READY FOR TAKE-OFF

IF you thought the role of a flight attendant was simply about asking a passenger if they’d prefer tea or coffee, chicken or beef, red or white wine – think again.

Flight attendants are highly trained to deal with the smallest to the most life-threatening of emergency situations. They perform unexpected tasks, such as caring for unaccompanied minors, calming anxious passengers, providing travel tips and keeping to a specific schedule.

Aviation Australia has developed a course to meet the unexpected demands of the role and to provide confidence to aspiring flight attendants.

Hannah Spitzke, Aviation Australia flight attendant alumni, said she always thought being a flight attendant would be nothing too difficult.

“I had no idea what I was in for,” Ms Spitzke said.

“I learnt so much, from arming and disarming a door, opening and closing exits, conducting evacuations in the case of an emergency, and that was just the start.”

Aviation Australia’s flight attendant career training places students in real life situations on world-class flight safety facilities – the same facilities on which renowned airlines train their staff. This teaches students how to respond to different scenarios and builds their confidence so that they are ready to excel in any job interview.
