Suetape Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Application fee was a common practice with some US carriers up to the late 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leiftheswede Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I guess the fee is there not to get frivolous and less serious applications. If u pay you r most likely serious about the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In countries like Thailand Flight Attendant positions are considered glamorous and highly paid, as such most young women would want to be a flight attendant - the pool of occupants would be overwhelming with many completely chancing their luck and having no real chance of passing the application process - the 'application charge' is nothing more than a measure to filter out those who know they are unrealistic applicants.

But that disadvantages genuine applicants who have all the right attributes, attidudes, behaviors and ability to learn and do the job well, but have little funds to lodge the application. A sort of unfair discrimination. And doesn't support 'equal opportunity'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry; daughters, nieces, daughters of cronies and mia noi are probably automatically on the candidate list and way outside of application fees, and automatically near the top of the candidate list because of favors, tea money and whatever. and also exempted from the requirement to be able to swim 200 meters (not sure of the distance, but this requirement does exist). Then they can enjoy their 'sponsor' pulling strings to ensure they get schedules for the flights they want; Paris, London, but of course only when it's not too cold....

My Thai son wanted a job during his break from University. They wanted him to work his first 2 weeks without wages. Most jobs in my life have done that normally it is paid back when you leave.

BenBen23 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Only 1,200 BAHT! That's nothing compared to what you have to pay to buy a job as a policeman, immigration officer, or teacher. These would-be flight attendants should be ashamed of themselves for paying so little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of this bitterness reads like jealousy... Some guys expressing a little bitterness that their farm-girl cannot get a decent job and is either stuck in a factory or requesting a monthly stipend to stick around....

Rawairat Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Apparently Jetstar is B5000, sign of the times. My first job 25 years ago cost me $3000 which was eventually refunded and I ended up with a great pension risk v reward. Good luck to the applicants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manhood Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 50 % of the top management should be fired right away and 50% of the rest couple of month later. From the employees in charge you also can fire 50% and better set up training for the staff to be on international level! A concept for all over Thailand if i follow up the working skills!
