[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be management at a major airline.

Here's my secret advice: look for the lowest paying most part time job you can find at any local airport with an airline you are interested in. The shittier the job the better. Try to find one that ideally only needs you to work some oddball flight on a Sunday every other week.

Why?

You'll enjoy flight benefits, amazing health insurance, etc. The flight bennies are serious business, as they extend to your spouse, kids AND parents. Most airlines also offer companion passes for those not married. The benefits are generally reciprocal on other airlines too - can't get on an AA flight? No sweat, try southwest. You also get industry rack rates at hotels. Sofitel for $39 a night. That type of stuff.

Bottom line: work at an airline to get the flight benefits, minimizing your hours as much as possible and your comp as much as possible (this makes you a less attractive furlough choice, although most airlines go by seniority). Then get a real job that pays better and enjoy both. [/quote]

can i get these benefits as an airport job (i.e without flying as i am a single mom)
