Flight attendant, more than a job!
I
have been a flight attendant for one year now and wouldn’t change my job for
all the money in the world. I love it! The flight industry has changed and
flight attendants are not only women who are not married. Today men and women
with families also apply and become flight attendants. After filling in an
application, you must complete intensive training before you become a flight
attendant.
It’s
true that flight attendants serve food and prepare drinks for passengers on
planes. Some other customer service responsibilities include offering blankets,
pillows, hot towels, magazines, newspapers, headsets to listen to the radio or
in-flight movies and other items. In general we make sure that everyone is
comfortable.
However,
making sure that everyone is comfortable isn’t all we do! The most important
responsibilities are safety related. Before each flight we have a meeting with
the pilot and make sure that the plane is safe before take-off. Then, we make
sure that everyone is in their seats and offer help to anyone who might need it
like children
travelling
alone or passengers who are older. We check that safety items such as life
vests, torches and fire fighting equipment are on board. After this we do a safety
demonstration which lets people know what to do in case of an emergency. During
the flight we constantly check that everything is ok and working properly in
the cabin. For example, if something is not working properly, or if we
something seems strange, we inform the captain.
Flight
attendants are highly trained professionals and can take care of many different
kinds of emergencies that may happen onboard a plane. In some situations
we have to handle passengers who are ill, drunk, injured and aggressive or
frightened. We are prepared to handle medical situations like heart attacks,
and unexpected events like fires or emergency landings. We also have survival
skills in case we land in open water, deserts or jungles! Today most flight
attendants also learn self defence.
What
I like the most about my job is that you get to meet many different people from
all over the world. This is why most flight attendants speak more than one
language. It is always helpful when you can communicate with someone who is not
from the same country you are. Sometimes when we fly into a country I get to
spend some time there. When I am not working I get to travel for free!
Being
a flight attendant is hard work, but we do get a lot of holidays and I really
enjoy being on the ground after so much flying. However, after a few days at home,
I can’t wait to be up in the air again!
