Not too many positive repies on here about flying for a living.....
It's a big gamble with a large sum of cash. Avaition jobs are never guaranteeed, and there will always be a large number of applicants for each and every single job going......
It's a pain getting up and some stupid hour to go to work when everyone else is asleep, and it's a pain having a rather unsociable lifestyle when you have to get an early night while all your mates are out on the town...
HOWEVER - the view out of my office window is absolutely bloomin mavellous, and having done the 9-5 job, it's something I wouldn't give up for the world.
Yes, there are low cost airlines giving out low cost lifestyles. Wherever you work you will have problems with your job. A job is what you make it, and if you really love flying and can;t imagine yourself doing anything else, go for it!!
If you're looking for a job that gives you lots of dosh for little work, stay away!
