Hi Richter
How are you ? Well i am still flying for a lo-co at my local airport, my personal experience is that it is hard work and you do have !!!!ty passengers, but there are also very good times to be had.
If you do a long day, like Edi and Alc but have good crew the day is brill, you have a laugh and have a sense of pride in your role, but if you have mardy crew it can be hell.
When i first started i hated it so much, i actually left, but then a bomb hit me, and i realised it wasn't so much the job, but some of the crew there, you all know the ones, people who think they are it, always thinking they are going to get of with the captain and live in a 5 bed david wilson home and live a life of luxury ( not ), you know what i mean.
I only work for a lo-co but it is good fun, if i was 15 years younger- i wish i would have started with a lo-co for a couple of years to get the experience and them and insight and then move onto long haul to really see the world.
The only snag in this job is if you are in a relation ship, i am and it does at times cause problems, but being away from home all the time i bet that it is really hard.
The pay is good, my company you do tend to get good rosters at times !!!!
We also get staff travel all aroung europe and also discounted long haul trips around the world and i have met some wonderful people in my 2 years of flying.
On another level now, are you flying this year rich ? let me know, love to have coffee
Michael
