launch of service to Europe and the Caribbean
TORONTO, Jan. 31, 2013 /CNW/ - Ready for takeoff? Air Canada rouge
recruitment starts today for the first 150 flight attendants for
Canada's new stylishly affordable leisure airline based at Toronto's
Pearson Airport.
The airline's first inflight 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. 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, 2013.
"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. And you can do all of this all while travelling with close
friends…your fellow flight attendants."

largely define Air Canada rouge. And where does it all start? With
hiring people who truly enjoy engaging with travelers of all ages and
interests," he said.
