Hi There
Working as Cabin crew is a rewarding and fun job as you may have gathered from the numerous posts on here on PPrune.
Got to be honest with you though, it's certainly not the best paid job in the world and you aren't going to get rich unfortunately.
If you can afford to take a big cut in wages from your current job, and tighten your belt for a while then I'd say go for it and enjoy the experience. If however you have lots of bills to pay then I'd think twice. As junior crew you can probably expect anywhere between £900 and £1100 per month. Made up from your basic wage and flight duty allowance. And if you are working for a low cost airline that does a lot of short domestic flights you could be doing up to six a day! Early starts and late finishes. Not trying to put you off but that is the reality of the situation. You will meet some great people and have some great times, but you will work bloody hard. Hope this helps.
