Started training at 32, modular (back to back) 05/2001. Finished MCC 01/2003. Then one season as Cabin Crew for a large charter outfit (no luck in networking with them from the inside), then 2.5 years as Flight Dispatcher. Got into a holding pool for a TP job yesterday.

Four things to keep in mind:
1/ CVs on their own are useless (unless you get real lucky)
2/ Get an airside job (typically dispatcher or FI) and start networking
3/ Never miss a chance to talk or pass a CV to the right person
4/ Never give up. Ever.

Cheers
