Phil,I worked as cabin crew for Britannia for three years and am now self sponsoring myself. The good ship Britannia have an EXCELLENT flying club at the bigger bases with FANTASTIC rates on their aircraft..£60 approx per hour for a fully IFR Pa28 for staff..I would certainly recommend trying for cabin crew..Even if it is to build your hours up..Also you get a lot of time on your hands..Convenient to perhaps do the distance learning for the ATPL??..Best of luck matey
