Thai Airways International plans to recruit up to 600 new graduates as flight attendants to serve its network expansion ahead of the high season, which includes returning to Moscow and adding other destinations.
THAI president Charamporn Jotikasthira said yesterday that the airline aimed to hire qualified persons aged 24-30, or "first jobbers".
They will be working under a three-year contact plus a three-year extension. The contact will end when they reach 30, meaning that applicants' ages will be 24-27.
Employing young people or first-jobbers is the new trend in aviation. This has already happened at many other airlines, but it will be the first time for Thai Airways.
The airline also expects that short-term staff will gain working and travel experience while learning best service practices at the national carrier.
They could apply all this at their new jobs.
One of the airline's executives said hiring first-jobbers on short contracts could help the airline save on personnel expenses and overall operating costs compared with taking on permanent employees.
The airline says it will post the openings on its web?site very soon.
