Yup, and happily so for the largest carrier in the US for many, many years. But if a girl goes into the airlines with stars (or pilots) in her eyes - without knowing the realities of the schedules, the demands of the job and the scale of the pay - she is usually in for a big disappointment. Her passengers will be miserable and her company will not get the benefit of a mature employee. I believe in informed choices - they are the ones people usually stick with and grow from.

PS Garth, I see you are ground crew, it may be a little different at 30,000'.
