thanks to both for your replies!
Well my best friend's dad is the chief purser for the airline so I might be able to get in with that - plus the chairman is a family friend

It's just so confusing to make a big decision like that in such a short time, but I think I will stay here for uni.
Just one more question - this summer I worked as a customer service representative at Malta Intl. airport (3 months). (My plan for being a steward was to become one for the coming 3 summers so maybe they would see it as "worth it".) If I do become one for the summer months, do you think all this work (working at an airport and being a steward) would be a colourful all-round work experience in the industry - and an attractive one by an employer of an airline?
thanks again!
