As the prospects of the development in China's aviation market are good, Shanghai Airlines' recruitment of Japanese and South Korean flight attendants, for the first time, is gladly welcome. On April 8, 25 native Japanese and South Korean flight attendant candidates, after a rigorous selection, began their strict "Chinese-style" training at Shanghai Airlines' training center
Shanghai Airlines' recruitment this time around attracted more than 3,000 enthusiastic Japanese and South Korean applicants. Shanghai Airlines, in accordance with the standards of Civil Aviation regulations, and through an overall evaluation of the candidates (appearance, temperament, language ability and ability to handle emergency situations), ultimately recruited 13 Japanese natives and 12 South Korean natives. The majority of these foreign flight attendants already had occupations in China. Among them, the Japanese candidates had work experience as flight attendants.
During the two-month training, Shanghai Airlines selected teachers to train the foreign flight attendants in English. And, in accordance with the Civil Aviation teaching outline and operations manual, the training and examination standards are the same for all of China's civil aviation students.
Shanghai Airlines said that once these foreign flight attendants become qualified, they will serve on Shanghai Airlines' flights to Japan and South Korea.
