Could you maybe do a video description the process of receiving your confirmation email to actually starting. I am starting training in a few weeks and I have no contact!
Thanks for filming and publishing the video đ It was extremely informative and now I have a specific idea of what Ryanairâs rosters look like âïž
You are very welcome! Thanks for requesting it. Glad you found it helpful đ
I am ex VA crew & applied to Ryanair today - I just miss being in the skies! This video really helped me understand the short-haul way a bit more!! đ€Ł
Aww I wish you the best to re-starting your cabin crew journey. Glad you found this video helpful!
Love all your videos! â€ïžâ€ïž
Thanks Elaine đ€ â€ïž
This is so good to see. Back in 2005 I was cabin crew for Ryanair and it was completely different. We had 5 days on 2 days off then 5 days on 3 days off. We had the early shift pattern that meant being in the airport for 4;30am and then we had the late pattern which usually ended between 11pm and 12.00am . We were averaging 60 hours working a week. I know things got so much better since and its great to see that Cabin crew are much better treated now. Thank you again so much for this video
Wow, a 60 hour week sounds very intense. Things have definitely improved for Cabin Crew over the years.
Iâm in love with your cabin crew videos! â€ïž
Thanks Sophie!! Glad you are enjoying them â€ïž
Very helpful! Thank you, Tabitha!
You're welcome!
Love the background information.
Great!!
Waiting to sit my final exams so I can finally join a cabin crew training session!!!!
I feel anxious but also thrilled, I think it will be an interesting experience since Iâm barely 20 and a uni student!!
Yes, it's definitely interesting. Just make sure you have enough money to start with and secure accommodation for when you arrive at your base. You should be good & I think you will find many others of a similar age :)
@@TabithaLaker thanks for the reassurance!! Iâve been worrying a lot since Iâve never been away that long but itâs been a dream of mine since little, and if not now then when??
Very useful
We appreciate it
You're very welcome! đ
Nice video!!
Thanks!
Very nice explanation thank you
You're welcome!
Your videos are amazing Tabitha and thank you so much for helping us all out, honestly!!
May I ask why you left Ryanair and what your current occupation is?
I would be very interested!
No, I was given a pdf booklet to study. This was before the pandemic.
Love your videoosssâ„ïžâ„ïžthankiu, actually I didnât really understand what turn around means
hi tabitha i have been looking at all of you're videos and they have been so so helpful:) i wanted to ask if you have the time between flights to look at some cities sometimes or if it actually never happens. thank you
Hey Greta, so glad you have found them helpful. There is no time between flights to see cities, however, you can travel on your days off.
Can you make a video on what itâs really like to work for Ryanair? Are the working conditions as bad as people say? Whatâs the salary like and is it true that CC only get paid for the time in the air? Itâd be very helpful as Iâm considering to apply but my family is opposed to it due to Ryanairâs bad reputation. Thank you! â€ïž
Hi Wiktoria. I understand your parents concern as it is valid, but some people really do love the job despite the conditions. Plus it's useful to know that Ryanair is a good place to start if you intend on being a Flight Attendant long term and want to move on to other airlines. Video coming soon! â€ïž
I love your videos!!
Can u talk about salary and benefits?
Yes. I just filmed that video last night. It will be up soon!
Tabitha Laker thank youuuuu
Hey! Iâm super curious in something, from the very first second you land, you have only 25 minutes to taxi to the gate, deboard, board and taxi to the runway. Or the countdown starts since you arrive at the gate?
Thanks!!
Love your editingđ. Plus you are really pretty. BTW which country in Africa are you from?
