Live in Europe and looking to go back to work full time now DS3 is 2.5 this is one of my options. Other is remote work of some sort.

These pics from the Telegraph recently.
She loves it and says that some airlines actively recruiting older people - older than you by the sound of it.

I know someone who started at 52.

It’s physically hard work though. The night flights take their toll. Don’t underestimate it.

Thankyou! I was worried I would feel old with a bunch of 20 somethings 😅

No, my uncle did it in his late 50s. Good luck!

Nope. I have a family member who has just trained as Cabin crew with BA. She’s 48. They are actively taking on ‘older’ people. It makes sense. No maternity leave, experienced at life, no shits to give.
