Thanks so much everyone for your advice.
I hadn't thought about the differing personalities and that's an interesting point. I think that flight crew are changing in that there are less and less ex-military guys out there who can be a bit rigid. Like I said, I feel it will make me a better pilot for having experienced working as cabin crew.
I am excited about it and really want to go for it. It is a relief to have some sort of positive thinking during this time when it is so f
g hard to get a flying job! Looking forward to it.
Thanks again.
