Things a bit different over here Roberta...at BA we retire at 55 (although a few, mostly ex-BCAL cabin crew, can go on until 60 due to differing contracts). Also, BA only recruit up until the age of 50 & this has only been in the last 3-4 years. Many others here only recruit cabin crew up to 30 - 40 years old and with Virgin Atlantic you've no chance after you're 28!
