Question By the Cabin Crew door?

Hi,

I completed my flight training about 4 weeks ago and apart from chilling out and generally recovering, I have been looking at possible options for me to pursue whilst I wait for that first RHS job. One of the options I have heard mooted before is to work as cabin crew and keep your flying hours ticking over on days off. I am aware that certain airlines will not consider frozen ATPL cabin crew for pilot positions but would still like to explore that option as a means of staying within the industry and potentially developing some useful contacts.

Anyone out there care to offer me some insight into this option? I would be most interested to hear from those who have been/still are in this position, did it help or hinder your career and did you have sufficient time to keep building those hours on days off?

If this is the wrong forum, for what is essentially a question, then I apologise.

Thanks.
