Hi 2ndchance,
This is Emmy Lou and I too am in the same position as yourself.
I applied to be an In Flight Beauty Therapist 5 years ago and made it all the way through the interview day but was not offered a position. My circumstances also changed but wanting to join Virgin didn't!
I have just re-applied to be an IFBT and been invited to interview in Jan!
Now, unlike last time, I am married and have a mortgage! I have been lecturing in Beauty Therapy and have been well paid.
Have you found out any info regarding your questions as I was hoping to know a little more before I go to interview but have not had any answers yet!

I have thought about it ever since and may try again but have a few niggling questions. I have recently got married and wondered if many cabin crew have husbands/wifes and how the travelling & time away from home affects your relationships. Does your partner often have the opportunity to travel with you?
Also, I am in a very well paid but very dull job at the moment. I am prepared to adjust to a new salary but is it very difficult salary wise when you don't get many flights? How many flights would you do a month for example?
Can anyone tell me what the monthly average pay is?
Thanks for your help - I need to make a decision soon!
