well done for you. I wanted to do longer flights when I started rather than the "same old Manchesters etc" but if you haven't flown before then the only advice I can give you is don't run before you can walk. It's great to look forward and say you want that in the future, but if its yor 1st flying job then you will find it hard to adjust to the lifestyle to begin with as all new crew do. However I hope to see you on a longhaul flight from LHR or MAN very soon. Best of luck
