How to Succeed for the Flight Attendant’s Group Dynamics Interview?
After passing the initial assessment to be a flight attendant, there will also be the group dynamics or group interview wherein the recruiters will see how you are as a team member.
Why do airlines conduct group dynamics interview? The reason is they want to know your team work skills - How you will work with other people? With people you just met on that day? Because the reality of being a flight attendant is to work with different kind of people everyday. Also, with a thousand of applicants the group interview will lessen their time and it’s cost effective. And they want to compare and see you with the other applicants, of whom they’ll pick and not.

That is my suggestion. How about you Rebecca? Where will you take our guest”
