Air Canada rouge begins recruitment drive

Air Canada rouge recruitment starts today (Jan. 31) for its first 150 flight attendants. The airline’s first in-flight recruitment campaign is targeted to people who will be based in Toronto and the GTA and ideally “have customer service/hospitality experience, excellent language skills and a passion for travel.”According to officials, the inaugural team of flight attendants will have the unique opportunity to help shape Air Canada rouge from the ground up as planning continues and service to Europe and the Caribbean starts on July 1. “Our in-flight crews will be the heart of Air Canada rouge. Every day of our customers’ vacation is treasured so we want to give them a safe, enjoyable and memorable start and end to their holiday,”said Michael Friisdahl, president and CEO of Air Canada rouge. “We’re looking for fun, dynamic, likeminded (and styled) people to offer warm, welcoming service.”For a complete description of the ideal attributes and minimum requirements, Air Canada rouge invites candidates to visit http://www.aircanadarouge.com , a recruitment site that also offers links to more information about the new leisure airline.
