Re: Applying
I guess they missed out on the code!! Do a search on airline codes and find out who got it.
In my day an open smile and a good attitude was all that was needed for the position of cabin crew, your future ambitions and current qualifications were interesting to hear about but didn't necessarily matter, it wasn't like a career then it was more a lifestyle choice.
As a gap year I'd go for casual or fixed contract employment.
