What's the secret role of a flight attendant on board?
Ellinair is a greek air-carrier based at Macedonia airport Thessaloniki and founded in 2013. Its also provides training for individuals who would love to join the world of flight Attendants.
As the story goes many people so-called flight attendants as “waitress of the sky” but ignoring unwillingly or purposely of their secret role on board.
"Cabin crew holding a vital position on board which is to ensure at all phases of a flight passenger’s safety” said on e-travelair Cabin crew Manager of Ellinair Airlines.
The ongoing training and alerteness of cabin crew throughought their carrier make them capable to face any obstacle might arises during the trip. Such as to extinguish a fire or to manage a disruptives passenger’s behavior even provide first aid if needed and of course to save a life adds Mrs Gianouli.
Those lovely ladies before put their wings and their smile on have been through hard training as regulators Agencies of Aviation like ICAO and EASA demand in order to obtain their hidden tool of safety so-called attestation of cabin crew.
Evelyn Gianouli explains that: “ Part of the training lessons includes fire fighting first Aid, emergency evacuation and all of them performed on a simulator.
Likewise a scene from the famous movie “view from the top” where Guineth Paltrow as a flight attendant of AA airlines during her training period was studying and was extinguishing fires on a simulator before she landed the job.
However people’s perspective about cabin crew means that their existence on board are only for the service like a waiter in a pub who serves drinks. Actually this point of view is being creatived and cultivated for marketing reasons in order the plane trip be more attractive for the ordinary people said Evelin Gianouli and adding that a successful cabin crew is when has no need to apply the safety tool kit” during the flight to save the life of her/his passengers.
In other words let passengers believe that flight attendants are waitress of the sky and wishing them never being aware of their hidden role! That’s a success for a cabin crew member! “ commenting Mrs Gianouli on “e-travelair”.
Still wondering why people have this opinion about this non ordinary job role as a flight attendant is and also so many sexist comments regarding them that usually getting viral on the web.
"Well it’s true and the reason is that this profession is full of women so sexist comments are made."
But searching through the Aviation history and travelling into time discovers that US air-carriers deliberately spread those rumors in order to increase sales which has plummeted at that period of time in 1930 and that’s because travelling by plane was first of all unusual weird and unable to chime with human beings nature.
In the picture the deadly departed Prime minister of Greece and the former flight attendant. Their story has attracted and monopolized even the foreighn newspapers and media.His ex-wife Margarita was an english lady who publicly has commented negative comments about Dimitra Liani.
Furthermore in Greece the romance story between the flight attendant Dimitra Liani and the deadly departed Prime Minister of Greece Andreas Papandreou had triggered the rumors concerning the discriminator comments about flight attendants. In this story the flight Attendant of former Olympic Airlines had a love affair with the prime minister and a happily every after end as they got married.
But the duty of flight attendant to keep safe passengers while flying romance has no room in the cabin. "As the prime priority for those ladies is to perform and maintain the safety standards and provide an outstanding customer service throughout the flight" said the cabin crew manager.
