What´s the best Airline to aply the first time?
Hello,
my name is Bruno, Im from Portugal and Im 20 years old!
My goal is being a Pilot but as I dont have enough money to start my training yet I was thinking to start my aviation career as Flight Attendant!
That would give me some money and maybe good connections towards my future!
I was thinking to a Stansted based Airline but Im not sure which...
I have some friends working for Ryanair but I herd some bad things about them!
Can you help me?
Thank you!!

Hi Bruno,
Your story is similar to how mine was. I can recommend working as a flight attendant to earn money and connections to help your path to becoming a pilot! It gives you an insight into what most pilots never get to see!
I worked for Britannia airways based at Manchester...now Thompson and i found it a fantastic company to work for and the people i worked with made the job thoroughly enjoyable, albeit still hard work of course.
Keep an eye on their site for recruitment news!

Good Luck with it all

Bruno,
having been a lifeguard will likely be looked upon favorably - you have experience supervising people (mainly for safety reasons), likely have first aid/CPR which is a requirement for airlines, and people contact!!! Looks good to me!
Good luck!

Humm...I guess you´re right Skysista!!!
Thanks!
By the way, anyone knows which pays more, between Ryanair and Easyjet?
I´m thinking in those two cause I know they are based in Stansted and that´s where I want to be!
Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm *sure* you have to pay for your training with Ryanair..?
I would say apply to charter airlines.. but thats just my preference/choice.. I know someone who has applied to BMI and Qantas for their first attempt

Well I am in training for cabin crew with Britannia at the moment. And I can tell you, that they are the best airline to go for first time. The trainers are great and as you would like to be a pilot, you can get experience on working on three different aircraft. It really is fun!!!
As for the easyjet and ryainair thing. I think Ryanair only take up people from a certain agency. And I don't think applying to easyjet is such a good idea at the moment, they are REALLY difficult to get into, and they require a lot from you. And yes, you have to pay for training with Ryainair and you have to pay for thaat horrible orange uniform at easyjet.
So I think your best bet, is to go for Britannia!!
Good Luck!!
