Worked as cabin crew for over 5 years at Virgin - now working on private jets and studying through bristol ground school for my atpl exams.
Seems a few people like to comment on a subject of which they have no experience of.
I personally found flying as cabin crew to be invaluable as far as making contacts went. Gained a lot of advice and realized what it was like to fly for an airline. Virgin was definately work hard and play hard. Even led to flying in a A340 sim with an initially self sponsored training capt. who remembered the position he was once in.
The money is not great but the opportunity to work in the aviation industry whilst you're studying, building hours and having drinks with saucy stewardesses makes up for it (!)
