Come me fly with me! ✈️ A whole new career opportunity?

Wow! That’s what I wanted to do when I was a little girl. I don’t think I’d get the job I can’t teach the overhead lockers 🤣

I could push the cart thingy up and down the aisle it will help me walk in the heels and hold me upright,I wouldnt need my stick,although it would come in handy for pushing things in overhead lockers,and pointing out the exits,my opportunities are endless how do I apply

I had a work chum, who went on to be cabin crew in her late 40 's she said there was a couple on her course in thier 50' s, that was about 15 yrs ago.
She was with BA and I believe she's still flying.
Give it a go!

In my ‘Bunty’ comic when I was young, one of the stories was ‘Lyn Raymond, Air Stewardess’.

How glamorous it looked! The uniform, the lipstick, the exotic Mediterranean stop offs ( at 6 years old, I had no idea where the Med was, but it didn’t look like Skegness or Blackpool!)

Not so glam nowadays, that was the 50’s when flying was glam.

Hmm no as

I wouldn't be able to reach the overhead lockers.
I'd probably spill the drinks.
I might find it very hard to be polite to rude people!!
And I don't like travelling unless on holiday.

I'm wondering if the aisle would be wide enough for my crutches as I shimmied back and forth.

Could I be allowed a nap now and then? 😁

I failed the interview years ago - not glamorous enough, I suspect.

Of course I am much more glamorous now so should get in easily.

😂😂😂

My bum would knock the drinks over.

Can we train as pilots please?

Yes, it's allowed on long-haul 🙂

There was little career book called Air Hostess Anne…. I thought it was so glam but I’d have been hopeless when young (too untidy)

What good news then! Thanks for the info*Calistemon*.
I'll apply immediately .. or perhaps next week will do...

Callistemon21 perhaps it will work this time...

Someone we knew was cabin crew. She was tall and beautiful and only worked in First Class.

I have never wanted to be a trolley dolly thank you very much and especially not now in my 6th decade!

My parents had a friend who was chief purser years ago with BOAC. He was quite a "glamorous" man and very witty. He sometimes "popped in" on his way to New York or Dubai or wherever and brought us Elizabeth Arden soaps, hand creams and other treats "left over" from 1st class.
I stayed in his London flat a couple of times and it was swish and fabulously decorated.
I adored him.

Two of our neighbour’s daughters were hostesses for a while. They both gave it up after a few years. One became a teacher, the other a banker. That job would be my worst nightmare, can’t stand flying.

My friend was mid 40s when she gave up being BA cabin crew so that she could be there for her children!

Me too. I wanted to be an Air Hostess when I was little. Unfortunately, life overtook me. However, I now have over 30 years in the Hospitality industry and the last 13 years in the Care industry.

Am I qualified? First Aid and waiting skills up to date.

Remember Mrs Overall played by Julie Walters in the Victoria Wood sketches - that would be me

Its never struck me as a great job.
It's very crowded trying to get that trolley down the middle aisle.
