    Not true; you will typically go to varied destinations either on the same aircraft or through shift rotations. Friend of mine is a flight attendant and keeps banging on about how he spent x days here, x days there etc all around different exotic places in the world (he gets a couple of days off, with spending money, after a long haul shift before doing a return shift) The basic pay is atrocious though.

        A relative of mine aspires to be an air stewardess, which I assume is the same thing but for women.

        She's currently at college, though I've no idea what sort of course she needs to pass to get that kind of job? Maybe one where they teach you how to open miniture spirit bottles without braking a nail, and not rolling around in tears of laughter when they ask for 5 quid for it.

            Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

                    I've spent the last 5 years working all over the EMEA region, it can get a bit wearying after a while so now just settling in to traveling around Germany but it looks like travel is back on the cards again with gigs in Schweiz, Spain and France looming up. Get based on the mainland doing mainframes and you're looking good...
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
