My best friend used to work as cabin crew at Stanstead for Ryanair, and that was about 4 years ago when the cabin crew training was free. Her training course was at Prestwick airport and was very intense. Every morning they had to all answer exam questions and they would have to be at the airport at unsightly hours to make sure that they could handle the early mornings etc. She would study really hard every night for all the various exams they had to do and safety was one of their main priorities. ]

The reporters said they hadn't been on a plane, but when my friend was training, they did a couple of flights before they graduated with their wings.

However, she quit the job due to the long hours and extremely hard work that it was. It wasn't a surprise to learn that a number of her colleagues were having a chemical romance with charlie.........
