Does anyone know if an airline would employ as cabin crew an insulin diabetic? ie 12 months controlled diabeti
Question:
Answers:
No diabetics are not allowed to be cabin crew. I have applied and been turned down for being diabetic. It is very logical and non-discriminative.
If you are on a long haul flight and need some food, there is nowhere to go for it. Cabin crew need to be fit enough to look after the passengers and not have to worry about their own needs.
You can work within the airport though if this is any consolation.
Other jobs us diabetics can't do are - paramedics, doctors within a hospital and nurses doing the long demanding shifts, police force or any armed forces. Anything that implies that others depend on you or situations that would put your diabetes at risk.
Hope this helped.
I know that she would never be able to become a commercial pilot even if controlled but I do not believe there are such regulations on cabin crews. Check the ADA website, it is a very good resource for this.
