Cabin crew students take flight with British Airways

Two travel and cabin crew students from Solihull College & University Centre are set to embark on careers with British Airways.

Francesca Barker, 19 from Smethwick, and Georgia-Dee Clifton, 18 from Warwickshire, are set to take their first flights in September after successfully applying and passing interviews with the airline.

Both will now undergo an intensive summer of training before taking to the skies, where they will put into practice everything they learned during their college course.

Georgia-Dee said: “I went on a lot of flights when I was younger and loved travelling.

“On the plane, I would look at the cabin crew and dreamed to be them one day.

“Everything we 've been doing at the College is now going to actualise in our dream job. I 'm so excited to learn about the different cultures of the world. ”

Francesca said: “I 'm now going to be paid to travel and do what I love, I look forward most to helping customers and making sure they have a nice experience with us. ”

“This course has given us a really good insight of what the job will be like and the support from our lecturers has been excellent. ”
