An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Why flight attendants can't have a lifetime career? I have been on flights where the flight attendant was 80 years old. And she works on the long haul flights between US to China.
The only reason why Asian airlines don't allow flight attendants to have a career is age discrimination.
Why doesn't the PAP press mention jobs in the military too? Most can't work beyond 50 years old.

2. Flight attendants
The salary package is extremely attractive.
Upon graduation and the commencement of duties for SQ Cabin Crews, you will be given a monthly allowance of approximately S$4,500- S$5,000, depending on flight patterns and flying hours. You also get to travel around the world without having to spend money on air tickets and accommodations.
Minimum age requirement is 18 years old and that explains why it is so well sought after by diploma graduates. It is no doubt one of the most well-paid jobs for an 18-year old diploma graduate.
However, the long distance flying affects the health of these young cabin crews.
We are not saying flying harms our health, but flying frequently back and fro for 10-12 hours actually does deteriorate our health.
Unfortunately, there is an invisible age limit for air stewardess.
Your health will probably not be able to take the long haul flights when you are at your 40s, and that also shows signs that it's time to exit the cabin crew career and explore other administrative work within the corporation.
