I think its ronnie and Michael who need the attitude correction. I take it flying a GV that you don't work for a major airline Mike? Well good luck with your transition to being an FA but you might just find that you suck at it. There's a whole lot more to the job than being smiley and happy and nice to people, and its rather condescending of you to suggest that you'll just slot in to the job because you happen to be a 'pilot with a personality'. Have you ever worked in the service industry at all? As for your Ronnie, if you had the ability to read and analyse my post properly you would notice that I did not express any personal opinion on the subject, just stated facts. I don't care if you're an FA, an astronaut, a brain surgeon, gay, straight, white, black, red or green. In the company I work for if you apply for a flight crew position you get it on merit. If your previous career helps you achieve the required standard then great. But you don't get that standard lowered because you used to work for the company in any other department. So I'll reiterate my point so you can try to understand it again: the two jobs are different, and just because you were hired for one doesn't mean you'd be hired for the other.
I've just read AOGs post as well. What a numpty! Is there anyone on this thread who actually flies for an airline and as flown with ex-FAs or am I the only one?
