When I began my career in the air 23 years ago it was probably one of the most exciting things I thought would ever happen to me (I would have done it for free)! I'm sure this is the feeling many young people get today even with the drop in (relative) pay and erosion of conditions, it's a great job and you get to work with some of the most diverse personailties you could ever meet. I was originally going to do it for a year or so, get a couple of cheap trips under my belt and move on to a real life, alas, I became addicted and it's one drug I never regret taking!
I envy those that will be flying for the first time, OZjet would be wonderful starting point (good ol' fashion service and a sense of pride in your product).
Go for it guy's, it's a good thing.
