yeah brill fun....and that's what it is just fun for most of the time....the punters are literally here one day gone the next, same with the other crew members...new day every day/trip...no chance of busy bodies in your work life know what i mean...dirty job lol in more ways than one but the plus side make up for it 100%....i was going to study to become a solicitor then saw the ad and got the job first go and decided i'd do it for a year..lol i stayed for ever ...who wouldn't want to travel the world and stay in first class hotels at someone else's expense plus spend allowances while away from base....ba are recruiting and you can apply on line...i did recruitment/selection for a couple of yrs. ba uses good hotels in good parts of town down route for security etc however beware some of the smaller outfits do not. go for it....

Okay, thanks guys!

Just applied for an American Express, though not sure if we'd get it since we only got our last credit card about 4 months ago. If I'd known then that we'd be moving back...!

I bet the American airline companies are crap to work for. The standards are appalling compared to BA and Virgin.

TruBrit

meant to say that's nice you think of me...awwww....a friend works for continental and it's ok infact their staff travel is much better than ba infact most all airlines i think are better. ba's staff travel has always been crapola that's why i don't use it.

I think I'd have to take a pay cut at first though. I like Virgin better than BA but living where I do, unless I relocated and left the OH to fend for himself here at Uni, I'd probably have to work for US Airways over any of the others :scared:

Depends on the airline and the routes, domestic flights are crap, as is the money on flights to africa and india, get long lay overs, but sod all money as it's dirt cheap out there, money flights are to japan and Oz, because there long and you get a lot of spending money....and if you get to work first class in BA, you end up doing sod all work as everyone is a sleep....hard on ankles though and depending on language skills might have to do top up tests all the time, and also medical training and the like....but it all depends on the carrier....

Bob

the ritz in india was a dive, sister hated those routes, but now doesn't do them that often, gets a bunch of flights to san fran, boston and brazil, but does she bother with a visit or spend me stuff...the cow *lol*

Bob

BA family is shite, but the union is pretty impressive, you'd have to be a right munter to get canned from them....unlike with Qatar, Gulf air, Alitalia etc...
my sister said the best money was virgin, best benefits until all westerners were booted from qatar was qatar, and alitalia won for the uniform back then *l*
