Petty coat pilot, wow! I am not sure what to say here... I somehow feel saddened by that story and am also greatful that you brought up some great points. I totally believe in one being oneself, I for one went into this with the attitude that if they don't like me and feel I am not good enough that it is OK. I can only be who I am. If however they like who I am then that is a bonus.
My heart and my demeanour has always leaned to the service industry and to me this career is yet another form of building on and striving to excel at something I feel I do well. Wether Virgin sees this or not is not so important, it is important though that I know where my value lies... Hopefully they will too.
So yes, be yourself and go for it I say. I for one would love the opportunity as I am sure a few awaiting to proceed would also. So, good luck to everyone awaiting their phone calls, and I hope to see you up in sky sometime very soon.
