    I am quite clear with the jobscope but my point of view is though it allows people to travel but you don’t really get much time to visit the places as you would be too tired for that… and you really have to risk your health and the pay is not so good after all

    well..what about the age limitation? i’ve heard that once the stewards are over that age limit,they can no longer be flying with the air crew right? So,what next? What can we do after that? Is there any other job opportunities?

    That’s the only thing i’m worried about.
