Pre super numery (sny) flights

So all of our training is done. Finally all of us manage to go through all the boring classroom theories. First aid and sep passed. Received our sep cards. Means that we are fit to fly! It's a happy thing cos its not easy as all of our training is super compressed. Learn today, test tmr -.-

Anyway the last week of our training before our sny was going to changi airport for our aircraft visit. Get to see the Boeing 777. It's huge. H.U.G.E. abit of a mountain tortoise but srsly :O compared to the airbus 320 it's so much bigger. Total of 4 cabins with 402 passengers but only 9 cabin crew no choice la uh low cost carrier. Pictures will be after the words!

Then subsequently it was training at novena. William angliss institute. Beautiful place with an awesome pantry. Convenient at least. Not located at some ulu part of SG with no mrt station like stc. So we learn cabin crew resource management (ccrm) there. For three days. Mostly filled with games and activities that kept our mind working. Abit of my personal life here- I bought my heels there. And I was lucky as smoochies having a flea there and of course. Bought lots and lots of makeup :)

After the 3 days at WA institute it was the end of the week. The following week. Last week of our training. Monday we were supposed to go training at tp learning our PA. I didn't check my email. We were supposed to report to changi airport to visit the operation control centre (occ) which will be our reporting location. Lucky I was notified early, cabbed straight to the airport. Walked to occ. took a look at the place and all of us shared a cab to tp.

So we learnt our PA. and one by one we went and do our assessment. Got a B- which is good means I can't make PA on board. Wahahaha. Had our lunch at mcd in tp and sat in the lecture to listen to rules and regulations of the company. Dos and don't. Soon it was the end of the lesson and all of us had our sny dates.

So my first sny was scheduled on the 30th 2.10 am flight to Sydney. One night of layover and back to SG. So my bday is gonna be spent on the plane. Lol. 2nd oct. syd to sin... I am working!! :( 2nd sny is a bkk turnaround. Should be fine.

This is all we had for our training. The next post will be about the sny! Now it's all the pictures. :)

3rd and 4th week of training.

3rd week was still our SEP training. So for the 3rd week, we did ditching. Which was jumping into the water with life vests and climbing on to the raft which wasn't easy. Then we had a lot of tests, written tests oral tests. Great thing was everyone passed! Dangerous goods I've got full marks for both :) SEP I got 90%. The whole class did well.

Oral assessment was so damn scary. First was safety demo, 2 at a time we had to demo in front of the class with a really fierce woman staring at you. Ok I went through that smoothly.
2nd one was screaming at the top of our voice if there was a crash.
BRACE! BEND DOWN HEADS DOWN STAY DOWN STAY DOWN STAY DOWN...
It wasn't easy cos I've got the unplanned ditch. So I had to scream wear my lifevest, open the aircraft door and scream again.
3rd one was in the aircraft if there is an emergency evacuation what must we do. So it was quite easy cos we practiced that umpteen times. The only part where I was a little nervous was briefing of abp (able-bodied passenger) for doors if I am incapacitated. Got through that stage too.
The last one, scariest. We have to sit in front of the same scary woman and she will ask us questions and obviously we have to answer. Thank god I got an easy one. She asked if there was a toilet fire what I should do. And the second one is how to use the water extinguisher. Easy peasy. After all these tests marks an end to our SEP.

First aid.
We had really dry theory lessons on class. Really dry and boring. But also a fair bit of practical. Like one man CPR, two man CPR and infant CPR. So my forth week of training just ended almost completed my first aid, just one more day on Monday to do my tests then we are all done with first aid. CPR is not easy, my hands had several blue blacks and bruises. But for first aid I've alr completed all the assessment. There is a special day on thursday where we all only had a half day lesson. 13th sept. it's safety and security class. Not boring, in fact interesting. It creates an awareness for all of us about the important of security in the airport. So many threats from terrorists around the world.

Really summarising 2 weeks up because it's really a busy week for me. Anyway there are pictures coming up not to worry. Ok that's all for now. Hopefully next week I'll have more time to blog so I don't have to squeeze 2 week's post into one. Adios!

First 2 weeks of training.

I have been really busy and I can't fork out any time to update the details of my training. But I swear it's so damn awesome!! It's the best part. I get to enjoy and I get paid. Where to find? K but it's just the training, yet to begin flying.

Pictures will be after all the words. So if you all find it boring then you can just skip the words and scroll all the way down and look at the pics I have taken.

First week. I started on the 21st of August. After hari raya. So the 19 of us from batch 11 reported in the office at the airport at 9am. So we met the CEO and people from different departments. So it dragged all the way till lunch time. We reported at Temasek poly after lunch. Basically introduction and details about our training. We ended at 1700.

So for the rest of the week we were located at Temasek poly. Lecture theatre 55. Learnt about galley equipment, Inflight sales, standard operation procedures, etc.. I was shocked. So much to digest. Not just a pretty girl with loads of makeup standing inside the cabin serving food.

Grooming part was fun! Learnt how to tie our hair and put on makeup. Red lipstick just don't compliment me. But well it's their requirement for us to be spotted with bright lipstick. And our hair must be neat in a sense that when the wind blows, not a single strand moves. Should already give you a rough idea how much hair spray we need to use.

Weekends was a rest day for us. :(
The second week. Monday was another day at tp. Theory lessons. Tuesday we went to Sats the food catering centre to learn about our pos (point of sale) machine. Was a very very dry lesson. Later in the afternoon. We were brought around the building to explore the place. Then we were all releases early.

Wednesday, we were then situated at stc (SIA training centre). A place where everyone is so polite and courteous. Greeting good morning/afternoon all the time. The food there is awesome! So I was there the whole week. In fact until the 18th of September. We had several practicals. Jumping the emergency slides. Pretending if there was a crash landing we need to shout commands. Practicing our safety demo. The stimulated cabin was just great. Smoke will come out if there's a crash and sounds to make it sound so real. Other than practical we also had a fair bit of dry sleepy lessons in class teaching us sep (safety emergency procedures) the most important test we have to pass in order to fly.

So that's practically the summary of what I did for the first two weeks. I'll update this space prolly once a week. Cos I am only free on the weekends. Ok pictures coming up. And I'll update about my interview rounds later.
