Introduction
Professionalism and friendliness are prerequisites for SAA cabin staff, who provide our clients with personalized, consistent service on board our aircraft. In addition to serving as ambassadors for the airline, our cabin crew also serves as a reflection of South Africa’s vibrant cultures, friendly people, and scenic landscapes. Being a member of the cabin crew at SAA is considered a pleasure, and it carries a great deal of responsibility. Cabin crew members must keep a healthy lifestyle, be well-groomed, and maintain good physical health. They must be able to control their jet lag, and weariness, and make sure they get enough sleep before starting each task.
The cabin crew of SAA visits foreign locations interacts with fascinating people, stays in first-rate hotels, and discovers diverse locales and cultures. However, the work is also demanding; they occasionally have to skip social events like birthdays and family gatherings. While they are on duty, they must handle crises, turbulence, sick passengers, potential disputes between passengers, delays, fatigue, and loneliness.
You must earn distinctions in safety and emergency procedures, SAA service procedures, and aviation medicine training if you think this thrilling and demanding career path is right for you. The South African Civil Aviation Authority Licensing Assessments must also be completed. After the hiring process, after an employee begins work, they receive all training.

CHECK OTHER JOB OPPORTUNITIES
To whom it may concern,
I am writing in regard any open flight attendant position. As a flight attendant I would have an opportunity to offer others the great experience I have had as a passenger many times.
Since my first flight across the country when I was a child, I have loved airplanes. Having now finished my flight attendant training and earned license, I feel I am achieving a lifelong dream of working in aviation.
Providing a safe, pleasant, and comfortable in-flight experience for all passengers is important to me. In completing my training and earning FAA certification, I studied first aid, de-escalation, and in-flight emergency response. I have strong communication skills and great time management, and I can facilitate collaboration and organization with the cabin crew.
I know that I would be an asset to the any team. My skills and training was done through EPT.
Please find my resume and application materials attached. I would love to schedule a meeting where we can discuss this opportunity and my application.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
McKayla Oosthuizen
