Utair flight attendants. New uniform of Rossiya Airlines. Criteria that determine a flight attendant's earnings

Which airline's flight attendants are the most stylish among those serving Belarusian passengers? The portal asked this question immediately after the January premiere of the new uniform of the national operator Belavia. Readers of the portal have the opportunity to compare and make their choice.

It is curious that the previous uniform served the flight attendants of the national airline of Belarus for three years. recent years. This is not much, especially considering that, for example, for the flight attendants of the Russian Aeroflot, the current wardrobe is the fourth in a row since 2000. And the Germans from Lufthansa change the uniform for stewards and pilots once every ten years.

So, who is the cutest and most elegant in the sky?

Austrian Airline (Austria)

Austrian Airlines AG is “assigned” to Vienna international airport and Innsbruck International Airport Kranebitten. It was created in 1957. Part of the shares of Austrian Airlines belongs to Lufthansa.

Austrian Airlines' color scheme has always been "red-white-red". And the flight attendants of this airline are also “women in red.” They even have red tights!

Air Baltic Corporation is a joint stock company with almost 20 years of history and the state as the main owner. In 2011, the carrier served more than 3.3 million passengers.

The Latvian air carrier's signature color is light green. In this connection, there will definitely be at least some element of such coloring in the flight attendant’s uniform.

Czech Airlines (Czech Republic)

CSA Czech Airlines- national airline Czech Republic, based at Prague Vaclav Havel Airport. The company operates flights throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and also operates charter flights and freight transport.

Almost all UAE citizens are Muslims. Is it any wonder that the uniforms of the Etihad Airways crews contain corresponding motifs?

El Al (Israel)

El Al (“El Al”) is an Israeli airline formed in the late 1940s. After privatization in 2004, it ceased to be state-owned. A special feature of flying with this air carrier is the need to undergo profiling - an interview with an El Al security officer before boarding the plane, as well as additional control of baggage and hand luggage.

The uniform of local flight attendants is as strict as aviation regulations. But politeness is also at its best.

Georgian Airways (Georgia)

The airline was founded in 1993 as a private entity, initially bearing the name Airzena. Her specialization was charter flights to China, Egypt and other countries.

The flight attendants themselves note that they now remind themselves of American flight attendants of the 60s.

Perfectly ironed uniforms, girls and young men always collected and polite. Even if you are afraid of flying, they help you remain calm and confident. The romance of flights and the profession of a flight attendant in today's everyday life of flights is still popular among school and university graduates. But what about the financial prospects and what is the salary of a flight attendant?

Criteria that determine a flight attendant's earnings

Before determining what the salary is for each employee, it is worth listing several factors that directly affect its level. Namely:

the country in which the person works, in particular its industrial level;
the degree of development of this industry;
the size and authority of the airline and the course it is pursuing to improve operating conditions;
route and type of flights;
level of education, and specifically knowledge of foreign languages;
experience.

Real salary of a flight attendant in Russia

As a flight attendant, you will undoubtedly climb the career ladder. A newcomer and anyone transferring from another airline have the same level of income.

Newly hired employees after specialized training have an initial level of earnings of 15-20 thousand rubles. per month. Gradually, as you master the profession, your experience and the number of hours in flight increase, therefore, your salary increases to an average of 50-60 thousand per month. Employees with the highest qualifications, over time, reach an earnings level of 80 to 100 thousand rubles. Payment for an hour in flight is about 4,000. In addition, some airlines create a system of bonuses for the quality of work performed.

Steps when assigning a level wages are defined as follows:

Level 1 – third class flight attendant (30 hours of flight time as a trainee);
Level 2 – second class flight attendant (2000 hours of flight time and passing the exam);
Level 3 – first class flight attendant (3000 hours in flight and absolute mastery of passenger service technology);
Level 4 – senior flight attendant;
Level 5 – head of service.

If you believe the statistics, approximately 60 thousand rubles per month are paid for the services of a guide in Russia. There is also an upward trend. It is not surprising that the city of Moscow has the highest average salary for a flight attendant – 64 thousand. However, there is a dependence of salaries on a specific airline.

Three companies have gained great popularity: Aeroflot, Transaero and UTair. Aeroflot, the largest in the airline industry, pays its employees more than Transaero and UTair.

