Hi, I would like to apply to become cabin crew at BA but will my allergy be a barrier for this?

Thank you for reaching out! We understand your concern, and we want to ensure your safety throughout the recruitment process. We are currently looking into your question and are working with the relevant teams to get a response. We will be in touch with an update as soon as we can.

In the meantime, please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

Hello, could you let us know more details about your allergy - for example, is it only with longer exposure, or with any contact at all?

If it's just about time in the water, we can look at a one-to-one session to keep this to a minimum. If it's any level of chlorine, we would need to explore a non-chlorinated pool, which is possible but trickier to arrange. Once we know a bit more, we can guide you on the next steps.

Hi,

Upon discussing with my doctor, I’m also allergic to chemicals found in non chlorinated pools, is the swimming part of the recruitment process a mandatory requirement or are there exceptions to the rule, if not (which I completely understand) then I think I am leaning towards a role on the ground.

Thank you for taking the time to find an answer for my question.

Much Appreciated
