JR FLIGHT SERVICES also provides
Contract Flight Attendant Services. Whether setting up the aircraft
for flight attendant use or supplementing one until your full time Flight
Attendant has been hired. Judy is FlightSafety and MedAire trained,
with emphasis on Safety and Professionalism bringing a wealth of knowledge
and experience to serve the needs of your Flight Department and passengers.
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 Third Crewmember/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 Third
Crewmember/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 an inflight fire, decompression 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 Third
Crewmember/Flight Attendant onboard; she/he can oversee catering, proper
food safety and handling, while making sure the passenger special requirements
are being met, 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 for planned
or unplanned, land or water evacuations Beyond managing the cabin and
providing passenger service, Third Crewmembers/Flight Attendants are
extensions of the flight deck crew. A well trained Third Crewmember/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 prior to takeoff or landing. Good communication between the
pilots and third crewmember/flight attendant, CRM, is essential from
the beginning of the trip.