De dd Thank you, I appreciate your kind words đ€
Uganda
Yes I am from Uganda (The North) đ
I loved this video! Thankyou! I have an interview next week, I have a question, I know tattoos arenât allowed I have a couple of tattoos on my wrist which can be covered in a long sleeve shirt but Iâve noticed the uniforms seems to be 3/4 sleeve shirts, do they offer long sleeve shirts? This is my dream job đđ
Tattoos are allowed as long as you can cover them up. Yes, they offer long sleep shirts đ
Hi, thank you for having a platform to help others out. Iâve got a question about the final exam, is all the questions multiple choices or there are some where you would have to answer for your self
Thank you in advance beautiful
The questions are all multiple choice đ
Hey, Tabitha! Do you have a video about the types of hirings with Ryanair, permanent, contract or temporary? Also I've heard something about cabin crews being outsourced by a company that works with Ryanair and the salary dicrease, because they take "their part" of it. Could you explain more about that? Is it true? Beside that, In the other video that you were comparing Ryanair with British Airways, telling about the assessment day and training, does Ryanair helps with the costs? For example, you said you were based in an airport at Berlin, but it's supposed to be another, did they help you with accomodations? To finish, Just for curiosity: do you live alone or with other cabin crews? Trying to join Ryanair, but many doubts are jumping in my mind. Haha thank you for your collaboration.
No sorry I don't have a video about temp vs permanent. I think Ryanair has multiple Irish companies that they operate under.. I am not 100% sure of it is oursourcing. Not sure about salary. As for costs, I created a video about what is free and what you have to pay for: czcams.com/video/YH1Fg1OHYG0/video.html hopefully this answers your question. For training, they offer an accomodation option you need to pay for. If you don't take it, you can live with whoever you want or alone. It's up to you.
its look you have a great job there enjoy it
You could say that. Have a nice day!
Hey, how long was it after you applied online that you heard back from the airline that you were shortlisted? Thanks đ„°đ
Hey Denise, I think it was 1 month đ But that was a long time ago. Maybe things have changed these days.
Hi tabitha!
I'm getting ready to start a training course in Hahn Germany at the beginning of the year and i have a question that i don't know if you can help me with...
They are asking me for reference letters of the places i've worked for in the last 5 years.
In total I've worked in 5 different places, am i going to absolutely need all five letters? Some of the places didn't respond yet and I'm afraid they're going to be the reason i cannot be on the training course!
Thank you so much for all the videos and informations you're sharing with us !! Kisses,
-Ana
You just need reference letters from 2 places. 1 can be work and the other personal. All the best to you x
I have liked it
Kyeyune Mark thanks!
hi, i love your videos. I have a question. home standby is at your base or the country that you fly to?
Home standby is at your base.
@@TabithaLaker But i don;t get a thing. Ryanair cabin crew get to stay for 1 night or so in another country?
Hello Tabitha⊠how often do you get called up when your on home standby?
It depends on how often they need you. I didn't get called for every standby I had.
Nice video, you're beautiful! I found this as I follow the American flight attendants. Do any of the European airlines have proper layovers like they do in the us? I feel like the USA cabin crews get way better benefits in that case?
Hey Claire, Thank you! One of my fellow classmates went on to work for Iberia (short haul) and always had layovers because of the nature of her schedule. You definitely get perks with some European airlines, but they are most likely for long haul flights only. And just so they are adhering to the law and not overworking you.
Hey, I was wondering if you can offer me some advice.I love traveling and wearing makeup and looking presentable.
I am thinking of working in the travel industry,however I don't necessarily want to be a flight attendant. Is there any other careers within the flight/travel industry where I can still travel the world?
I will be making a video about this soome đ
@@TabithaLaker :)
It is my dream to be cabin crew for virgin, but I have tattoos (I got them before considering this as a career) do you think I would have any chance of being cabin crew?đ©đ© love your video btw! X
It really depends on Virgin's rules. With Ryanair, if you can cover them up, you should be ok.
Hi there! Was wondering, do you know if Ryanair staff have the same routes every week? Iâve seen someone I know work same destination 2 times
Hey, the roster changes week by week, but sometimes cabin crew may do the same destinations twice in a week. It's normal.
Just applied for a cabin crew job with Ryanair. How long before a flight do you have to be at the airport?
Briefing in the crew room starts 45 minutes before the first flights departure time. I say get there 1 hour before. Maybe things have changed now. If so, you will find out on the training course.
Iâm 14 in 2 days and I really want to be cabin crew when Iâm 18!
Awesome!! Not too long to go now đ & Happy Birthday for Friday đ đ
Tabitha Laker Thank you! đ
Hellow sweety thank you for this info! I wanna ask you something! You think that i could work and study a career at the same time đ iâm asking because of the hours and all the things
Yes I had a friend doing her masters at the same time as working đ It's all about how you manage your time.
