Many flight attendant aspirants have asked, “papasa ba ako ng flight attendant?” I typically respond with a question, “sinubukan mo na ba mag apply?” If their answer is “hindi”, I would then pose another question, “ano kaya sinabi ko sa iyo na hindi ka papasa, susubok ka pa ba?” This discussion is a reminder that questions without actions achieve nothing. The first step towards realizing your flight attendant ambition involves preparation and application. You’ll only know if you give it a shot.
A number of individuals might wonder, “Mond, I am reading your articles. I have prepared my resume. I now smile a lot. Isn’t this already the first step?” To clarify, here are the true initial stages that would bring your cabin crew dreams to life. The initial leap is to pledge commitment to becoming a cabin crew, no matter the circumstances.
Committing Yourself to the Flight Attendant Journey
The crucial starting point involves a commitment to become a cabin crew. This goes beyond self-affirmations such as “I will be a flight attendant no matter what”. Rather, it involves a dedication to transformation, accepting constructive criticism, persevering through rejections, striving to improve yourself, continuous practice, and enhancing your understanding about the role of a flight attendant, among others. Commitment entails action, which brings us to the second, more significant step.
Taking the Leap and Applying
Understanding your dream’s potential reality only happens when you step out into the world and apply to different airlines. A journey of a thousand miles commences with a few steps. You may wonder, “Mond, what are the airlines that are hiring? Papasa ba ako?” My response? Refer back to the first point. A part of this step involves figuring out for yourself which airlines are hiring. Airlines would post the schedule of their cabin crew recruitment days, and it’s your responsibility to make the effort to search for them. While I do offer assistance, 10% of the effort stems from us, but 90% originates from you. Fear of rejection should not hinder you; it’s a chance to learn and grow. Experience serves as the most potent teacher.
Moving Past the Dream Stage
The first step to become a flight attendant is paramount; without it, your cabin crew aspiration remains just that – a dream. Disregard any negativity others may project, the truth only emerges when you take action. You’ll only discover your potential when you try. So, step out and transform your cabin crew dream into reality. The first steps are fundamental. Believe me; they will fortify your determination to become a cabin crew, particularly if progress begins to echo along your path.
