IMPORTANCE OF A FLIGHT ATTENDANT ONBOARD:
ENSURING
THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS AND CABIN.
In the event of an emergency, the pilots primary responsibility is to
handle the emergency from the cockpit, while the Flight Attendant
prepares the passengers and cabin for possible evacuation. From
instructing the passengers to don life vests or smoke hoods, when required,
to securing the cabin for impact, the role of the Flight Attendant is
vital to the safety of everyone onboard.
For those Flight Departments or CEO's who choose not to employ a Flight
Attendant, you may want to rethink your process. At some point,
without a Flight Attendant onboard, the flightdeck may become a singe
pilot operation. Single pilot performance is a serious safety
issue. Pilots should never leave the flightdeck to serve passengers!
Could your CEO or other company executives handle a microwave fire or
are they trained to assist with a medical problem on a fellow passenger?
If your CEO enjoys his privacy, then he/she along with other company
executives should go through an emergency evacuation and medical training
program - for their own safety. JR Flight Services acknowledges
the need/desire for privacy and attempts to preserve the passengers
privacy whenever possible.
Besides safety, there are other important reasons for having a Flight
Attendant onboard; she/he can oversee catering and passenger special
requirements, ensure proper food handling and aircraft sanitation; and
it is also very important that she/he has operational knowledge of the
galley and cabin equipment, along with opening the main cabin door and
emergency exits. Beyond managing the cabin and providing passenger service,
Flight Attendants are an extensions of the cockpit. A well trained Flight
Attendant can also be the pilot’s eyes and ears, particularly
in large-cabin aircraft where it’s impossible to see if the passengers
are secure. Good communication between the pilots and flight attendant,
CRM, is essential from the beginning of the trip.
