新空姐化繭成蝶五大關(guān)

A fl ight attendant has to go through a series of strict training programmes before they are permitted by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) to become a quali fi ed attendant. This 3-month training prepares the fresh graduates for the role both physically and mentally.

Flight Attendants' Main Tasks:

No.1 Making sure the flight takes off and lands safely, and deal with emergencies;

No.2 Taking care of the passengers by giving out meals etc.

空姐的主要職責：

NO.1 維護飛行安全，處理飛機上偶發(fā)的緊急事件

NO.2 照料乘客，如發(fā)放飛機餐和飲料、協(xié)助旅客在機艙內(nèi)舒適搭乘

1st Challenge: Spirit to Serve

Apart from practicing newspaper distribution and so on, trainees will also learn to deal with passenger's complaints such as when the fl ight is delayed or canceled.

2nd Challenge: Keep Smiling

Flight attendants are the image of their airline company. Therefore, it is essential for the trainees to learn to smile, greet and apologise properly. What's more, they are even required to stand, squat, and walk in a certain elegant way. During the training process, a trainee needs to practice every taught movement over and over again, until acting gracefully becomes her natural habit.

3rd Challenge: Make-up Skills

There is not a single day in a fi ght attendant's career that she can go to work without make-up on. A full set of light yet delicate make-up can bring out the attendant's feminine charm while making her look con fi dent and professional.

4th Challenge: Emergency Treatment

Swimming is another essential skill that a fl ight attendant must learn. Therefore, a trainee is required to fully grasp standard breaststroke skills and pass a strict swimming exam. Apart from assisting passengers to escape when an emergency occurs, it is also a fl ight attendant's responsibility to demonstrate to the passengers the correct way to use the safety aids before the fl ight takes off. The safety demonstrations are usually taught and practiced inside a plane simulator, where the instructor checks their every movement for its accuracy.

5th Challenge: Language Skills

An air attendant is usually able to speak English and another language, so they are able to communicate with passengers from all over the world. A special English course has been designed to help the trainees to overcome the language barrier. It covers every possible circumstance that a fl ight attendant may encounter in the passenger cabins, including catering services, frequently asked questions and so on.