Hi, so if you have a flight of 1.30 hours, they pay you only one hour, or all the 1.30? And when you have two different flights in the sale day, you have to return ti the gates and change the flight or Ryanair use the same of the previous?
they pay you for 1hr 30mins flight hours. You only return to the crew room once duties are over.
When you're on standby how much time do you have between when you get the call and when you need to be at the airport?
a minimum of 1 hour. I often got told either the day before or about 8 hours before the flight.
@@TabithaLaker What happens if you're late due to bad traffic and does that mean you can't be at your house if it's more than an hour from the airport
Hi can i ask you a question in just so worried about it what medical checks do they do for ryanair thanks i love Your videosâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Cristian Kabba the medical checks are pretty simple. Itâs mostly if you have some underlying health conditions you will not pass. Best to look it up online on the CAA or EASA website for specifics đ
Cristian Kabba thanks so much for watching đ€
Hi tabitha thanks for replying that is very kind just a Quick question what is an underlying condition?
With Ryanair can you request a base? My closest airport is London Luton and I donât really fancy moving abroad? đ
Jude Hartley same :)
On the first day of Training you can swap with one of your coursemates if they happen to have the base you want. Then, on the first day of paid work / first day online at your base you can request a transfer. That is how I remember the procedure. Luton, Southend & Stanstead London airports are supposed to be easy bases to get because apparently nobody wants to go there (people prefer spain and other mediterranean countries). Even if you don't get the base you want at the start, you can always keep requesting a base transfer and they are likely to consider it if you have a 'clean record' (not lates, no no-shows, no grooming discrepancies etc). Hope this answer helps đ
do ryanair flight attendants do layovers or do you always come back home everyday?
you come back home every day.
Hi Tabitha, great videos! Just wondering about age limits. I have applied and got the interview for next week, but I ÂŽm 52! Do you know?
I think at 52 you should still be able to apply. Just ask yourself if you would be okay with mostly younger colleagues in the cabin sometimes telling you what to do etc. You just have to be very strong-minded to be a cabin crew for Ryanair :) Sorry I am not trying to put you off at all, just letting you know about the reality - which I am sure you may have already considered.
You have to mention how many flights in one day you did like in 12 hours shift only one time departure and arrival or twice.
for most it's either 4 flights or 2 flights. I heard some bases have 6 flights.
Do you normally do multiple sectors or is it just their and back?
Yes of course, because you have to return back to the base. It is never just 1 flight unless you are called for an emergency flight returning to base - then you would either fly there as a passenger or on a deadhead flight.
Just applied for a job as a crew member at Ryan Air for over the summer! What did you do during your lay overs? Did you have any opportunities to actually visit in the countries?
There are no layovers. You always return to the base, unless you are called for duties beginning at another base - which is extremely rare.
@@TabithaLaker thank you Tabitha, youâre vids have been really useful!
@@TabithaLaker so you cant really visit the cities working on ryanair?
Can I ask, are all the timetables in GMT time? Does it specify that itâs GMT time?
it's in Zulu time. You need to calculate your local time based on that.
Are there any long haul flight where you can stay in a new city for a day or 2?
no there aren't
For me, only thing putting me off is the water ditching bit , in training any advice?
You should practice swimming and make sure you can get from A to B.
hi tabitha do you need to know airport codes to become cabin crew??
Yes pretty much. The airport codes for the Ryanair network. We had to study that. You also need to know the Phonetic Aviation Alphabet.
Hi, do you have to live close to the base? Do they put you in accommodation?
Yes you have to live close to the base. They do not put you in accommodation.
Hey babe - Which AME did you use? & what DBS is required isit a basic one??
Wow I'm sorry this is late. I used one in Watford. But you can go to your closest Aviation Medical place. For DBS you can apply from the UK government website. And yes it was just a basic one.
Was it common to have a 4 Sector day or even higher ?
Yes it's pretty common to have 4 setor days, though some bases tend to only have 2-3 sectors. The only bases I've heard about 6 sector days in is Ireland - Probably for short flights between the UK & Ireland.
Hi, do you think a travel steamer would be useful ? I don't know if I should buy one on amazon or not..
Yes it could be. You will definitely need an Iron, so if a steamer does the same job I guess you could take that instead.
