to be honest, easy on the eye air hostesses make everybodys life easier, and plus with Ryanair, they usually have the irish accent as well.
