This is Not for the Cry Babies
I get it, some of you might read this and think, “the standards are too high” or shout “discrimination.” Well, this post isn’t for you. It’s for those who are determined, those who have big dreams and are willing to do whatever it takes to exceed the standards and make their PAL cabin crew dreams come true. This isn’t for the losers; it’s for the winners. It’s for those who won’t give up until they achieve their dreams. This is for the positive thinkers, not the cry babies who just spread negativity and bitterness. This is for the go-getters, not the complainers who just sit and rant while others are busting their butts to meet the standards.
To help you during this PAL flight attendant hiring period, you might want to read this.
So, to all you cabin crew hopefuls who are eager to make your PAL cabin crew dreams a reality, best of luck to you. Keep the right attitude and mindset. Keep pushing, learn from your mistakes, and get better with every try.
Can’t wait to see you rocking that PAL cabin crew uniform soon!
