Positive vibes from the crew that are fortunate enough to work for flightline, males & females.......
There is however rumours in the old boy network (and from sources within) that they do favour Female cabin crew as alot of their high yield work is private/corporate/VIP and as such needs a "glamour" touch.
Hope your friend is not too disheartened as there are plenty more openings for the right calibre of person elsewhere.
