chillycraps and cabin crew

"Today I catch up with Joyce who told me all the shit about being an air stewardess", that's the line suggested by Joyce herself. Yup, it has been a long time since I last met her, and that was before she joined the airlines.

Listening to her rattling on and on about her job, is evidence of how much passion she puts into the job. And I was quite surprised by some of the job scope of a cabin crew. Other than serving passengers food and peanuts and headphones, cabin crews are also trained in fire fighting, unarmed combat, nursing, babysitting, and toilet cleaning! Ok, they don't repair engines.

Her path to becoming an air stewardess wasn't easy, maybe that's why she treasures it so much.

By the way, do you know that the Airbus A380 has a fridge specially for dead body? Dead body, not dead meat.

  • lvs: yeah, I was quite surprised when my friend told me all these. They really seem like jack of all trade. Somemore sometimes they act as tour guide and PR, publicising the destination and the company.

    keropok: haha, I forgot to ask :P

    tiger: apparently there are many cases of midair death, that's why the need for the fridge. Even now, all flights have body bags onboard.

  • anonymous: maybe you have, but I don't have the privilege to walk around and inspect the A380. Anyway, I got that from the cabin crew herself.

    Now let me email the airlines.
