The role of the cabin crew

Welcome to 6 Minute Cabin English,I am your Jerry.After the plane takes off, every situation happened in the cabin and the problems of the passengers are all rely on the cabin crew.For example, some people would need medical care, there would be fire break out in the cabin and some in-flight facilities break down. Generally, you would easily find some professionals to deal with such problems. In fact, there may not always be professionals for every problem in the flight.So the cabin crew are trained to be professionals to deal with all problems on-board.

I have to say the cabin crew will act many different roles in the flight. First of all, we serve passengers with food and beverages as waiter or waitress. In addition, we would also act some other roles like doctor,fire man and even babysitter. Usually,People may feel sick or even in need of medical care especially in long-haul flight. In such situation, we will broadcast for a doctor in the cabin. If there is no response, the cabin crew would act as a doctor to provide some basic assistance.For the electronic devices or in-flight facilities catch fire, we would play the role of fireman to fight with the fire and keep the order in the cabin.Sometimes we take care of the babies for the passenger as a babysitter. Sometimes we act as a maintainer to repair minor problems of the on-board facilities. In a word, we are called as cabin crew for a reason.

I can remember the first time I was told by the instructor that the name of ‘cabin crew’ contains lots of things. At that time, as a trainee who did not really know what that was all about.As the longer I take this job, the more I can truly comprehend. The more roles you act in the flight comes more responsibilities.So to be professional is to be preeminent. See you next time in 6 Minute Cabin English. Wish you all good flights. Bye~
