Aer Lingus Cabin Crew Recruitment 2020-22

I still haven't heard anything back, doesn't seem too hopeful if they're already interviewing but I thought they would have at least sent a rejection email? Has anyone else heard nothing?

I haven’t heard anything either but I applied last year too, I send my video interview in last November and then I got my rejection email in February. It’s such a long process and even longer to get a rejection email. I’m still hanging on to a bit of hope that we still might hear. To everyone that has or still is waiting for there interview good luck

thanks marshallmallow for your input!
hopefully you will be flying in a green uniform soon :’)
I didn’t receive any reply so far.
my guess is that they keep the ones who aren’t either fantastic or terrible in this kind of limbo...
if they need more people they can call you anytime for an interview.
otherwise...
nevertheless, as I said, it’s just a guess...

To be honest I'm not too hopeful - it's constantly on my mind and I'm questioning everything I said during the interview and I feel like I phrased things wrong and nerves got the best of me etc etc. But I guess at this point there's nothing I can do other than wait (which by the looks of it could be months?)
But I really do hope ye hear something soon, fingers crossed! Don't lose hope just yet, you never know

I only got the call about a week before the interview so there is definitely still hope!!

I totally understand.
It’s not easy to stay calm and collected when we want something so badly!
It’s easier said than done, but try to detach yourself from it.
It’s done, just remain positive

And the same advice goes to you, don’t lose hope just yet!

dae1996 · 29-11-2019 4:59pm

Hi I just got a rejection email this afternoon , all the best to everyone :)congratulations to who has got it

popers98 · 04-12-2019 7:47pm

Has anyone heard yet?

Sir Galahad · 07-12-2019 4:22pm

You have to wonder what exactly they are looking for. I'm familiar with an applicant that has a medical qualification is the right height & weight and has lots of sales experience and has a second language. Yet they have been sent a decline email. Last year they recruited from Madrid as well and my friend (Cabin Crew) tells me that some of them have been a disaster. It would be so helpful if they would let candidates know where they fall down in the process but the out sourcing of the process appears to be problematic.

This thread has gone very quiet. What happened to everyone ?

lilac.sky · 07-01-2020 4:53pm

I’m still waiting for an answer...
Congrats to all who made it!!

popers98 · 13-01-2020 1:34pm

Does anyone know what’s involved in the Medical?

suzycat · 13-01-2020 7:43pm

I got an email from them today. They're having problems getting in touch with some of my past employers for the background checks! It's such a long process.

Also I have a medical on the 21st of January.

Does anybody know how they work the roster for cabin crew? What are the hours like??

You normally tell them where you'd like to fly to and then they roster you. Make sure to tell them you like time off as well :rolleyes:. Seriously ? ? You got to this stage in the process ? And you don't know "what the hours are like" ?

Enjoy the 4 AM briefing in T2 on a cold winter morning :rolleyes::rolleyes: I hope you can come back and tell me this was a joke.

So legally cabin crew in Europe can work a max of 900 hours per year, this is time actually onboard an active flight. It doesn’t include duty hours before a flight or on turnaround. Aer Lingus cabin crew regularly work every legal hour in a year. So you’ll likely fly 900 hours or close to it.
The roster is flexible, so you could work 6 days one week and 4 days the following week, you could have random single days off or a couple days off together. You can bid for certain flights and certain days off if you need them. I think this is based on seniority so when you’re new in the company you can expect to be the bottom of the pecking order. Duty days can easily be 10/12 hour days doing either 2/3 or 4 flights in a day.
Obviously when you start long haul it’s different

lilac.sky · 18-01-2020 1:09pm

Hey!

does anybody knows how many people each training group has?
and/or how many people they are recruiting this year?
thank you!

Tenger · 18-01-2020 2:58pm

From memory and from recollections from some EI mates each training group is maybe 12-16.

No idea how many being recruited.
It was said to me that over the last 3 years they gave taken in 200-300 new entrants each summer.
Some get asked to return the following summer.