As already mentioned, many airlines provide great opportunities for their employees and their families. This list first of all includes a colossal discount when purchasing tickets, up to a 5-fold reduction. Without a doubt, travel enthusiasts can consider these discounts as an addition to their salary. It can’t be done without a part-time job. Charter commercial flights ordered by large companies with higher prices. However, if the charter is booked for summer holiday, then this is also an opportunity for a free holiday in relation to the payment of the flight.

But in some airlines, even if they have the required number of flight hours, a flight attendant is not able to earn even the monthly minimum that is usually paid in the giants of the airline industry. Very often this can be seen in non-metropolitan companies that organize transportation between regional centers.

To fly or not to fly

The main disadvantage is the heavy load on the body when at altitude. This means being on your feet for a long time and a feeling of freedom, which makes it very difficult in the future to psychologically and physically adapt to the normal course of life. But all these and other provoking factors do not prevent the desire to occupy such a position.

The job of a flight attendant remains one of the most in demand and competitive, even despite all its complexity. What attracts potential employees to this position? First of all, flexible schedule, fairly long-term vacation, opportunity free travel Worldwide. Therefore, if routine office work is not to your taste, you should think about devoting yourself to the romance of flying.

Stewardess…. How much has merged in this sound for the Russian heart... Oh yes, what are we talking about, actually. And we, in fact, today are talking about the uniform of flight attendants of the domestic aviation market. For we have all at least once flown on airlines and met face to face with these beautiful, I’m not afraid of this epithet, servants of Aphrodite. And, indeed, to whom, if not to Aphrodite, should we appeal when we talk about the faces of airlines, which in turn are the face of the country (isn’t it too pompous?). Exactly according to appearance flight attendants, all of us, including foreign guests, form the first impression of the country.

Well, it’s time, as they say, to get specific. Top 10 best, most beautiful uniforms for flight attendants of Russian airlines.

And, in my opinion, there is nothing to discuss here, it goes to Aeroflot. And not at all because the largest airline in our country has repeatedly won competitions in the category “most beautiful flight attendant”, organized by European airline magnates, in particular Aeronautics, Skyscanner and others. And, first of all, because the most famous Russian designers, starting with Yudashkin, Adriyanova and ending with Bunakova & Khokhlov, have always had a hand in creating the uniforms of Aeroflot flight attendants. And the entire line was sewn at the most expensive Italian manufactories (my money - I want it and I spend it ©). The latest rebranding of Aeroflot uniforms, in bright red (for summer version) and dark blue (for winter version) colors, was designed by Bunakova, a graduate of the iconic St. Petersburg “Mukha” (now the St. Petersburg State Academy of Arts and Industry named after A.L. Stieglitz) and Khokhlov and was later named the most stylish uniform project of the year among all European airlines.

The uniform of the flight attendants of the Siberian giant deservedly goes to them S7. Since 2013, the bright turquoise color of the suits has been invariably associated with the corporate style of Sibir. The bright light green color that dominated until 2013 has gone into accessories - men's ties and women's bows, as attributes of summer uniforms. It is known that the design of the S7 uniform was developed by the team of the famous designer Alexander Terekhov, in whose outfits both stars of domestic show business and world-famous luminaries appear, for example, Angelina Jolie and even Celine Dion.

The project of another Mukha graduate Irina Kutyreva flies away, and we have a wonderful rebranding of the flight attendant uniform Aircraft number 1, as you guessed, the President of the Russian Federation. Unlike Aeroflot and S7, Air Force One, for obvious reasons, is not the most public organization and throwing money away left and right, attracting Italian tailors and the most expensive designers, is not accepted here. The project was implemented strictly within the framework of Federal Law 44 and the airline’s approved annual budget for uniforms. The project was completed within the walls of Mrs. Kutyreva’s Studio Bellissima atelier. An ideal color palette, an original design solution, absolute recognition and preserved functionality. We do not forget that flight attendants are primarily service employees, on whose shoulders is the hard work of ensuring the safety of passengers, and not at all the functionality of priestesses of Dionysus a la hostesses. The company was recognized as the best supplier of Air Force One over the past 10 years.

