Hey Colton, I would really like to be a flight attendant at air Canada. However I only speak English. will this prevent me from being hired? Do you need to be bi lingual? also Do flight attendants choose to work where they live or do you get randomly assigned a location within Canada if you pass training? Thanks!!!!!!! 😊

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

Hello! It is very rare for unilinguals to be hired nowadays, so learning a second language will make you a competitive applicatant for sure. I have heard of unilingual positions offered every now and then but I have never actually seen one! You apply to the company and usually give a preference of which base you’d like. But it’s never a guarantee. So you may very well want Toronto base, but end up getting Vancouver. Hope this information helps :)

@Teddy-rh8vl 2 года назад

Is there any max age limit ? For example, Emirates hires upto age of 28-31 or something. I'm kind of curious now.

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

Hello! I don’t believe there is an official age limit for Air Canada. I had several people in my training class who were older. The oldest one in my group was 55.

Air Canada really sucks. I wonder who would apply for a job in such a terrible company Air Canada lost my luggage in LAX. I went to Air Canada Baggage claim and filed a loss luggage report. The Air Canada employee (He and she claimed their name were Albert and Monica. All employees in the office flip their name tags inside out on purpose to hide their identities) asked me for the baggage tag stickers. I put all the baggage stickers on the last page of the passport. Albert accused me of tampering my passport. Then, he started to threaten me that it is a felony to tamper a passport. I replied to Albert, "mind your own business? I am here to report my lost luggage". Then, Albert got really upset. I started to record his behaviour over my cell phone. Albert got more upset. He called the Airport security and started to falsely accuse me of making threats to him. He requested the Airport security to send its swat team to Air Canada's office. In less than 10 minutes, a swat team came. I calmly showed the video to the swat team leader. The swat team leader apologized to me that the situation had escalated. Speaking of abusing power. Air Canada makes threats to customers who question their authority. When the customers did not comply with their undesirable demands, Air Canada called the LAX security hotline to get rid of those customers. It is similar to how a bar used their bouncers to get rid of their customers.

Is there height requirement to become air Canada flight attendant for women? I need an answer for this question pls.

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

Hello! No, there is no height requirement but you do have to be able to reach a certain height. I don’t know what it is, unfortunately, since they don’t tell you and you just reach up and they tell you if you pass or not. But I do know that people who have been 5 feet tall and 5’2” have been able to pass the reach test

@abovethecloudswithanna8905 2 года назад

Hi Colton, Can you describe the language test process. Thank you

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

It is a bit different for everyone, since it depends on who is calling you. They tend to ask different questions to different people. I’ve asked people in the past what they were asked and my testing was never the same. I can tell you that it will likely be a phone call language test. They may ask about you or ask about scenarios on the plane.. it really depends!

@abovethecloudswithanna8905 2 года назад

Yes, they called me today so my language test is tomorrow via the phone. Just wanted to know what to expect

@esraarakem7744 2 года назад

Hey Colten! I'm in grade 11 and I'm planning to pursue becoming a flight attendant, I am asking what flight school do you need to attend to become a flight attendant?

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

Hello, that’s great! And you don’t need to pursue flight school to become a flight attendant (at least not in Canada). I didn’t go to one, and I would say 95% of flight attendants didn’t go to one either. There are programs out there, but they are not necessary. I would say just try and apply to become one right after you’re done high school and see if you can get a job.

@KungFuKobe 2 года назад

If the base is somewhere else does the company help with or cover the stay in that city?

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

If you are training at a base other than what you have been assigned then the company will cover the accommodations except for food. But whatever base you will be working out of, it is the individual’s responsibility to find a place and pay for it.

I just received an online interview answering questions for Air Canada I just applied on a whim now it’s asking me for a personality test in the second part of the interview I guess they changed the interviewing process do to covid... I have a question for you! Does Air Canada allow its flight attendants to have tattoos? I have several tattoos on my arms wrist and finger and I was trying to see if that’s a no go before I get more into it this is also for the Toronto location! Thank you☺️

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

Hello! Yes, you are allowed to have tattoos but they will have to be covered up. You can cover it through certain uniform pieces such as the sweater or blazer or you can wear short sleeves but will have to use make-up or whatever other coverage items you use.

