Glad someone has brought this up, as similar thoughts have crossed my mind and I am sure many others.
How about if the situtation is reversed, you gain your frozen ATPL, then you go to the airlines and apply for a cabin crew position, hoping you can make the necessary contacts in the business to get employed as a pilot. Would they see this as inititive, or blagging it?
Personally, if I was employed as cabin crew, I would work hard and take the job seriously and give it 100%. However, in the back of mind, I have thought that airlines may take the attitude this guy onlys want the flight deck and may take a relaxed approach to the cabin crew job?
Any opinions please?
