Calling all you lawyers out there!
I'm one of these unfortunate cabin crew who has lost their job since September 11th, which has given me the incentive I needed to finally sign on to do an OU law degree (something I've been meaning to do for a while). I was wondering what my chances are, when I finish, of being able to use this in an aviation environment, and whether there would be anything else I could do to help?
Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Don't let those two take the p**s out of you! Go for your degree. Even if you don't use it in it's own context it shows you are a self motivated achiever and EMPLOYABLE.

Well DCG, if you want to use your law degree in the aviation sector, the possibilities are quite limited to say the least. The only real options I can recommend are post-degree to qualify as a solicitor rather than a barrister and specialise in aviation law with one of the major London law firms. It is a very niche area and there is a lot of money to be made, especially as a contentious litigation lawyer. Other than that, again, gain qualification as a solicitor then try and gain a position as an in-house legal representative with one of the airline parent companies, assuming they have one!

At 3 AM the question always hits me: is it true that I dropped out of lawschool for this ?
Don't hesitate, go for it. Loads of companies and authorities within aviation use lawyers.
