Me too.. Was Cabin Crew for Britannia/Thomsonfly.. Did my PPL very cheaply on their company PA28's.. Excellent instruction/aircraft/price.. Then went on to do the commercial stuff and returned to the cabin while job hunting.. Get in the Flight Deck as much as you can for T/O and landing and get to talk to the guys up there( without peeing off the purser
).. Continued to hour build on the Warrior.. Got a job with VLM now with XL on the 767.. Good luck!!
