SIA to recruit & train intern cabin crew from polys

Posted: 10 January 2013 0943 hrs

 

SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines (SIA) is working closely with three polytechnics to recruit and train cabin crew, as part of efforts to attract the best talent.

 

It has special programmes with Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic and Temasek Polytechnic, covering recruitment activities.

 

It's also starting an internship-recruitment programme to hire and train selected students to become full-time cabin crew.

 

These are provided under Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) that the carrier signed with the three polytechnics on Thursday.

 

Besides recruitment, the MOUs also cover areas of potential cooperation such as curriculum development in service, operations, safety and security.

 

SIA will also work with the polytechnics on continued education programmes for cabin crew.

 

SIA employs about 7,500 cabin crew. New crew undergo an extensive 15-week training programme in areas such as service delivery, customer relations, deportment, security and safety.

They are just looking for waitresses to serve in airplanes. Simi talent?

I think it's part of their cost-cutting measures. It's cheaper to hire poly grades, lure them to sign up while they are still studying and be bonded for a few years. These students will not have any working experience to bargain for more decent starting pay.

 

Then once these grads are ready, SIA will have the option of not renewing the contracts of their existing cabin crews who are drawing higher salaries, forcing them to leave. At the end of the day, it's the bottom line of the company, though some people may think mei meis have cuter bottoms.

 

Just look at what they are doing to their pilots.

True... I know some SQ girls, they say SQ even have to go to recruit staff from China because there isn't enough locals who want to take up the job..

Lol, how often do you walk along the aisle?! I am more particular on the services and their attitude towards passengers. Even if they look like super model but if service attitude no good also no use.
