Cabin Crew health care follow specific guidelines, which vary on the airline employer. And while most, if not all airlines offer health care, many of them won’t pay if you get sick. That’s right, if you get sick you likely won’t receive paid time off. Here’s what to do if your healthcare doesn’t offer sick pay.

Make sure you know and understand your health care coverage

Don’t wait until you get sick to understand what’s covered and what isn’t. The last frustration you want to deal with is finding out your doctor doesn’t take your health insurance and you have no sick pay. Or worse, your health insurance doesn’t cover what you need! Make sure you know and understand your health care coverage and your sick time.

Know the restrictions of your health care coverage

Your maternity leave might cover a housing allowance and nothing else. In fact, if you’re out of work for more than six months, you may be required to be re-trained. If that’s the case, that means you won’t have any paid time off or health care coverage until your training is complete. These are limitations you want to know about ahead of time and prepare for.

Policies change often

The good news is some policies are changing for the better. The bad news is, are you prepared for those changes? What will you do to secure your income, health, etc? How will you supplement your income if you need to? These are the questions you want to have answers to.