Uniform of flight attendants of Air Force One of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. Designer I. Kutyreva, Studio Bellissima

Belongs to the uniform of the oldest aviation giant who died untimely "Transaero", which can only be regretted, because according to the laws of the world economy, mergers and acquisitions do not develop business, but kill it. Well, if we talk about the uniform of Transaero flight attendants, then even after 3 years of bankruptcy of the airline, the warehouse remains of its uniform continued to be in great demand in the secondary sales market - among charter companies that bought uniforms from the government procurement website, altered the chevrons on them to their own, and showed off their flight attendants in this premium lookbook. The uniform design was developed by the largest Swiss manufacturer of special and uniform clothing, Jacob Weil, which has a century-old history. Later, in 2013, the rebranding of the Moscow Aeroexpress uniform was developed there.

Yes, yes, your eyesight does not deceive you, the edges of the dress were stitched by gold seamstresses, exactly as it was done on the dresses of the Tsar’s courtiers or the uniforms of the highest general ranks of Tsarist Russia. The uniform was naturally sewn according to individual measurements. No mass tailoring.

Flight attendant uniforms Red Wings. Since 2015, the signature salmon palette, from soft pink to contrasting magenta, according to the authors of the project, should symbolize elegance, femininity, beauty and personify a high level of passenger service. The design of the uniform belongs to the young Moscow designer Tatyana Snezh-Lebedeva.

Rebranding flight attendant uniforms AK "Russia" 2017'. This declared discovery of the year did not make much of an impression on me. After the rebranding, we see the unexpectedly blue color of the uniform, and not the traditional Navi, but ultramarine from a can, which, of course, “symbolizes reliability and stability” and seems like the sky, but here’s how it fits with the livery of the airliner, the color scheme of which doesn’t have a single gram “sky” and the intricate identity of which already raised more questions and skepticism among the professional community than if the liner had simply been repainted black. This usually happens when “their own designers and fashion designers” are involved in the implementation of a task, I thought, and after digging around on the airline’s website, I discovered that this is the case - the authors and designers of the uniform project were the company’s full-time employees, namely the quality control department: ) Quite an interesting solution for largest airline a country that spent almost 9.5 million rubles on the overall rebranding of corporate identity, but at the same time entrusted the rebranding of uniforms to people who had nothing to do with the industrial design of clothing, nor its design or production. The solution is nevertheless bright; the completeness of the flight attendants’ uniform will be the envy of any airport (almost 3 dozen pieces of uniform). Therefore, a solid 6th place. I do not rule out that my opinion does not coincide with the opinion of not only the editors, but also the opinion of the airline employees.

Flight attendant uniform "Victory". A subsidiary of Aeroflot. First of all, it is worth noting that this is not a form of Victory, but of Dobrolyot, which left the aviation market due to certain well-known circumstances (in the tasks this review coverage of these circumstances is not included). One can note the rather bright color scheme of the Pobeda/Dobrolyot uniform, which is in compositional balance with the overall corporate style of the airline. The uniform design was done by the British company Landor Associates (oh yeah, don't ask about the prophets in your own country).

Awarded to flight attendant uniforms « Ural Airlines» . On the one hand, a decent shape. Judge for yourself. Classic airline blue, in this case dark blue. (in another variation - a combination of a dark blue jacket with a red, almost magenta-colored, skirt). Bright decorative elements. Dresses, hats, badges, everything is in place, in an ensemble. So in the official releases. In fact, half of the composition is equipped with uniforms in different colors, and not just in halftone, but Navi suddenly turns into outright gray-black. And, of course, this is not a form different years, and, apparently, already the features of mass tailoring (additional tailoring) or budget deficit. In addition, the company’s employees are obviously forced to buy the missing elements of uniforms from each other, newcomers from those who have quit (all social networks are full of offers from some “aviaurals” selling uniforms, and others trying to buy them cheaper, it’s just a flea market) , which obviously indicates a rather pragmatic approach of the company to providing employees with uniforms.

AK Aurora flight attendant uniform. Another subsidiary airline of Aeroflot, based in the Far East. The brand was also developed by the above-mentioned Landor Associates. According to the head of the Russian representative office of Landor, the visualization of the corporate identity arose as an association from rock paintings Far East. Do you have any associations with archeology or geology when looking at the shape of Aurora? I have none. And the shape is not bad.

Form of bankruptcy in 2017 "VIM-Avia" nothing special; many associated it with the gray form of Russian Railways. In 2015, some attempt was made to rebrand the flight attendant uniform, as a result of which bright decorative elements appeared: loops made with red threads, red “pills” (headdresses), red gloves and a red button on the sleeves of jackets. It’s a so-so solution, but nevertheless it forms a certain vision of corporate style. Final 10th place.
