  • Announce flight arrivals, departures, and boarding information via the public address system
  • Handle concerns with empathy and solve guest challenges with empowerment
  • Assist in grooming the aircraft which can include light cleaning of seats, seat-pockets, and floor
  • Maintain eye contact and smiling with each of our guests and coworkers
  • Demonstrate a positive attitude and commitment to teamwork in a friendly, caring and  atmosphere

An ideal applicant will possess these essential qualifications and skills:

  • A positive and passionate personality, with the natural ability to communicate with people
  • A demonstrated proficiency with computers, and recent experience working within a Windows based software environment
  • Personal flexibility to work shift work which includes early mornings, days, late evenings, weekends, and holidays

  • Fluency in the English language, both oral and written
  • An ability to meet all conditions of employment:
    • Restricted Area Pass issued by Transport Canada
    • Post offer employment test to test physical ability and fit for position
    • A criminal background check
