So, I went to the Emirates cabin crew assessment day in my home country few days ago . For reference, I’m 68 kg and 165 cm tall.
I remember very clearly that whenever I asked people online about the BMI requirements, they would always say things like, “You need to lose weight,” “Emirates likes skinny people,” or “You’ll be eliminated in the first round.”
Well, hate to break it to you, but that’s not the case!
I made it to the final interview, and I wasn’t the only bigger girl there.
I just wanted to share my experience because I know there are people with a few extra kilos who might be giving up on their chances for that reason alone.
So, if you’re one of them, please don’t withdraw your application or give up before even trying. Go ahead and give it a shot! ❤️✈️
I add a pics of how I look you can tell am not skinny at all

Hello!

I’m 25 years old, living in the Philippines and currently working in the medical field. I really love my job, but sometimes, I feel like I also want to pursue a career as a flight attendant (FA).

I have the height and looks naman, but the only concern I have is my teeth. I’m missing one of my first molars, and I still have my braces on.
I can have my braces removed if necessary, but my main concern is my missing tooth. It’s also somewhat visible when I smile, so I’m worried that it might affect my application.

Has anyone here been hired as a flight attendant despite having a missing tooth? What did you do? Or do airlines reject applicants because of this kind of imperfection once they find out?

Please help me. I don’t want to risk leaving my current job just to pursue a career as an FA, but I still want to explore this opportunity. I’m just worried about whether my dental condition might affect my chances of getting hired, considering the airlines’ qualifications and requirements.

I would really appreciate hearing your experiences and advice. Thank you!
