No disrespect to the CC, but the job has little relevance to what happens on the other side of the door other than dealing with awkward people...
Actually, I beg to differ. There are many relevant skills involved in the role of a Cabin Crew member that go far deeper than just 'dealing with awkward people.' I fail to see how a job in operations could be any more useful, yes you would understand more about what goes on behind the scenes which is great. I would be delighted to hear of what skills and knowledge that you would acquire that would add value to your career as a pilot. Certainly, being a place where you can earn money whilst reading your manuals is not the most compelling argument.
