Patience of a saint, legs of iron, common sense and the ability to say 'coffee?' or 'tea?' and make it sound as if you haven't just said it 200 times down the aisle.
Not to small, not too tall, not too thin, not fat. Cheerful even when the plane is falling out of the sky. Convincing enough to reassure passengers that in the event of a crash, a seatbelt, oxygen, whistle and mini-torch will save their lives. Make up must be a min. of 2in thick. Willingness to sleep with the pilots an advantage. Must be prepared to work for less than �8,000p.a. in worse conditions than battery hens are kept in. Lack of ambition a bonus.

Why don`t you think about a career and start from scratch? I changed careers at the age 27 and love it love it love it. go girl
