Oh well it just proves the many weird and wonderful ways there are!
I think someone has misunderstood the thread...
Working as Cabin Crew, I imagine, must have pros and cons. Being in the aviation industry gives you a chance to talk to pilots, many of whom have their ear to the ground as regards recruitment in various airlines. There are other jobs besides C/C, though - working in ops, crewing, dispatch etc. If you are qualified for another more lucrative job, then a potential employer might ask why you didn't work in that field before trying to become a pilot.
Good luck!
