I like your effort and your position againdt P2f but nothing will change i think!
prices are 5 times more than years back, this is a clear chime to understand why that!
And I'm just afraid you'll laughing to yourself and forget your own goal!
Your route and determination are good and hope you get soon the job you desire...but sometimes the same route, close to pilots, is the route bring you far away from the internal position career change!
If I can suggest you, as you mentioned, better ramp agent, dispacher than cabin crew job if you want to make contacts and have more chances to get the flight deck!
