I just had a pre-screening with northwest airlines for a cabin crew position.?

Question

The panel interview went well cos they seemed interested in me, asking questions, while they skipped the others i was with. We were all happy and smiling. Problem is, I have a tattoo at my lower back, (right side) do you think that will cancel out my chances? We have not had the medical yet, but if I get in, they will find out. Is northwest airlines strict with that?

Answer 1

Page 6 of the Northwest Manual for Employees, "...You will not be hired if you have a tattoo..."  It then goes on  to say, "However, three tattoos are acceptable..."

Kidding! You'll be fine.

Answer 2

Ok, how is anyone going to see it with the outfits that the flight attendants wear. I mean, unless you plan to take your shirt off for some reason, I see no reason that anyone would be able to see it..

Your more likely going to have to cut your hair a certain way than to have this done...

Answer 3

dont flight crew wear full shirts and pants or skirts?  i dont think they anyone would see your tatoo? did the interviewer see it?

Answer 4

The doctor who does the medical is bound by confidentiality and cannot disclose this kind of information.  Nobody will know you have a tattoo on your lower back unless you tell them or show them.
