Cabin Crew
On hearing the word “Cabin crew” we can identify that it is related to aviation sector. The cabin crew positions are very important to airlines and their passengers. The members of cabin crew are responsible for passenger safety and serve as the main point for passengers while they are flying. They also make sure all of the safety equipment on board is working ,make announcements, answer questions, serve refreshments and do whatever they can to keep passengers comfortable and informed while they fly.
SAFETY TRAINING GIVEN FOR CABIN CREW:-
The most essential parts of being successful as a member of Cabin Crew are being up to date with all health and safety procedures. During your induction training, a Cabin Crew will be taught about all of the necessary procedures, and how to perform them.
Aircraft Evacuation: Initiating and controlling passenger evacuations during emergency situations.
Ditching (Landing On Water): Use of equipment and following procedures for survival after aircraft has landed on water.
Decompression: Following personal and passenger survival procedures after cabin pressure is lost. A thorough Knowledge of aircraft back-up oxygen.
Fire Fighting: Undertake the role of fire fighter, or act in support during cabin fires. Knowledge of cabin firefighting equipment and procedures.
Note: If an oven catches fire, or a passenger sets light to a toilet, the pilots do not get involved except in exceptional circumstances. This is a vital cabin crew role.
Passenger Management: Duties range from safety demonstrations, seat-belt checks and safe stowage of carry-on baggage, to serious incidents involving the use of restraint devices to subdue drunk or violent passengers.
Security Related Issues: All airlines have their own procedures for security and hi-jack situations, which pilots and cabin crew alike are expected to know and follow.
First Aid: Provision of first aid is the second major reason for having cabin crew onboard passenger Aircraft.
At 40,000 feet over the middle of the Atlantic there is no hospital and often no qualified medical professionals to hand. That is why all cabin crew are trained in first aid techniques, including the administration of certain controlled drugs, resuscitation techniques, emergency childbirth procedure’s, and (on some airlines) use of defibrillator machines. The exact level of training, available drugs, and equipment provided vary between airlines.
The care of sick or injured passengers is one of the most important roles of a cabin crew member. Some airlines also carry previously advised cases of seriously ill or badly injured passengers with the provision of a stretcher in the cabin. Although professional medical staff invariably accompanies such passengers, assistance is usually appreciated.
The main point to remember is that cabin crew are on board primarily for safety and then for the comfort and well being of the passengers. When you start with an airline you will undergo a vigorous training course and be taught the safety and procedures for the aircrafts you will be flying on.
Extraordinary Situations: Cabin crews are expected to act calmly, with common sense and initiative, in out of the ordinary situations. Example - a cabin crew member once held onto the legs of a Captain who had been sucked half-way out of his cockpit window after an explosive decompression. The co-pilot landed the aircraft, and the Captain survived because of this action.