Hi Lucas, can i know if they asked you to take the appointment on the spot the same day as the group interview, or they made you wait after the interview? I did the group interview today and was told that they would contact me for the next steps, but there was another lady who already had experience in the industry, she was asked to take an appointment for the medicals. That means i was rejected? If they could only tell me that there on the spot so i could start looking for other jobs.

Hello Colton！ This is Clark Li, I love your videos very much. I am a new immigrant to Canada and I just received an e-offer from Air Canada here in Montreal, Bilingual Customer Experience Specialist and I am wondering if I can apply for flight attendant after one or two years？ Beside English and French, I also speak Japanese and a little Spanish too. My mother tongue is Mandarine Chinese. Thank you very much!

@enchanterastralASMR Год назад

Hello! Congratulations on your offer! You may need to speak with an Air Canada representative about the possibilities. It’s been a few years since I was in the aviation industry and I’m not sure what has changed. When I was last working there in 2019, you couldn’t apply to be a flight attendant with Air Canada mainline unless you had your Canadian citizenship. You may be able to apply for Air Canada Jazz with a permanent residency but I’m not sure. Definitely reach out and ask them to be sure 🙂

Hello ! I was wondering is relocalisation is mandatory? If Im based in Montreal would I have to move to Toronto eventuality ?

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

Hello! If you currently live in Montréal and they only offer you Toronto base then you can either take the job and move to Toronto or you can try and commute from Montreal by flying in (usually people who commute in have a crash pad - a room to rent where they can stay if they are on reserve or can’t make it back after a shift, etc). If you still want to live in Montréal and be based out of Montréal then you can put in a request to transfer, but it could take a while just based on needs and if someone from Montréal wants to transfer to Toronto (usually it’s hard to get Montréal base but the pandemic may have changed that, I’m not sure).

@enchanterastralASMR 3 года назад

With Air Canada mainline you will fly both domestic and international. They don’t keep those separate. You could get international flights when you first start out and are on reserve or you could get them if you are senior enough in the company to bid for and get those flights.

@enchanterastralASMR 3 года назад

In terms of English, they want you to have a proficient level (at Air Canada mainline they grade your level from 1-4). You can be hired with a level 3 in English, but nothing lower. They would do a language test with you to determine your level. As long as you speak English to a level 3 (upper intermediate level, I would say) then any languages on top of that are a bonus (provided they are on the list of accepted languages/languages they are in need of)

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

I’m not too familiar with work permits and how they relate to job eligibility with Canadian airlines. I think the best option for you would be to contact someone from Air Canada and inquire about the possibilities. I believe under the job descriptions for Jazz it says either Canadian citizen or permanent resident. And for Air Canada mainline, I think it’s just Canadian citizen. But it doesn’t mention anything about work permits. Definitely get in contact with someone from the company to make sure.

It is like 32 hours guaranteed of pay or like 5 days of work-2days off-5 days of work ? Also when you’re working and you’re in another place than your base or home, Is the company paying for your hotel and food ? Thank you so much !!

@enchanterastralASMR 2 года назад

Hello! I’m glad that my videos were able to help. The schedule varies a lot, so there isn’t usually an average amount of hours you work in a week. You are guaranteed 75 flight hours per month and anything you work over that, you will get paid for it. You could work 4 days on one week and 3 days off or you could work 1 day on, 2 days off, then 3 days on, or you could work 6 days on and 3 days off. It really just depends. If you are on call for 5 days straight you might not even get called for all of those days. That’s why they have a 75 hour guarantee for each month. It works very differently than à mon-fri, 9-5 job so it can be difficult to explain. And while you are away from base, the company pays for your accommodation but not your food (you do get per diems while you are away from base but you only get that money on your next pay check and not at the time of your layover).
