You would have thought so, but unless you are a pilot (where there are nearly zero job vacancies) or air steward/es then there are not as many as it seems. before i did my degree I did a foundation apprenticeship in Aircraft Maintenance at KLM UK Engineering. There didnt seem like much travel. Also it was quite macho. most people had been ex-forces and the new recruits ended up doing initiation rituals. Wasnt my Cup of tea.
