Question Advice/Help

Hi guys, hope someone can help, I have always wanted to fly but like most could not afford to fund this myself, so i was wondering what/if any are the chances of joing an airline as cabin crew and then moving to the flight deck, o companies sponsor this? funding? what are the chances? etc...The research I have one looks like Cabin crew could be fun so would enjoy it but would alwasy want to be up front.
Anyone know anyone who has done this? if so how?

Thanks to all

A few suggestions to get you started:
  • Read the stickie at the top of the forum
  • Learn how to use the 'search' button
  • Take an "English grammar, spelling and punctuation" course
Good luck.

www.britishairwaysjobs.com have a look no here at Pilot Sponsorship
another way it is to do Longhaul,get trips to the US and do your flying lessons & private licence whilst over there as it is a lot cheaper than the UK

CC Forum, Many thanks for your helpful advice.......Much appreciated and i'm sure this will help me going forward in life!

tiggerific_69, Cheers for the info, I have previosly looked at the BA website but understand it is extremley hard to gain sponsorship when not already working for the airline.
As for the Longhaul I never really thought of it like that, a family member built up his hours in the states an had a great time.

Can anyone give me an insight into the life of Cabin Crew....ups and downs??

"Take an "English grammar, spelling and punctuation" course"

Was that comment really necessary?

Thanks for that Ozzie!!
I should have read my post pre posting however I hate to say this but I have a thorough understanding on the the English Language and my spelling mistakes are due to rushing my post and that I have one or two keys that stick on my laptop!! But yes not relevant to my post whatsoever!! If any of you do have a English test paper online I am more than happy to complete and submit my completed paper for CC F Moderator to mark!
Anyway without moving off the topic can anybody help?? Thanks to all.
