Hi!
I am currently studying for my A-Levels at college. My ambition is to become a pilot, but am considering working as a flight attendant whilst I apply for sponsorship etc... I am really keen to work cabin crew or a year or two, primarily to travel and to meet new and interesting people etc along the way.
I currently work as a waitress in a restaurant part-time (which I really enjoy!), so I have experience of customer service (and good practice at being diplomatic!!)

What I am keen to find out is... Do many flight attendants progress on to become pilots? Is it a good idea to gain experience through working as cabin crew for a while or not? What do airlines look for in potential cabin crew?
Any information, advice and opinions would be gratefully recieved!!
Thanks,
George.
