1st Cabin Crew, then ATPL - Can it work??

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent uni graduate and i'm now looking for my first 'proper' job. I am a PPL(A) holder and have every intention, since I first put feet on the pedals of a RAF Bulldog, of gaining my ATPL in the not too distant future.

Being a £10k+ in debt to the student loan sharks is not a great starting point so i would like to work my way out of that situation before embarking on whichever route I take to fATPL. The way i want to go is the most Airline/Aviation Industry friendly way possible. People have suggested that Cabin Crew would be an excellent job to embark on as it would provide me with great industry contacts, not to mention a greatly bolstered knowledge of the industry into which I want to end up in.

Would this be a good idea? If anyone is in the know, your wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Oli
