Simple answer? No. I reckon it's a waste of money.

You're better off asking friends/family/current employer for feedback. Pay attention to how other customer facing staff behave in front of customers. Find out facts about airlines, lifestyle, routes, uniforms, airport codes etc etc.

Did you get any feedback from your interviews? You may have to do some soul searching and think hard as to why you didn't get past the interview stage. It's tough, but should be worth it in the end.

If you don't already have a job in a customer facing role, then go get one (even if it's part time). What you'll have to remember as well, is that there are airlines going bankrupt right, left and centre at the moment, so the employees from those companies are applying for the few jobs out there. With previous experience they have an advantage, and you need to show the company that you're better suited to the job than them (without being arrogant of course).

Good luck!

Of greatest importance is to know all / as much as you can on the airline itself and the problems that will face aviation for some time to come. You can learn lots just being a visitor to Pprune and checking out all the threads.What realy counts is how you are at an interview that is what gets u the job.
