Cabin crew height requirement is a major criteria because in order to performs their responsibility cabin require vertical functional reach of at least 2.01 meters (6 feet 7 inches) when standing on feet flat against the floor. This is for safety requirement as cabin crew will be required to reach equipment that is carried on board the aircraft. Therefore, airlines specify minimum height requirement. Cabin crew is required to be healthy to perform their in-flight functions. Therefore, healthy weight is determined by standard accepted body mass index of 19 to 4.9. Cabin crew is a customer service functions therefore airlines in addition look for pleasing personality with an unblemished complexion and good body language. Thank you.

When it comes to recruitment of flying crew members, age is secondary to the amount of flying experience that they have. The type of Pilot license they hold is also a matter of consideration:
Pilots with ATPL license are in demand for the position of commanders, ICAO licenses are acceptable at most of the places. Whereas airlines which operate in West look for FAA or JAAR licenses.
It depends on the work location and the role that the airline is recruiting for. In case of Captains the requirements may go up to 5000 hrs and 2500 hrs on type. On the other hand when it comes to selection for the position of First Officers the amount of hours required are reduced to 2000.
In case of international airlines, they look for experienced flying crew because usually in their countries the CPL license are issued after having flown for 1200 to 1500 hrs. As opposed to in India where we can obtain it at only 200hrs of flying.
Hence, the age gap starts from the beginning itself.

Hello,
Various courses and entrance exams: This is the issue that is faced by almost all students. The fact is that entrance examinations are conducted, whenever there is mismatch between what is offered and what is sought. IIT or IIM seats are in limited numbers, but admission seekers are in multiple times the availability of seats. Hence, entrance exam is conducted. This is the reason for NEET also. In many states, thousands of seats in engineering colleges are not getting filled, then there is no use of any entrance exam. This is because of the abundance, students want only a particular college hence to have merit based admission, and entrance exam helps.In aviation sector, there are many areas of skills and there is abundance of supply, and hence no entrance examination is conducted for vast majority of courses that impart skills to students. However, in miniscule cases when there is more demand than supply, institutions indeed resort to entrance exam to get best available talent.

The Aviation sector has been providing numerous job opportunities to graduates in India. In the past, in case of India, there weren't many courses that focused on the aviation sector and groomed students to take on roles in that sector. Usually, Graduates of any discipline used to apply for aviation jobs. They used to get trained after they were selected after an interview. At present, things have changed! There are many aviation sector oriented courses present, which cater to the needs of the aviation Industry! In this article, I will list some of the best Aviation field related courses, which students may pursue after finishing their class 12th schooling.
BBA course: It is a 3 year long Undergraduate management program. The good news is that many BBA programs allow students to specialize in certain area/discipline. In our case, it is a program that focuses on the running and management of an Airport. If one is keen on improving ones qualifications, then he/she may also go for an MBA Degree after completing this BBA program.
Diploma course lasts for 1 year and focuses solely on the area of Airport Management. While it does a better job in dealing with the technical details, when compared to BBA program, I must also admit that this Diploma Degree doesn't possess as much value as the BBA program does. A good way to solve this problem is by going for a Post Graduate Diploma in Airport Management after finishing any Graduation course.

Migrating to cloud computing is one of the current enterprise challenges. This technology provides a new paradigm based on on-demand payment for information and communication technologies. In this sense, the small and medium enterprise is supposed to be the most interested, since initial investments are avoided and the technology allows gradual implementation. However, even if the characteristics and capacities have been widely discussed, entry into the cloud is still lacking in terms of practical, real frameworks. This paper aims at filling this gap, presenting a real tool already implemented and tested, which can be used as a cloud computing adoption decision tool.
You can start from the beginning even if you have bit knowledge (strong command) over information technology. Hence, the scope is huge. The best thing is that you don't need any particular degree to work in this technology.

Hello,
To become an Aircraft Mechanic or an Aviation Technician, one gas to undergo three years AME course after completion of 10+2 with physics & mathematics. These courses are conducted by many institutions in India. In some places, there is entrance exam while at others admission is based on marks obtained in 12th exam. Once eligible, a student can select either of the two streams of mechanical or avionics. Merely passing the course does not make one eligible to work on the aircraft straight away. One needs to obtain a license issued by DGCA. Only license holders are allowed to work on aircraft. With the boom in the aviation sector, many Indian carriers have placed orders for aircraft. All these will require license holders to maintain. Thus in near to medium term prospects of AME are quite good. Depending on the company, one can expect a salary of about Rs. 50K.

Hello,
The Android development in on the rising mountain. The reason why Android has become so popular is that it allows users to have the best of mobile functionality with applications present on a touchscreen. Most of the Android developers work for companies in India, some of them are working as freelancers and very few are working on their own idea. According to me, you can go to NIIT to learn Android development if you have a strong command over Java development and application development. That's the eligibility to pursue Android from there. But if you think that you have had any knowledge regarding the same and you think that you have to start this from scratch then you may go to YouTube. There are a lot of channels available which may guide you to learn the basics of Android. Salary is also good. Initially, it could be low but as much as you increase your level, you slaty will also go up. Salaries start from Rs. 15,000 a month and range up to Rs. 18,000 a month, depending on the candidate's experience, expertise, and position sought for. And, considering the growth of Android development, job opportunities will grow in the country.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

FAA certificated graduates. When this happens (and it happens quite a lot), it is easy to get interviewed. Once you graduate and have your FAA ticket, then here is what happens. You come to the AFDTC student resource center at the school. Here, you will find a brand new copy of the World Aviation Directory, which is a book that contains the names, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, and you name it, of each and every airline in the world. We suggest that you pick maybe 20 or 30 airlines that you feel that you would like to be employed with. Then, you write a quick letter to each airline's Personnel Office, requesting a job application. For Flight Dispatchers, yearly average wages total $49K annually. Final cash compensation to Flight Dispatchers varies from around $26K to approximately $82K; choice pay grades include potential for bonuses and profit sharing as high as $5K and $10K, respectively. Experience level is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by geography. Men account for the majority of Flight Dispatchers who responded to the questionnaire 69 percent to be exact. While roughly a fourth report receiving no health benefits, a strong majority do receive medical coverage, and the greater part have dental, as well. Thank you.