@@TabithaLaker thank u beautiful x so i have to put the steamer on the CC bag they give me ? Sorry but i havenât started the training yet so I wanna be prepared.
@@valeriacintorino5279 Iron. But if steamer does the same job, you can take that. Your uniform needs to be straightened out without creases.
Are your days off always in the city where youâre based?
They are wherever you choose for them to be. Since you are off work, itâs your time and you can travel or just stay home.
Do they provide accommodation for you if you need to relocate?
No you need to find that yourself. Feel free to watch my video about the things you need to pay for and the things that are free czcams.com/video/YH1Fg1OHYG0/video.html đ
Hi tebitha sorry just one Quick question in my commento you said that someone wouldnt pass if they have underlying conditions, but what do you mean by that?
I mean illnesses that prevent you from working as a flight attendant - this link should help www.caa.co.uk/Aeromedical-Examiners/Medical-standards/Cabin-Crew/Cabin-Crew-Medical-Report/#MEDREP
@@TabithaLaker thanks you so much you are my idolđ
Are you entitled to annual leave working with Ryanair or not as you have days off
Yes, you initially get 20 days of annual leave per year.
Hii love your cabin crew videos I have a question do ryanair bace cabin crew via there language like if you only speek English they will bace u in Dublin or London standsted if you get what I mean
Thanks! No they base you where they need Cabin Crew. Everyone must speak English. Some bases are more desired than others and they're usually not in the UK or Ireland.
Hi! Would you say it is possible to work as a cabin crew while studying to my masters?
Yes, I think so. I had a friend who was doing that. As long as the learning is long distance and you don't have to go to classes you should be fine.
@@TabithaLaker thank you for replying! đđŒ
If I have a base chosen by the company, can they change it ? Example Madrid. Can they say, ok.from now on.your.base will be Edinburgh.
Yes, they can say that if they want to, but they rarely do. If they want you to change bases of be based elsewhere for a period of time they will ask you. At one point I was asked if I wanted to go to another German base for a month. I agreed, but it ended up not happening.
Iâm just 11 and I wanna be a Ryanair fight attendant đ« but I donât know at what age they can start
You need to be 18 to work for them đ Just keep working hard in school and when you get to 18 (if you still want to be a CC) you can apply. And of course apply to other airlines.
I got an interview invitation from Ryan air but Iâm not sure if Iâll be taken in if not a resident of any European country or have an European passport.Do they recruit people from Africa too?
On the job description it says this "Applicants must have the unrestricted right to live and work in the UK if based in the UK upon successful completion of training" or "Applicants must demonstrate their legal entitlement to work on an unrestricted basis across the EU and / or the UK " So you have to ask yourself if you meet this requirement.
Hello Faith Ruyondo, i have the same problem i have my online interview next week and i don't have the rigth tho work in EU just the resident permit.
How did your did your interview wet, did they took you?
Hi! I have a question, i really want to be a flight attendent, but im married and i wanted to come home everyday, is it possible? Fly and go back to my own house in my city when my shift ends?
Hi Larissa, yes, all flights are short haul and you return to your base every day. You may be home late some nights, but you will still come home, unless (on the rare occasion) you are called to operate a flight from another base back to yours or you get grounded for whatever reason.
@@TabithaLaker so, You dont have time to visit the city That You flying to?
Hi Tabitha,I recently applied for ryanair and I passed my English test and asked to produce cv and full size photo .what is the next step ,I am an Indian, is accommodation is company provided and the food
I have tips in a playlist on my channel. Ryanair does not provide food and accomodation. czcams.com/play/PLmFstjmsqsr6k81u8wKmwV2GZI1dqUXGt.html . For everything else, just make sure you meet the requirements in the job description.
Great video! Do you get paid for home standby?
Hi Elliot. Thanks! Yes you get paid, but it is included in your 'base pay'. I will make a video breaking down the salary soon.
đđ
did you have to pay on your own? Or they payed for you?
I am not sure what you mean. Could you explain? This video is about salary.
Do you get paid for home standby/ airport standby x
Yes, because it's part of the job. For home standby, your pay is included in your base pay. For airport standby you paid about 30 euros for each shift.
