Cabin Crew - Dublin Based Airlines.

    Hello There,
    I am posting here because I am hoping to be cabin crew as this is the career that I want to go into.
    As far as I know the only airlines that have a Dublin base for Cabin Crew are Aer Lingus, Ryanair, Thomson and Cityjet.

    I actually went for Ryanair but couldn't accept the offer as I wasn't going to be based in Dublin or even in Ireland and this was a major inconvenience - I wasn't the only one who didn't accept it either for this reason...

    Also, does anyone have any idea when some of these airlines (Apart from Ryanair) hire? I heard Aer Lingus are hiring fairly soon?

    Thank you in advance :) x

    Stobart are also based in Dublin, no idea when/if they will be hiring.
    ASL Airlines also but they will only hire experienced cabin crew.
    Keeping an eye on their websites each week is a good idea, each Monday and Friday for example.

    For Aer Lingus I doubt they will be hiring soon, as it is the end of the Summer season. Perhaps they will be looking for applications after Christmas for training to start next March/April maybe. But thinking back to the last EI cabin crew thread that was for seasonal contacts. Judging by your posts in your last thread I think being let go after your 6 month contract was up might be inconvenient to you.

    Just to add, Thomson have a based aircraft in Dublin in the summer only, and that's normally as of late a Sunwing, crewed by Canadian crew.

    So basically if I applied and was successful , It would only be a seasonal contract? like 3 months or something?
    Thanks again for the reply!:)

    No more like 6-9 months, and if you are any good you'd be invited back again for the following season but this may mean having maybe around 4 months off in the winter

    Is it not April-October/Early November? 6 months on 6 months off?
