Back to: The Cabin Crew Interview Made Easy – Curbside
At the beginning of each lesson, you’ll be greeted with a bright yellow Arrivals marker.
Arrivals is your “You are here” cue-card. Each Arrivals board gives you a word count and an estimated minimum reading time. These are just estimates and you’ll need extra time to pause, reflect, and complete a task or two.

Accompanying every lesson is full audio narration, with playback controls pinned to the top of your screen so you can scroll, read, and listen all at once.

Case Study
Each lesson begins with a Case Study. This is your jumpseat pass to deadhead my journey: the chance to see the challenges, lessons, and turning points that took me from 19 rejections to success with Emirates.
These case studies develop your crew mindset, training the awareness you’ll need in the jumpseat: noticing, analysing, anticipating, and adapting. They’re also your first step toward understanding how recruiters think and what gets you hired.
Modelled on a cabin crew pre-flight briefing, Pre-Lesson Briefing, is the “why” behind the lesson — what it covers, and how it connects to your journey.

Purple Coaching Boxes
Collectively, purple boxes are core reflections, and actionable insights. When revising, follow the purple route if you’re looking for key lessons and practical takeaways.
Purple boxes include debriefs and coaching cues.
Think of the Debrief as that quick chat on the jet bridge after landing. This is where we unpack what just happened, add interesting backstory, and see how it connects to the lesson ahead.
Think of Coaching Cues as a post-flight performance review with the senior crew. “Here’s what went right, here’s what tripped us up, and here’s how to handle it next time.” These are the practical lessons, tips, and reflections you can use in your interview.

Green Coaching Boxes
Collectively, green boxes represent philosophies. When revising, follow the green route to shift your thinking, adopt new perspectives, and understand the mindset behind the actions.
Philosophies are the mindset shifts that help you navigate airline recruitment with a new perspective.
Think Like a Recruiter is your backstage pass to the interview room. In essence, you’re deadheading from the recruiter’s perspective. Peek over their shoulder, watch how they size up candidates, and understand what makes a “yes” versus a “thanks, but no thanks.”
Think Like an Airline is your captain’s view of the operation. Discover the invisible logic behind each decision and task, and why it all matters to the airline.

Pink Coaching Boxes
Collectively, pink boxes represent habit-building tasks. When revising, follow the pink route if you want to put theory into practice, develop practical skills, and take concrete steps.
Behave Like Cabin Crew shows you how to reframe your approach, swap hesitation for instinct, and tackle each challenge like a seasoned crew member.
Crew Crosscheck is where you step into recruiter mode, turning observation into action. Examine the choices, identify key takeaways, and translate them into concrete actions you can use.
Task Card is your homework. Complete each activity to practice real-world skills, polish your professional presence, and take measurable steps toward being airline-ready.

General Coaching Boxes
Stop Thinking Like an Applicant is about spotting the habits and thought patterns that keep you trapped in “I hope they like me” mode. You’ll learn where you might misread a task, obsess over the wrong details, and fall into the common traps and assumptions that separate applicants from crew.
Ground(ed) School is your operational manual to airline recruitment — the verified, unembellished facts and operational insight, giving you a solid foundation in how airlines actually work. In essence, get grounded into reality.
Old Wives are the myths, misconceptions, and outdated advice that can steer you wrong. Treat them like a “remove before flight” tag — know them, recognise them, and jettison them before takeoff.
Simulated Scenarios make abstract ideas concrete. They offer alternative viewpoints, so you can explore a situation fully and understand the nuances you might otherwise miss.
And that about sums it up. Each box speaks for itself, and it will all fall neatly into place as you move through the course. Don’t be tempted to skip sections — even the safety demo matters and the devil lives in the details.