Sir Galahad · 18-01-2020 5:40pm

Apparently the current story is that a large group of previously trained (other airlines) people have been hired.

lilac.sky · 18-01-2020 6:09pm

Thank you to both!
I believe this year they are recruiting more.
But it’s only a guess...

Apparently fuel quantity issues with new craft mean certain proposed routes cant go ahead. So not all the expected recruitment will be going ahead. Sounds just like last year. :rolleyes:

suzycat · 18-01-2020 8:44pm

Apparently alot of ex Norwegian staff have been recruited for the long haul flights

How do you know? Do you work for Aer Lingus that you have inside information? I haven’t seen anything about this anywhere?

goingnowhere · 19-01-2020 10:02am

More to do with delays in delivery

https://www.irishtimes.com/business/transport-and-tourism/delays-in-airbus-aircraft-delivery-slowing-aer-lingus-expansion-says-chief-1.4046875

Aer Lingus has two of the new A321s in service and is expecting six more, but the delivery of five of those has been put back to between February and December 2020, when they should have begun arriving this year.
Mr Walsh pointed out that craft would arrive after the peak summer period, instead of before, when the airline would ideally want to receive them.

SLR9000 · 23-01-2020 4:20pm

Has anyone heard anything more about start times etc? I'm due to start on 10th of Feb but haven't heard anything more about uniform fitting or start time of training on that day.

popers98 · 23-01-2020 7:40pm

A lot of those who have been recruited are ex Norwegian staff and they will be but into TA flights straight away.

Does anyone know how much you get paid for the training?

Feb10th is supposed to be the first day of the new uniform

Like with everything now, EI squeeze max productivity and efficiency from staff and assets, they run 2 classes per day, one starts at 6/7 am until about 1pm then a second class from 1.30/2pm that afternoon until 8/8.30pm.
Essentially and “earies” and a “lates” class run at the same time

For those of you who still wish to be Cabin Crew, i got this advertisement for TUI DUBLIN based cabin crew for the summer

Requirements:

There are some specific physical and logistical requirements for the role, to ensure that you can safely serve our customers on-board.

Regulatory requirements state that Cabin Crew need to:

Be able to move freely, forward facing down the aisle and pass through all aircraft emergency exits without assistance
Be able to position yourself in to a restricted space at the aircraft door without blocking the evacuation path
Be able to strap yourself in to a crew seat using a seat belt with a full over the shoulder harness
(The above will be tested during training.)

Be able to reach the overhead compartments with a minimum 6’2” reach (not height) without shoes
Be assessed as ‘fit to operate as crew’ by a suitably qualified Aero-Medical Examiner
Be able to obtain a valid UK DBS Check/Police Certificate (or Irish equivalent for Dublin) and EASA Medical Certificate prior to starting training
Provide verifiable references that cover a full 5-year period and be able to obtain any Overseas Criminal Record Checks for all countries where you have resided for 6 continuous months or more in the previous 5 years prior to starting training.

In addition, it’s important you are confident you can get from your home address to the crew room in 90 minutes or less. In practice, depending on the airport base, this may mean you need to live closer than 90 minutes to include both local and peak traffic conditions, parking and any travel time from staff car parks to the crew room.

I guess more details should be available on their website

Actually a very good company to work for, one of the better airlines

Has anyone that attended the recruitment day for nobox on the 22nd of January in Madrid gotten news yet or anyone after that date in a different location?

popers98 · 02-03-2020 11:20am

Hi, has anyone gotten their contract yet? I got an email a couple of weeks ago to say it was being sent out soon and still haven’t received anything..

When are you due to start? I got mine a few days before I started. Maybe give them an email if you're getting worried. They're very helpful!

popers98 · 02-03-2020 9:10pm

Hey I’m due to start late April. I heard that they may be cancelling summer flights therefore some training groups may not go ahead.. I also can’t afford to wait until a few days beforehand as I have to hand in my resignation to my current job
