Flight attendants are responsible for the on-board safety of airline passengers and crew members. They assist passengers and other crew members in emergency situations and offer a variety of services to make flights as pleasant as possible for passengers.



education: minimum high school

Duties
Prior to take-off, flight attendants:

ensure emergency and safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, oxygen bottles and first aid kits are on board and functioning properly
check the general condition of the aircraft cabin and ensure all necessary supplies are on board
meet with the captain for a briefing on flight conditions such as anticipated weather and planned altitudes
find out how many passengers are booked for the flight and if any require special assistance
greet arriving passengers and check boarding passes
help passengers find their seats and ensure carry-on luggage is securely stowed
do a passenger head count and advise the captain
close entry doors
provide information about emergency exits and demonstrate safety features
ensure seat belts are properly fastened and other safety regulations are observed
advise the captain that the cabin is secure
take designated seats for take off and review emergency procedures.
After take-off, flight attendants provide a variety of services to make the flight enjoyable for passengers. Types of service depend on flight duration, weather conditions, time of day and number of flight attendants. They may:

distribute reading material, pillows, blankets or headphones
offer beverages and snacks from a tray or trolley (or serve meals on longer flights)
answer questions about the flight
make announcements (for example, regarding smoking restrictions, turbulence, descent preparations)
provide services for the safety and comfort of the passengers (for example, check seat-belts during turbulence, pick up refuse)
prepare the aircraft and passengers for landing (for example, clean and secure galley equipment, collect distributed materials, check seat-belts).
After landing, flight attendants help passengers leave the plane safely, tidy the cabin and check for articles left behind.

The lead flight attendant, sometimes called the purser or in-charge, is usually required to submit flight paper work. Flight attendants often spend up to half of their working hours preparing the cabin for flight, writing reports and doing other related work on the ground.


Working Conditions
Flight attendants work in a confined and sometimes noisy working environment. The work can be physically demanding: flight attendants spend most of a flight on their feet, move heavy galley equipment, and routinely lift items weighing up to 25 kilograms. To avoid damage to their ear drums, flight attendants should seek medical attention when they are congested. They are sometimes exposed to dangerous situations.

Hours of work are irregular and duty time can be long, up to fourteen hours. Flight attendants who work for large carriers may be away from their homes a considerable amount of time. They may experience short layover times and jet lag from time zone adjustments.


Personal Characteristics
Flight attendants need the following characteristics:

poise and good grooming
tact, energy, adaptability and resourcefulness
a safety conscious attitude and a customer service orientation
the ability to work well in a team environment.
They should enjoy having clear guidelines for their work, helping people and handling equipment.


Educational Requirements
Specific hiring requirements for flight attendants vary from one airline to another but certain basic requirements are common. In general, to be employed by airlines based in Canada, flight attendants must:

have a valid Canadian passport
be in good physical health (applicants must pass medical and eyesight examinations)
have a high school diploma or equivalent education
have previous full-time experience in a job involving public contact or have post-secondary education
be fluent in English (some airlines also require fluency in French or another langauge commonly spoken by passengers on a particular route)
be able and willing to relocate to any of the airline's bases
be able to obtain and maintain a restricted area (security) pass.
Airlines provide four to eight weeks of training specific to their operations. After successfully completing this training, flight attendants are assigned to one of the airline's bases.

Private vocational schools may offer pre-employment in-flight training programs. Before enrolling in a program, prospective flight attendants are advised to discuss training options with potential employers.


Employment and Advancement
In some airlines, newly hired flight attendants who have successfully completed their flight attendant training are assigned a monthly schedule. In other airlines, new flight attendants are placed in casual positions or are put on reserve assignment duty. This means they are on call 24 hours a day by telephone (although they have 10 or more days free of duty each month).

As flight attendants gain seniority, they are awarded a monthly schedule where all flying is known in advance. Monthly schedules, vacations and choice of home base are determined on the basis of seniority.

Flight attendants may advance to supervisory positions such as purser (in-flight supervisor), passenger or flight service director, or training instructor. Competition for advancement to senior positions is keen.

Flight attendants are part of the larger National Occupational Classification 6432: Pursers and Flight Attendants. In Alberta, most people employed in this classification work in the Transportation and Warehousing industry.

The employment outlook in this occupation will be influenced by a wide variety of factors including:

trends and events affecting overall employment (especially in the Transportation and Warehousing industry)
location in Alberta
employment turnover (work opportunities generated by people leaving existing positions)
occupational growth (work opportunities resulting from the creation of new positions that never existed before)
size of the occupation.
Over 1,550 Albertans are employed in the Pursers and Flight Attendants occupational group which is expected to grow 1.5 to 2.5 per cent each year from 2005 to 2010 in Alberta. It is forecasted that 20 to 40 new positions will be created each year in addition to job openings created by employment turnover. (Note: Since flight attendants form only a part of the larger occupational group on which this forecast is based, only a portion of the new positions created will be for flight attendants.)

Employment turnover is expected to increase as members of the baby boom generation retire over the next five to ten years.


Salary
Trainees are paid a small training salary and may be eligible for accommodation expenses.

Wage rates increase as flight attendants gain experience. Attendants on overseas flights are paid more than those on domestic flights and large carriers generally pay more than regional and charter carriers. Some flight attendants work part-time in other occupations to supplement their incomes.

Accommodation and expenses during stops away from home base are usually paid but not all airlines pay flight attendants for non-flying time. Flight attendants are usually eligible for reduced company rates for personal travel.
