Question

    Flight attendants( 服务员 ) are part of those working on airplane passenger flights. They serve as a connection between the airline and its passengers. They satisfy the personal needs and comforts of the passengers while carrying out normal duties. They try to make the passengers’ trip so enjoyable that they will want to fly with the airline again. Attendants receive training that helps them work calmly in an emergency and ensure the safety of the passengers.

    The first flight attendants on US airlines were men. But from the 1930’s until the 1970’s, the air-lines hired only women as attendants. Though men have now returned to the position, the majority of light attendants are women.

    Long-distance flights have as many as 14 attendants on the largest jests and 6 on other planes. Most short-run jet flights have at least 3 attendants.

    Flight attendants check on flight conditions, food, and emergency equipment. They give safety instructions(指导)to the passengers, make flight announcements before and after take - off, and try to make the passengers as comfortable as possible.

    Flight attendants are trained at special schools. The course lasts from three to seven weeks. The training includes wide classroom work and practical experience in model cabin(机航).

    The airline pays flight attendants’ expenses while they are away from their basic station.
