Hi,

We at Air Canada are presently into contract negotiations with the Company. One of the major issue this year is that the Company want to hand-pick the In-Charge Flight Attendants instead of using Seniority.

They stated in a recent Bulletin that the In-Charges in all major airline but Air Canada are hand-picked by merit by the management. Presently, to become a Purser with Air Canada, you just have to apply when there is positions open ad attribution goes with pure seniority.

How does it work in your airline??? Does it goes by Seniority or Pursers are hand-selected by merit by the management??? Thank you very much.

Hi Storm!

At LH you do NOT become a purser simply because of your seniority! Here's what it takes:

1. second foreign language next to English (oral
and written test)

2. computer iq and personality test

3. interview with a psychologist and a team leader
(role play)

4. presentation of a company related topic in the
English language

Hope that answers your question Storm!

I guess less depends on seniority. Looks like a meritocratic society.....which is good.
