What It Takes To Be A First Class Flight Attendant For Emirates

Correction: The video incorrectly states the number of crew member applicants a year. Emirates receives approximately 144,000 applicants a year. The video incorrectly states that only veteran and first class attendants get to staff events. Any level Cabin Crew can staff events, not just limited to first class or veteran crew. Insider regrets the errors.
Emirates Airline has over 20,000 flight attendants in their cabin crew. We spoke with Siti Nurazlin to see what it's like to be a first-class flight attendant for the luxury airline.

When I trained to become an SAS cabin crew, one of my fellow crew students went to work for Emirates before applying for SAS.

So he quit after 6 month and moved back to Copenhagen. I think he is a pilot today.

[@POV00005]

Not only is the service impeccable but the plane is spacious. It felt as though we were gliding through mid air. ❤

[@Mboheiogrl]

To the people saying 32k a year is meh: That's for an entry level job that only requires a highschool diploma, speaking English, and some customer service experience (plus the physical stuff like height and overall health). You pay no income tax, no rent, no bills, no transportation to the airport. You also get a per diem in cash whenever you stay out of base (4/6 times a month) which ranges from around $40 to $120, depending on the destination. You get unlimited flights at 90% off. Most crew come from countries where the annual salary doesn't even reach 5k a year. Yeah, Dubai is expensive buy if you live frugally and make the most of the perks (say, buy some of your groceries in a cheaper country when you're on a work trip), you can save a big chunk of your salary. And in comparison, most airlines in Europe pay less than 15k a year. On the flip side, the job is extremely demanding physically and, ultimately, mentally, and the company culture is a whoooooole thing altogether (there's plenty of info online). Also, the flashy events are only for the "business promotion" crew, a select group of pretty people that goes through another selection process. Source: I used to be cabin crew for them. PS: this is all pre-pandemic. I'm absolutely sure the post-pandemic new hires will have much worse contracts.

Requirements for men: shave their face. Requirements for women: shave their legs, wax her face, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick, foundation, manicure, short skirt, high heels. That needs to stop, it's not only time and money consuming but also very uncomfortable.

[@meadow9921]

THIS. Woman should be able to freely express themselves while working but still get the job done. I think the only requirements should only be uniform and some makeup. It doesn’t matter if they are wearing pants, a skirt or anything else, as long as they’re recognizable for which company they belong to and appropriate, they can wear anything. As much as I support feminism, I’ve seen a lot of men being shamed for being a flight attendant. (Men are just as qualified for the job as a woman!) Jobs like being a flight attendant should be normalized for each sex and should be as equal as possible.

Calm down. None of what you said...was a requirement. Natural make-up with the red lipstick, no hanging jewelery for obvious reasons, and they got to change into flats on the flight. If they hated it or were against any of it...I bet they wouldn't work so hard to get there.

[@runderdfrech3560]

+SOFIA VELOSO. I think men should have to wear some makeup too, of course not as strong as the woman but at least foundation, eyebrows and mascara - that doesn't make them look female.

But I don't think I could handle the actual day-to-day life stress that is not shown in videos like these: A$$hole customers, turbulence to the point that it affects your work up in the sky, being on a very short notice for departures, not getting all the goody-goody luxury flights at once but instead flying within the country serving standard/economy with no extra benefits, etc etc. I do get that you gotta work your way up but it's basically a life(style) commitment :D
