The qualities of a good cabin crew are approachability, warm personality, sincerity, honesty, having a humble disposition, friendliness, discipline, stable emotion, having good listening skills, rule oriented, being organised, having a cross-cultural sensitivity and understanding, adaptability, assertiveness, dedication to details and having a good sense of humour.
A cabin crew will be on board the aircraft for the safety of the passengers. In case any real-life emergency actually happens, a cabin crew has to ensure that all the passengers follow the instructions of the captain, use the safety equipment in the correct way and to stay calm in the situation.
During any flight, a cabin crew will spend their time making sure that the passengers are comfortable in all respects. This will involve looking after the needs of disabled people, people who might be ill, or children who are travelling alone. A crew must appear sympathetic and friendly to anyone who needs help, reassurance or advice, and at times must have a firm persuasion.
Other duties that a crew performs during a flight will be to prepare and serve drinks and meals and clean up afterwards, sell duty-free goods, as well as help passengers use the in-flight entertainment system. There will also be paperwork they must complete. This could include custom and immigration documents, flight reports, drink and meal orders and accounts of duty-free sales. When the flight is over, a crew must make sure that the passengers safely leave the airplane. The successful candidate also has to always remain level headed and calm in any emergency situation and be completely flexible working with any new people, working at all hours, and flying to different destinations.
In short, a good cabin crew will have to combine being a flying waitress or waiter, a cleaner, an aircraft shop assistant and supervise emergency services all at the same time.
