Get real !!!!
The cabin crew job IS "below" the status of a pilot, as you put it...I didn't spend a royal fortune and many years getting experience to serve cofee and tea.
If your previous experience has helped you - Good for you, but don't give us that bullsh.t
It takes a long time to become an experienced pilot, it takes about two days to become a CA - Sorry buddy, that's a fact of life !!
I enjoy all my collegues in the cabin, but I wouldn't swap jobs - I'm overqualified !!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually Cabin Crew training is a min 5 weeks at the moment (oh and that's 6 day weeks btw) with exams most days, so even you wouldn't get by on 2 days (and most of us can spell too!)
If you've ever been on a CRM course then I'm sure that you do know that cabin crew are actually there to deal with a lot more than refreshments.
They are there to deal with the SLF in an emergency and keep them off your backs while you deal with the metal
They will even oblige by opening the doors ensuring that you don't have to try to squeeze your inflated ego out through a flight deck emergency hatch/window
Oh and yes in extreme circumstances they've even laid down their lives to stop access to the flight deck
You're not 'overqualified' for the role of cabin crew, you obviously don't even have the basic requirements
Cabin crew provide a safe, secure, pleasant environment for the pax, this includes being able to respect and appreciate all human values, we do not discriminate, especially not based on how much qualifications cost (there's a lot of cc that would love to fly if they could afford it) just because you've been fortunate enough to pay to get your job, don't judge others, your job is not who you are, that IS something that you need to spend time and effort working on!
Please tell me that there aren't really any pilots left flying that believe cabin crew is a worthless position, if there are, then these are the very people that SHOULD sign up as crew, you could learn a LOT!
And girls please watch out for this guy that 'enjoys' his colleagues
