Suggestion for those adding me as friend....

Greetings,

Been some time...

Guys and girls out there, thanks for supporting my blog and being my friends.
Act as an aviation lover, I love to share what I know about the aviation and giving the best advice from what I know and what I have experienced to cut short your way in searching, hunting and even walking to some unnecessary roads especially you're the only one in your friends' group who dreams to be a pilot during starting time.
(Well, I am. Hence, I understand that feeling and wish to help out my best! Of cause, you will still need to play your role to achieve it!)

******* Attention *******
For those who wish to add me up , please specific by sending a message to my wall post/inbox/PM my facebook. So that I can group you up as my friend.
1. The chatbox in my blog is contaminated with those *erm hurm*
2. Facebook ends up with quite a lot of strangers who whole year stays in silent. Worst is...I get those people who add me to advertise their products.
Please cooperate yea~ Thanks.

Cabin Crew /Flight Attendant /Stewardess//steward /Cabin Attendant

I have come across with people asking me about "HOW TO BE A STEWARDESS".

First of all,
guys and girls,
Please don't get confused with the terminology.
As per the title of this post,

"Cabin Crew"
"Flight attendant"
"stewardess/stewards"
"Cabin Attendant"
all bring the same meaning of it.

In this post, I will use Flight Attendant then.
Requirement for Flight Attendant ain't that high.

In Malaysia, common requirements will be at least:
1. Credit in SPM (having a good score of cause will be much better)
2. Height at least 158cm
3. Eyesight : Power not too high. Contact lenses are acceptable
4. Knowing more language will be an advantage
5. BMI (height and weight) must be in normal range
6. Normally maximum age for fresh applicant is 24 years old
7. Without visible mark/tattoo
For overseas, common requirements are slightly higher with additional of: 
8. at least having A-Level certificate (STPM/Diploma/Foundation...)
9. highest touch with your finger is 212cm
10. No birth mark/tattoo

2 ways to be a flight attendant:

1. Go through some private training center.
 You pay for the training, no secure job,they will do their best in arranging you for the airlines interview after training completed.
2. Apply through airlines (website/walk in interview).
You will be trained by airlines after you have successfully make through a few stages and competition. Job is secured. Fully sponsored by the airlines.



How much a flight attendant can earn per month?
It varies. From 3000MYR to 10,000MYR. It depends on airlines, currency, sector allowance, night stop and etc.

Common airlines which apply by Malaysian to be a flight attendant:
1. Malaysia Airlines
2. Firefly
3. Maswings
4. AirAsia
5. Eithad
6. Qatar
7. Emirates
8. Singapore Airlines
9. Cathay Pacific
10. Korea Airlines
Not to forget, the up coming...
11. Malindo (soon to start operating in mid year of 2013)

If you're hoping to be a sponsored flight attendant and keen to be...
follow the steps below:
Open a "GOOGLE/YAHOO/SAFARI" search with "XXXX (Airlines names)" --> check under "career(s)"

Don't get confused with the terminology used by different countries.
All the Best!

Doubts on where to do pilot medical in Malaysia and its requirements?

Greetings to all  the aviators out there.

I apologize that I have been idling for quite some time due to busy.

Anyway, lately I have been received may inquiries about the pilot medical requirements. 

Some asking me about the vision, height, weight and etc.

Some pilot wanna be is then asking me about where they can go for the pilot medical check up in Malaysia.

Well, hereby I will provide all the information that you will need.

Kindly click HERE.It will direct you to the Malaysia Department Civil of Aviation and it brings all the info about the pilot medical requirements. Your doubts will totally be cleared after reading it. 

All the best to the pilot wanna be , future pilots are attending their airlines medical and self sponsor pilots in Malaysia. 

Flight Training Academy...? Nothing to be blame on!

For many student pilots out there....

I have seen quite lots of cases that : students are stucked for their training!

Well, some cases.... I feel sorry,indeed.
When I hear it... OMG~ But i couldn't help out anything other than putting sympathy on you.
Eg. The flight training academy went bankrupt in Australia. Money couldn't be refunded.
(Well, by the law, Ok~ I'm not so sure for overseas, but for Malaysia, yes! It's stated that it's depends on what type of company(flight training academy) be registered as. Once it has gone bankrupt, you really can't do anything on it other than just assuming you have 'invested' the money to the 'wrong academy' which 'failed' to provide you the training services.)

Some cases, student pilots are stucked due to the flight academy is going through some difficulty.
Same thing, you can blame it. At first, you have chosen to believe that gonna be the best school to provide you the flight training with that price! So why wanna complain for it? Again, assuming your 'invested money' has gone frozen for a short temporary then. Life has up and down. Nothing you can do, ain't you? Unless you're capable to help out and solve that 'big trouble'.

Some cases, student pilots are stucked due to their own. One who never realises his/her attitude has gone with problems, can actually cause whole course be delayed. With that, it be pointed to the flight academy again. What's the point? Your excuses will only be turn down with a shame later on. Sigh...

Some cases, student pilots are complaining after graduating, they are jobless. Well, did a University ensure you a job after you grad.? Think about it! Even the market demand outside is low, you still choosing to learn as a student pilot. Hence, who's false is that? Ain't a pilot should actually ready some works(research.. just like do up some flight plan before the flight depart?). Where's your effort before joining the flight academy? Therefore, who should be blamed?

Whatever the case may happen....
Guys and gals,
for the pilot wanna be,
for the real passion you have,
next time open your eyes 'big big'....check the history of the schools, check the current market...
whatever its gonna happen, ready to bear the consequences by yourself.
Honestly, I feel sympathy for it. But that's the 'decision making' which you had made beforehand. We are now adult. Learn how to bear the consequence by ourselves. Nothing to be blame on...BUT OURSELVES!

For those who got involving.. i'm sorry to hear and see it.
For those who got escaped from this situation..with the god bless, so with mine, all the best for your future undertaking!

Keep your flying passion alive and keep moving for your life!

Pardon for any typo,spelling mistakes and etc.

It's not Kung Fu Panda but kung fu-armed cabin crews

When you think about this article??
In Singapore's broken English, Iwill say...
"Nowadays, don't play play with the cabin crew on board man~!!! You won't know what ya gonna be later~~~ XD"

It's not Kung Fu Panda but for Hong Kong Airlines cabin crews, they learn wing chun, a form of kung fu that is characterised by short, sharp movements to deal with air rage.

The airline's deputy general manager for corporate communications, Eva Chan, said to South China Morning Post that all staff has been invited to enrol in the training but made it compulsory for cabin crews. On average, the airline has three incidents with disruptive passengers every week.

The idea to incorporate martial arts training came during a company function when senior manages watched a wing chun demonstration and a dance performance by cabin crew. A tailor made course was developed for the airline.

Maybe every cabin crew should learn a form of martial arts so that passengers with preying eyes and itchy fingers can deal with them, swiftly. But swift martial arts movements reminds me of Martin Yan's chicken massage.
