Becoming a FF
Hello All-
I love flying and have been pursuing jobs that require extensive travel >50%, but I haven't had much luck. What types of positions are you all in and where should I continue my search? I have been in sales for a bit now and was thinking there should be traveling sales opprotunities. Thanks in advance for your advice, I am jonesing to get FF status on one of the airlines.
Cheers!

This subject is discussed in TravelBuzz on a regular basis. Searching the forum under the word "Jobs" brings up several threads:

(Post #4 of the last-linked thread has cites to a number of other ones, as well.)
I'd suggest looking through the threads and choosing a fairly recent one which meets your needs. Then feel free to add to the discussion in the relevant thread of your choice. Meanwhile, I'll close this. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.
