Hiya,
VA are honestly not what they are cracked up to be, I work as Crew at LGW and have had a lot of friends who were hosties for VS.
They get paid £9.5000 p/a, and they only get flight allowance paid by the sector, which averages at around £25 per sector.
I earn a lot more by working part-time for a charter airline, earn flight allowance by the hour, and earn commission on duty free and drinks.
