Welcome back to this series Can I still be a flight attendant if ____?
Today's question that we are going to answer is: Can I still be a flight attendant if I am short?
If I am really short? If you want know the
answer to this question just keep on watching!
I get this question all the time ever since I started my vlog and the more when I started my YouTube videos
and I keep on answering the question again and again but then somehow I still
get the same question from all of you guys. Once and for all I hope that this
video will finally be able to answer the question to those future
viewers who haven't seen my previous anwers yet. Here I'm going to talk
about how can you become a flight attendant if you are short. What we
are talking about is somewhere like 5"ft, 4'11ft
First of all, I want to address the reason why airlines are looking for tall people to be a
flight attendant it is actually not because that you look good if you're taller
there are a lot of short people who are also good looking and it is not a reason,
it is not because they just wanted to and it is not a meaningless thing
There is a reason why they put this up on their requirements
The main reason for that is flight attendants are there in the
airplane mainly for safety reasons. Security and safety reasons. Your main
role there, the reason that you're there aside from doing the service, being
friendly and being good-looking is that in case of an emergency you will be the
one in charge. You are going to be the safety person. What you need to do
as a safety person, is you need to reach safety equipments that are placed in the
airplane and these safety equipments are not always put down. Because
you need a lot of space when you are in an airplane.
Some and most of the equipments are put up not just the overhead bins but
there are places over the galley or the kitchen area or over the passengers area
where some of the equipments are put really high up. They need to have
people who will be able to reach them right away in case of an emergency. That is
the reason why the airlines are requiring people with a certain height
because this certain height and reach capability that's why they do reach test
specially in Qatar is because you need to reach a specific thing in a specific
situation. That's the reason why
airlines needs tall people as a flight attendant.
How tall are we talking about? We are talking about people who are usually 5'3 ft
156-157 centimeters and sometimes some airlines will ask for 160 centimeters
for their applicants this is because each airline
has different requirement. Why? Again you might ask it's because
sometimes another airline has a different kind of airplane and another
airline has the different kind of airplane.
Sometimes they do a wide bodied big airplane so they need like really tall
girl for that and then there are other companies that flies small planes
It really doesn't matter because everything is within reach there is no like height
requirement to reach. For you, if you are below 5'3ft or if you are below
157cm your job is to make sure you research where you are trying
to apply. Because sometimes they are small companies
that will allow you to become a flight attendant or reach your dream to be a
flight attendant because they have small planes so you can apply to those and
also sometimes when the airline that is hiring has a lot of applicants that are
applying to them they have this massive amounts of _____ of applicants that
are there. They want to filter them. They want to filter them by putting up
straight requirements like the height requirements. There are also times
that they need flight attendants but there are there is no one applying
to them because it's either they're applying to other airlines or they are
not interested in becoming a flight attendant or they are already like a few
major airlines have already made their hiring and they're already hired over
there or sometimes an airline company, most of their flight attendants move
into another airline because they just recently hired there. These are the
opportunities that you have to look for if you are below 5'3ft because there
are certain times where in a company will put down their requirements their
height requirements. They will put it like two inches down or like they will not put a
height requirement at all they will just good our reach requirement
that's the total point of it. That's the only reason
that they put the height requirement so that you can reach it, right? What if
you don't reach the height but you can reach. I mean your physical height is
not 5'3ft but you can reach the safety equipment where it is placed.
If that is the case they can still hire you and they just do this on those
instances where their demand is very high and their supply of applicants is
very low. My advice for you guys is to make sure that you watch out for
opportunities like this because this happened when I was in PAL Express and
this happened with only for Cebu. That time they abolish the height requirement, they
just did the reach test. It can happen, it is possible. I'm not saying that
just because you are not 5'3ft you will never get the flight attendant job. What
I'm saying if you are not 5'3ft you have to be more alert. You have to be more
smart and you have to be more aware where are these companies that are
hiring like that you have to be aware of the supply and demand that is happening
on right now. This happens a lot even in Saudia. There was a time in 2014
when they have posted they need a height requirement of 165 centimeters and what
happened is that small amount of people went there. What IPAMS did the next
week, after 2 weeks they said "We are open for 160 cm"
You see the trend? They don't have enough supply, they would level down
their requirements. That is what you are needing to watch out for.
I feel like I'm going in circles already but I hope you get my point 😁
That's it and that is my say on this matter so I hope that you guys
is clear. I hope it's clear for you guys. I'm not so sure, but if you are as well as
worried on how to get the job as a flight attendant, aside from the height, you have to make
