Thanx Floaty,
I have worked for both Inclusive tour and scheduled airlines and am therefore able to advise my friend on the pro's and cons of the different types of airlines so she isn't without help on that score.
Her ultimate goal is to work on private aircraft, which I have about 14 year’s experience of myself. Yup I have been about a bit!
If she had a choice I would say go for scheduled airlines (better possible first class experience and for your CV if your goal is to work on private aircraft) although BA's basic salary is poor I know their allowances are good but I don't know about Virgin,
JAL or Quantas.
She has applied to BA but heard nothing as yet.
If she is offered a position with First Choice only then I would say go for it as it is all valuable experience and you can always move on to scheduled airlines later. (That's the route I took)
There doesn't seem to be much help on this forum ref. First Choice though.
I must say I wish I was her starting out. I've had a fab career in this business and envy her starting her new career.
Thanx for the time and trouble you took to respond to my thread it was very much appreciated.
Are you working for Virgin now Floaty? If so, are you enjoying it?
