You've read the story of Steven Slater, JetBlue Airlines flight attendant who risked out of the plane as passenger upset with the tantrum? Fed up with the act of an unruly female passenger, Slater grabbed the intercom to say goodbye, get a beer in the kitchen, then opened the door of the plane, hold a parachute to evacuate, then slid out. At that time, a new JetBlue Flight 1052 landed at JFK airport, New York City, of Pittsburgh, and was walking slowly toward the gate at the airport. The incident makes Slater detained by police.Slater did not act very responsibly, but the reasons behind the action nekadnya understandable. Caused passengers own way has become a daily meal in the cabin crew of any airline. So, to make the flight to be safe and comfortable (and timely), you'll want to see what is faced steward-stewardess on the plane.
1. Ensuring passenger safetyWhat does a flight attendant? They are tasked to serve your needs and your comfort while in the plane, but the important thing is to ensure your safety. "People often think the rules in the plane's annoying, but there is actually a reason behind every rule, namely to maintain your safety," said Sara Keagle, a former flight attendant who is also the owner of the blog TheFlyingPinto.com.
2. Cooperation will greatly assistThe most difficult part of a flight is boarding, luggage storage because the process can be very troublesome. "If passengers want to cooperate, and not think only about themselves, it would make our job much easier, and helps the flight on time," said Teresa, a former flight attendant who worked for Delta Air Lines. You can help the other passengers did not linger like standing in the hallway when it will save the items in the overhead bin. Help is also passengers who have difficulty storing goods.
3. Not a restaurant in the air
Always remember that the flight is not a place of fine dining. According to Ellen, a former flight attendant of United Airlines, airlines are not always 100 percent prepared food choices in a menu. So, you have to accept if what you requested is not available. "You are on the top 747, not at 7-Eleven," said Gary, a former steward of the same airlines.
4. Do not forget "please" and "thank you"Flight attendant's task to serve you, but it does not mean they can be ordered pushed around by passengers. "It means a lot to me when people reply to the greeting 'Good morning' when I scold them," said Lisa Lent, a flight attendant. According to Teresa, the passengers would often bring a small gift such as candy for the cabin crew. Or, offering a finished magazine to read. Little things that make flight attendants feel appreciated.
5. Drunk on the altitude of 35,000 feet"Because of the high altitude, the influence of alcohol is very pronounced when you're flying," said Fanny Delaunay, a former Air France flight attendant. If you start to look drunk or unruly, flight attendants are responsible to control the situation. If flight attendants had already seen that you are drinking too much, they will still provide drinks, but not completely contain alcohol. "We may be just the edge of a glass dipped in vodka or gin, then fill the rest with another mix," said Ellen.
6. The eyes and ears of the pilotDo not forget, a flight attendant on duty to ensure your safety, not to serve all your needs. They have undergone training, including training for emergency medical conditions, CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and how to evacuate from the plane."Because most airlines did not encounter any security problems, thankfully, some people believe that we were the only artisan luggage and renderer drinks, and do not realize that the flight attendants were trained to ensure passenger safety and comfort," said Agnes Huff, PhD, a former flight attendant for U.S. Airways and Pacific Southwest Airlines.According to Sara Keagle, because pilots can not see into the passenger area, they rely on the eyes and ears of the flight attendants. Pramugarilah should be alert to what is happening inside the plane, and inform the pilot when there is an emergency situation.
7. Intimate as takeoff and landingAlthough only met on the plane for several minutes, surprising things can happen between flight attendants and passengers. Suddenly the flight attendant can be a friend of passengers, as if it had known for years. "I think that belief comes after knowing that we were together shoulder to shoulder in an emergency," said Gary. According to him, the most intimate conversations occur during takeoff, taxiing (when the new plane landed and walked slowly toward the gate at the airport) and landing. When that happens the bond between the passengers and cabin crew.
8. Sign toilets there should be timeYou know, when it was announced to tighten the belt, there are still passengers who actually go to the toilet. In fact, this could make the flight delayed. If someone is using the toilet, the stewardess had to tell the pilot, and pilots must stop a plane (if it is prepared to takeoff) to return to his seat and passenger seat belt.Not only that, the sliding carriage weighing 150 kilograms of food back to the kitchen just because there is a passenger who wanted to use the toilet, is the most disturbing thing for them.
9. Three times more tiredSitting on the plane for hours is not only tedious for passengers, but also for flight attendants. Flight attendants usually must be ready in one hour before the plane prepares for aviation passengers, even a few hours earlier they had to be there at the airport. So if you feel tired, fatigue multiply it three times to understand just how exhausting the duty of a flight attendant.
10. Meet passenger is the most fun"One of my favorite parts of this work is to obtain a meaningful conversation with people who are fun," said Fanny. Perhaps prompted by the fear of flying, or because the magic in the air, so people tend to be open and happy to talk about himself. Stewardess lot to learn new things from here.
