Hi everyone!

It's been a pleasure reading all of your messages and learning more about life as a cabin crew from you all.
I am posting this message because I am wondering at my chances of getting hired as a cabin crew now that I am in my thirties. I am 31, but I have often been told that I look longer than my age (could easily pass for 5 or 10 years younger). I have several years experience in the service industry, my most recent one (and current job) being working as a boarding agent at the airport.
I currently live in France, but I am more than willing to move abroad.
Have you personally been hired after 30, or do you know anyone who has ?
Also, are there any companies that are more likely to hired older candidates than others?
Thank you in advance for your replies !

Hello ,

easyJet and BA hire people over 50 .

31 is young !

Absolutely! Now's your time... most airlines appreciate life experience and some good customer service skills... go for it Age is only a barrier when it comes to some middle eastern and asian airlines...

I’m 56 and have just been accepted for BA Gatwick. Currently awaiting a provisional start date. Age is no barrier these days. It’s the person and what they can bring to the role that counts (with BA at least). On my assessment day around 25% of the applicants were over 40. Go for it and good luck!
