I am a flight attendant, have been flying for just on 5 years (combination short haul and long haul). By aviation standards thats not a very long time, but even after that time I still have the passion for my job and the industry - I am still thinking/tempted to go get my PPL and move up from there.
Unfortunately, to so many of my colleagues, this is just a job - something to do until they get what they want - whereas for me its the industry I will be in until the day I die...
The question is - who or what breeds this lack of longevity? Airline management? Airline recruitment departments? Gen-Y'ers with no work ethic?
From a flight attendant point of view, I would like to see more done to encourage people to see this as a career, as opposed to a short term job...
