I think we should ignore the previous post from BoeingBoy until it has been deleted...
XLA is a good place to work. Sure it has the usual dis-satisfied little campers, but where doesnt. Now is a good time to come aboard. As a rough indication last summer we let go about 90 seasonal cabin crew in Manchester, and over 3/4 of them are now back or lined up for upcoming courses.
Guess it depends what you are looking for in life. If you want week long trips to Tokyo on expenses, or frequent nightstops in Ibiza in the summer, then you will never be happy.
If you understand what the life of a hostie is really about then XLA at MAN is certainly a good place to work.
And interviewing on weekends means you people dont have to bunk off work midweek - why is that so strange?? If you think its strange that hosties work weekends then definitely dont bother applying!
Good luck
