There is a sort of upside to this. When I was on the line at BA back in the early 80s (Tech 1, LHR. Happy days) our apprentices were told there wouldn't be any jobs for them when they finished their time, and were offered positions in various departments, including cabin crew.
Those lads who took that option had a whale of a time. Suddenly the trolley dollies discovered a ready supply of non-gay stewards on board, and the boys spent most of their time (When not handing out coffees) shagging their brains out. When finally offered a return to positions in engineering, not all of them took that opportunity as they were making a fortune on expenses and enjoying regular filth with hosties.
