The classes and personnel there were all very professional, but also fun. There were some very serious topics discussed, but 每一个one was able to have a good time and laugh. I personally think building a positive relationship with your co-workers and the company you work for is very vital in the training process. 通过 the end of the second day I 真实ly felt part of the AirTran flight attendant team.
我从未想过的是航空公司拥有的不同飞机类型。与飞行员不同，空姐没有分配给特定的飞机类型。这意味着空乘人员必须知道现场的每架飞机如何工作。即使AirTran拥有“All Boeing Fleet,” The 波音717以麦当劳道格拉斯MD-95的形式开始使用 与波音737-700不太相似。它可以’在像达美航空或美国航空这样的大型航空公司中当空姐要了解许多不同飞机类型的系统，这很容易。
我参加了培训，不太确定要从中学到什么。我认为对乘务员的工作方式以及环游世界和品尝饮品的魅力有很多误解。我希望这个博客系列能让您看到空姐的复杂性和重要性’s job 真实ly is. Almost 每一个 flight attendant I spoke with says it is the best job in the world and they couldn’别想做任何其他事情。对我来说，这很酷。
在教室里学习所有这些都是有帮助的，但是亲身尝试它更重要（也更有趣）。上了几个小时的课后，我们大家沿着大厅走到了模拟波音717飞机上。’s的最爱（我知道我喜欢它，而且我必须使用所有按钮进行操作）。新手空姐必须练习所有的演讲和机上服务程序。他们实际上向其他同学（没有酒精饮料）提供了真正的饮品，但是我忙于四处奔波拍照（这很可能使我陷入困境）“real” plane) I didn’不能喝一杯。
The ditch training was inside a mock Boeing 717 with about seven rows. The flight attendants had no idea that fake smoke would be pumped into the cabin. I knew it was going to be dark (I had night vision 上 my camera, in 真实ity you could barely see anything). I knew it was a water landing. I knew there was going to be smoke pumped in. I also knew it was all fake. However, 上 ce the training started, it was very disorienting and although the flight attendants were yelling to get my life vest, I initially forgot it and had to go back to get it. 那 could have been the difference between life and death.
In the video you can hear some laughing and we were all having a good time with the practice, but it was taken very seriously. There were 上 ly about 15 of us in that small cabin, but it was shocking how long it took us to get out. There obviously was no 真实 panic or rush to save our own lives, I couldn’t imagine the chaos that would occur during a 真实 crash with over 150 passengers trying to evacuate an aircraft.
