Number one is to make sure that whatever company you want to work for considers line to be a career position.
From my experiences, signature flight support surely blew it at dulles when the line guys realized that signature does not consider it a career positon and bailed leaving unqualified guys to work a busy ramp.
There is not much incentive to grow and advance when the positions are not considered "career".
Who you work for is as important as what you choose to do.
My condolences to any 604 challenger pilot who rolls up to Signature Dulles a few times a week an never gets the same fueler twice because it's not a career position.
Not recognizing someone on the ground crew at a place you stop many times a week does not inspire confidence in the hearts of the flight crew.