How often did you get layovers?
Never
Hi-
What bases can you train at? Donât worry if you donât know. Xxx
The bases I know of are in Hahn, Madrid & Bergamo.
Ok thanks so much! X
I am married to an EU citizen I applied to RyanAir and I got an interview.
Will I be able to become a Cabin Crew if he comes with me to the EU if he comes with me?
Hey! Iâm in the same situation as you! Could you still get to work for Ryanair?
So how many hours did you usually do?
It was varied. A day could start at 6am and end at 2pm but for that day you have to wake up at 3am and by the time you get home it is 4/5pm. I was hoping sharing the rosert would explain that.
is good the payment of the home stand by?
Home standby pay is covered by the basic salary. Airport standby is something like 30 euros.
I want to know if i can apply for the cabin crew job in Ryan Air while I'm not a British resident.
You need to at least have EU residence.
@@TabithaLakerwhat if I'm not?
Hi I need informations does Rayanair pays the contributions for a future pension ???
Thanks đ
Hey, I donât think they do. You need to organise that yourself.
Do you know if they are fine with having dreads and/or short beard?
I am not sure about dreads (they only recently started accepting braids) but a short beard is totally fine as long as it is neat.
Hy
What are the major requirements for being a flight attendant
Is a second language really important
Nah, only English
That's right, just English. Though a second language can be advantageous depending on the country you are based in.
Does ryanair offer crew car if you arrive late to your base and there is no transportation ?
No. Do you mean on an average work day?
@@TabithaLaker i mean like if you arrive 2 am to your base from a flight... there are no public transport... for example Wizzair provides crew car ( car waiting for crew outside the terminal and drop off each crew next to his her house ) they do it for crew who dont own a private car and only for flights departing or arriving between 10 pm and 6 am when there is no public transport
@@hamudilae467 No, Ryanair does not do this. When you arrive at your base, you need to take a taxi. That's what I did when I arrived at my base in Berlin. Ryanair is a no frills airline both for passengers and crew.
â@@hamudilae467No, they do not. No accommodation, no crew transportation, no food, no layovers...
Hi Tabitha , I am Daman. I have a question that I am EU ( European union )
Permanent resident and have right to live and work in EU but I don't hold any European passport so can I work in Ryanair? as a flight attendant. I hold an Indian passport with Austrian permanent resident.
That's a good question. Here is the job description for a role in Dublin. You can see if the papers you have match what they are asking for.
careers.ryanair.com/search/#job/1b0a1b
It says in the first bullet point: "Applicants must demonstrate their legal entitlement to work on an unrestricted basis across the EU and / or the UK"
@@TabithaLaker Oh thx , I am glad that I can work in Ryanair just because I have right to work in EU , by the way i am choosing buzz air
Hey, i got training next week and it says i need to get a crew identification ID to become cabin crew. Do i need this before i go into training or before i become actual cabin crew?
Are you talking about the Crewcode or Airport ID? Crewcode you will get on the first day/or first few days of training, Airport ID you will get on the last day of training or first day at your base (after training).
do you start thursday at stansted?
@@felicitasvt i start the 5th at stansted!
@@SK-oc5ib i start the 10th! when was your interview?
@@felicitasvt the 25thđ„°
Are we allowed to request a day off?
Yes of course
@@TabithaLaker Ok yay! Cos I read reviews where the manager pick days off for the flight attendant đł
@@Ndubz4ever1 If you do not choose your days off in advance, they will be chosen for you.
Do you know if you can work in Ryanair if you're colour blind?
I actually have no idea about this. You should send get in touch with them to find out.
i like to be cabin crew for RYANAIR
All the best on your journey!
Are you based in SXF right?
Just know I was at a Berlin Airport.
@@TabithaLaker I was in SXF airport
@@MallorcaPlaneSpotting were you plane spotting or flying?

Donât you have to pay something stupid for Ryanair training like ÂŁ14,000
Nope. In the past it was aout ÂŁ3000 but now It's free.
Tabitha Laker ahh okay Iâm doing a cabin crew and aviation course at college and they told me it was ÂŁ14,000 to do the training, I did think that was a bit stupid tbh
I'm not being rude it sounds like hell.
Well itâs definitely not a paradise đł
