Air Stewardesses
I didn't realise that being a Flight Attendent / Air Sterwardess is such as lusted-after job by many Thai girls.
I have a good mate who's an accountant (works for 1 of the big 4) in BKK and she's desperate to quit it and become an air hostess. I think she's a bit crazy, but she also says that it would take her 5 years auditing for this firm before she earned Air Hostess wages. Can anyone believe this?! Also, literally thousands of girls apply whenever an airline recruits.
Anyone else any experience of this???

Totally mate! My mate can't stop banging on about them, even though she's now been on a plane and can see that all they are is girls walking down the aisle serving whinging people! I just cant see why she's wanting to give up a career with great prospects for something as mundane as an air stewardess.

To quote a friend of mine, who had "extensive" experience, with flight attendants...5555 "Anyone, who'd shag a stwardess, is just TOO lazy, to wank off!" 5555
(who said that???)  tsk,tsk,tsk.

It must seem impossibly glamorous to them, and of course even Thai proffessionals are not that well travelled are they? So stopovers all over the world for free would be worth an awful lot, and an awful lot of 'face' too I would have thought.
I knew a girl who worked for Virgin, and my pal's wife is currently with Emirates. The perks are pretty good, particularly with Emirates, and it looks great on their CV. Also a good chance of bagging a pilot for a husband.

Of course its not and you cant compare it either. But its not only cabin crew, local tech crew are also poorly paid as well.

They are playing in a USD$ driven enviornment, parts, service, leases etc. Fuel cheap, I dont think so, they would be paying the same per litre as other carriers worldwide.

agree with you stevem,only thing is that thay pay in us$ when they are in other countries,whih means half of the flying routes,wich leaves half of their expences in thailand
. then I read other thread where some uk,us,or europ companies have better deals.they pay for their expences in us$ either inbound or outbound.
still don't get it though

Same Same as your country 40 years back
If you told people you work as a Flight Attendent / Air Sterwardess in europa
in the 60,s you was something
Every Girls Dream and how many at that time even could dream of taking a plane for hollyday etc or even ever fly with one.
Same in Thailand not so many have that opportunity,only upper clas and the very wealthy ones.
Its about dreams and status i think,same as old days back here

What currency are you talking about. If its £ sterling, no way, If its Qatari rials No way not £8k a month, and if its baht then thats about £720 per month, I don't think so.
