Sad to see so many wasted talents out there...know the feeling 
Been flying for 3and 1/2yrs...solo F/A lacking enthusiasm.
Re-enrolled in uni...Sports Admin. I am a Sport Sponge!
Most of working life in Hospitality/Customer Service (that's a good 15yrs...ick!). Time for a change me thinks
Good to see and hear the diverse backgrounds of the wonderful underpaid, unappreciated ppl in our industry.
I keep telling myself it's character building, strong and independant that wins at the end of the day...but it would be nice to have someone waiting for you at the end of the day!!!

You should know that two degree, being a former lecture and be able to use pc are particulary negative ability for a Cabin Crew....at least if nobody knows you are able 
that's why you got no house,no money and loads of debts....
Now I'm kidding, but I made selections for Cabin Crew in different companies, and having too much experience is seen as a waste of time for this work...just smile, say hallo and give some coffee......
We all C/C know that is not excactly like that, but is a cruel thruth!
If you tell too much during a selection, they consider you much more than a mere Cabin Crew!!!!
You say you are 35 , so maybe your selection was some years ago, but then and today is the same...we should appear nice, assertive and "gray" I mean no ideals, not too much, not too low....is sad but is like that!!!!
Remember if you're gonna do other selections...
Two weeks ago I applied for Ramp agent (I'm sick to fly after 13 years) and they specifically told me (I mean the Manager of the company) not even to mention that I'm graduate!!!!
Good luck in life

OK here goes.
Sorry, not cabin crew but love you all (not gay), without you our night stops and days off would be crap.
38 years old (male)
Married
4 kids (2 of each)
19 years in the business
6 years as an Air Traffic Controller
13 years as a Pilot (now Captain)
Still listen to Radio One and Heavy (sorry Classic, my son tells me) Rock
After saying all this, I think a good thread to post would be "Confessions". Could be interesting. Away for 5 days now but will check to see if anyone of you daring people has posted it.

Confessions....could be a right idea.....but how many people still working has the guts to say how many burdens they have to carry because of stupid people! I think I won't work in flight anymore, but i gotta a lot of things to tell....the fact is that I'm quiet and usually forget even the worst. At the end I think...ok they are stupid , let them be.....
A lot of people probably won't think like me and could be a nice thread!!!!
Come on, anyone wants to start?......Anonymous or not just as you like

we should make this a dating site!?
Hi, In answer to your question:
I am 37, female, straight and single
I have been flying 2 and half years as Cabin Crew.On my 2nd Airline and just about to job hunt for the 3rd - as someone said earlier 'it is a way of life - not just a job', I couldn't bear the thought of a 9 to 5 job but aviation industry as it is today I may have no choice.
No aspirations now(did when I was at school) to be pilot as I think it is quite complicated and an awful lot of responsibility. I'd be alright getting served coffee every 20 mins though !
So there's an awful lot of 'Bridget Jones's' out there is there a forum on here for a dating site? looks like some of us could do with it. After all even if you do meet someone you fancy at work, likelihood is you wont see em again for 6 months. (or they are married
Only found about Pprune few weeks ago, now I cant stay away from it .....I really should be off to bed

-19 nearly 20
-unemployed in aviation
-been flying for about 4 years, have cpl me-cir and all atpl subjects
-sell kettles at myer when i'm not at the airport
-extremely straight, yet single.
seems a lot of single people out there. does this concern you? it concerns me. i could think of nothing better (apart from sitting in the left seat of a jet) than being married and happy with kids. somehow though i dont think it is likely to happen.

I'm 21 and look 21 Dr. Phil but I have an obsession of wanting to still look under 18 probably because you can get away with a bit more!!! LOL if i still fit into my old school uniform..I used to waer it when i used to go for a spin downtown to see the reactions of the 'older folks' i probably would wear it more often if they fit me better....Dr Phil what should i do?
