She admitted that the aviation industry is currently experiencing difficulties in business operations, but she still has great hopes for airport work. "First of all, even the airport security has been buried.

Cathay Pacific flight attendant was laid off and she was mentally prepared to change jobs

Ms. Hu, a 20-year-old former Cathay Pacific flight attendant who was just laid off, went to the scene to look for a new job. She said that after receiving the notice last week, she was calm and devoted herself to the application. She temporarily sent 3 job applications, mainly customers Service work, "I have been working for a year, and I have always been in a seniority. I don’t have enough patience. I have a special affection for the company. I think it shouldn’t be too difficult to hire a job." She continued. During the epidemic, the number of flights has been drastically reduced, and I have only been "on call" to work three times in the past few months. Most of the time I can only wait for work arrangements. I have already been mentally prepared to change jobs. "So I have already asked for work before. I’ve never been able to do it wholeheartedly.”

Airport work attracts workers to stay in aviation-related industries

Cathay Pacific provides compensation for the laid-off employees, but Ms. Hu has only one year's experience and the amount of compensation is not too much. She admits that she currently has to rely on her family for the time being. "Good luck, I don’t want to pay the rent. It’s because you can’t go out to eat and eat, stay in the house every day, and you can barely endure a month.” She emphasized that she still loves working at the airport, “I’ve always been high-handed, and even the airport security company has a job. I can do some airport work." When asked if she wanted to be a flight attendant again, she had a different personal opinion, "Hong Kong Airlines has its own unique features. If she asks someone again, I really want to do it; but Greater Bay Area Airlines, I don’t even know what it is, I don’t really want to try it.”

It is known that the airport security company currently has about 4,400 positions, and it will hire more than 6,000 people in the next two years, mainly to meet the needs of cargo transportation and prepare for the future operation of the airport's three-runway.

Approximately 2,000 additional positions were recruited and expected to be put into service within two years.

At the job fair, people of different ages at the airport security counters came to inquire, and the response was overwhelming.
