Also to ANDYCOOL.... I dont think anyone is stupid enough to think that becomming a flight attendant will make you money! Those days are long gone no matter where in the world you are! As others have said you go to Etihad for the experience of living in a different country, doing the job we love and having some decent layovers! Im not sure what Ryanair is like but in my current company layover are very few and when we do get them its usually somewhere horrible!!!
