Cabin Crew Job Profile - Aviation English Brazil

Vocabulary
Flight attendants or cabin crew (historically known as stewards/stewardesses
or air hosts/hostesses) are members of an aircrew employed by airlines
primarily to ensure the safety but also the comfort of passengers aboard
commercial flights, on select business jet aircraft, and on some military
aircraft.
The role of a flight attendant is not restricted to customer service although
it is part of ensuring that passengers have a pleasant journey, flight
attendants are also trained to have a pivotal role in ensuring that safety and
security regulations are followed as well as being capable of administering
first aid, all of which are prioritised above customer service. The primary
and overriding responsibility of flight attendants is passenger safety.
The number of flight attendants follows from international safety regulations.
For planes with up to 19 passenger seats, no flight attendant is needed. For
larger planes one flight attendant per 50 passenger seats is needed.

:: FLIGHT ATTENDANTS – JOB DESCRIPTION VIDEO ::
[VIDEO - DESCRIÇÃO DOS SERVIÇOS DE UM COMISSÁRIO]
It’s a job that looks glamorous on the outside, but on the inside there’s lots of hard work.
Flight Attendants are important people: they are responsible for making sure safety
regulations are observed onboard their aircraft. They instruct passengers in the use of
equipment like seat belts and oxygen masks and they’re trained to help passengers
evacuate in the event of an emergency landing.
All of that comes on top of greeting passengers, helping them find their seats and stow
their bags, serving meals, and coping with turbulence, airsickness—and occasionally with
disruptive travelers. Flight attendants are often attracted to the job by the opportunity to
travel. That opportunity comes with the necessity of working nights, weekends, and
holidays—especially early in the career, because most airlines allow flight attendants to
bid for the most desirable routes based on their seniority.
If you’re interested you should apply directly to the airline to find out about that particular
company’s requirements for flight attendants. You should be in excellent health, be able to
speak clearly, be able to keep your weight in proportion to your height, and willing to
relocate. Many airlines look for college graduates, and for international service, the ability
to speak at least one foreign language will give you an advantage. Then you can expect
several weeks of intensive training and many months of serving as a substitute attendant.
You need to project confidence, strength and graciousness—because for most
passengers, the flight attendant is the face of the airline.

Verbs
Peter: Good morning and welcome to the On-Air Radio. I’m Peter Mayer and today
I’m here with Shelly Walsh. She’s been a flight attendant for nearly 5 years at FlyBy
Airlines and she is here to share with us a bit of her typical day as an air hostess.
Shelly, good morning, how are you?
Shelly: Good morning! I’m great, thanks!
Peter: So, Shelly. Tell us a little bit about your daily activities as a flight attendant.
Shelly: Well, we start by waking up really early in the morning. We get dressed, go
to the airport to meet the crew, then we have a pre-flight briefing to check all the
details for the upcoming flight, and after the meeting we all have specific duties on
the airplane. We need to check the emergency equipment, count the meals
onboard, clean the aircraft…
Peter: And all of that before the passengers start to board the plane?
Shelly: Correct. When the passengers board the plane, everything must be in order,
so we can greet them all, help them find their seats and stow their luggage. After the
plane takes off, we will make announcements and then start the in-flight service, so
we will serve drinks and meals to the passengers and the flight crew. We also have
to be prepared for any emergency situation that might occur during the flight.
Peter: And what sort of training do you receive to deal with on board emergencies?
Shelly: Once you are hired, you will get intensive trainings for all kind of emergency
situations. We receive trainings on fire fighting, and first aid... bomb threats also.
Peter: Wow! It sounds very demanding!
Shelly: It really is, but it’s also a very rewarding role.
Peter: Ok, thanks a lot for talking to us and I wish you a safe flight!
Shelly: Thank you, Peter. Have a nice day!
