Interviews don’t have to be stressful…
…and preparing for them shouldn’t be boring.
Which is why The Cabin Crew Interview Made Easy has been completely rewritten for 2025. We’ve put the fun back into interview preparation

20th Anniversary Edition
FROM FACELESS APPLICANT…
…TO THE FACE OF THE AIRLINE

Think of it as deadheading a supernumerary flight, but for the interview process.
This book mirrors the way airlines prepare their crew: dress rehearsals, “in-the-unlikely-event” scenarios, and full-kit simulations. Only here, instead of strapping into a hydraulic cabin with smoke and a plastic baby, you’ll strap into my cabin crew journey.
But don’t get comfortable in your unicorn onesie. You’re still on the manifest: observing, cross-checking, logging the miles.
- Pause, rewind, dissect.
- Examine turning points from multiple angles
- Run activities that sharpen the habits that naturally signal “crew material.”
When you enter the interview room yourself, you won’t need to think — it’ll already be in your muscle memory.

A non-traditional approach…
Airlines don’t train in unicorn onesies — and neither do we. We take our cue from crew training, with dress rehearsals, in-the-unlikely-event scenarios, and full-kit drills. This is prep that earns a clipped wing.
Designed to make the interview feel like part of the adventure, not something to endure.
Follow the sequence, and you’ll step away with conditioned habits, sharpened instincts, and a trained eye for what recruiters are actually observing.

Think Virgin flair with a spit polish of Emirates’ refinement
You’re not getting a textbook here. You’re getting me. This course is written the way I speak — conversational, candid, occasionally funny.
But, I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. If my personality grates on you, fair enough. Twenty-eight airline recruiters didn’t like me either. But Emirates did, and that’s the version you’re getting as your guide through this process.

“I got the Golden Call this morning and I’m so ecstatic. My dream is finally coming true.”
Delara Abernathy – Emirates Cabin Crew (2014, United Kingdom)

I Tried and tested…
…ALL the weird bits
You’ll learn things that you won’t find anywhere else. How can I say this with certainty? Well, I poked and prodded all the soft bits to see where the systems bend and flex. Some on purpose, others because I was naive. You get the benefit of those tests, including…
- The pros and cons to forming interview buddy systems
- Why dressing like you work there can work against you
- Do airlines use application photos to discriminate?
- What happened when I applied using AI-generated characters?
- Can you sneak past the requirements?
- Why being former cabin crew can put you at a disadvantage
- How breaking the rules can get you hired
- Why ignoring a problem or a conflict is the worst thing you can do
- and so much more…


A behavioural blueprint…
…grounded in five philosophies
- Think Like And Align To Their Airline
- Think Like An Airline Recruiter (Aka Working Crew Members)
- Drop Applicant Thinking
- Behave Like Cabin Crew
- Treat The Process As A Simulated Flight
