Just wanted to share the fantastic news that my 19yr old son Ryan has just passed his Virgin Atlantic training and on Tuesday evening got his 'wings'. [clap][clap]
He is now a fully fledged 'cabin crew' member for Virgin Atlantic. His first flight is today...to Vegas[msnoo] woop woop
I am soooooooo proud of him. For all those flying from Gatwick to Orlando this year look out for him[msnsmile2]

Congratulations to your son. Will you be able to get cheap or free flights now?
Congratulations to your son [clap][clap][clap]

Congratulations to your son, get your name down early for the cheap flights, I am sure he will develop loads of friends[msnwink]
awww Jo im so pleased for your son, you must be so proud!!!
got a couple of friends who are now working for Swissport and BA cabin crew i think it is.. and a few more training, so lucky!! seems to be the in thing....very lucky, hard work!!
Thanks guys for your supportive replies. Yes I am so proud, to me he is still 'my boy' but hey I guess this is a motherly term.
I have to say all the crew looked lovely in their uniforms, Mr Branson should be proud too.
I certainly had not realised just how much the cabin crew do...let alone how much they have to know !!!
The training is very intense[msnscared]
I must admit being guilty to thinking 'trolley dolly' but now, having seen what they have to do in the traiing, I have full respect for what the crew have to deal with and the high level of responsability they have each flight.
Then of course there is the discount..ummm I can feel more long haul holidays coming on:D:D

There is so much more to the job than just walking up and down the aisle with a trolley. Congratulations to your son and I wish him every success for the future.
Congrats! We are doing Virgin Gatwick to Orlando in June - will keep an eye out for him! Whats his name?
Well done to your son Jo, might meet him sometime.

Congratulations to your son Jo, enjoy the moment [msnsmile2]
Congratulations to your son. I hope he really enjoys his job.
Congratulations to your son Jo, you must be very proud of him[clap]
Congratulations to your son, you must be very proud.[clap][clap]
Jo how lovely - well done to your son[clap][clap][clap]
I had 20+ years with BA as Cabin Crew and loved every minute, it's a great job and like you say so much more to it than most people think[msnwink]
If I could give him any advice it would be not to change, to treat every passenger like he would want to be treated or as if they were a member of his own family, and to keep his voice down in the galley[msnwink][msnwink][msnwink] and to enjoy it[clap][clap][clap]
Our neice worked for Emirates, based in Dubai for a while. She looked ever so smart in her uniform.
You must be very proud!
Congratulations to your son Jo - a very proud Mum you must be - makes it worth all the hard work doesn't it?

Congratulations to your son Jo , Im sure Ryan has a great career ahead of him .We have a close family member in the business and indeed the training is gruelling and not all the trainees get their wings either .There is a lot more to being cabin crew then wheeling trollies and serving tea and coffee, though I dont know how they do it during turbulence . Its a very responsible job and they hsve to be ready for all eventualities . Enjoy all your flying perks Jo and possibly more trips to Florida now , remember make the most of it because if he ever marries you are down the line as next of kin.[lucky][lucky][clap][lucky][lucky]
Ahhh thanks alot for all the lovely comments, what a lovely forum.
Don't forget if flying from Gatwick (or even Heathrow) look out for a young blonde male named Ryan, you will guess him as he looks so young (ssh don't let him know I said that though;) )
He is such a kind, polite and considerate person, I think he will go far.
thanks again
Jo
JO, they are the qualities we hope to find in a Flight Attendent when we are vunerable air travellers. He will go far.
