Air hostesses, that is, female air stewardesses, refers to the female staff engaged in passenger services on board civil aviation airliners, generally aged 20-50 years old, 1.63-1.75 meters tall, required to be dignified, beautiful, and have professional training in air services.
The main responsibilities are to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers on civil aviation aircraft during their journey (such as supplying passengers with meals and other catering), instructing passengers on the use of on-board safety equipment, and organizing the escape of passengers from the aircraft in the event of an emergency, and so on. Aircraft cabin service is an important part of civil aviation transportation services, which directly reflects the quality of airline services.
In addition to dealing with occasional emergencies on the plane, flight attendants are basically providing passengers with a variety of in-flight services, such as the issuance of aircraft meals and beverage preparation, supply, management of the in-flight entertainment system, duty-free merchandise sales and to assist passengers to ride comfortably in the cabin, etc. Because flight attendants are the first line of contact with passengers, they are also the first line of contact with passengers. Because flight attendants are the first line of contact with passengers, their every move represents the airline and their image is crucial. Because flight attendants often travel all over the world, and because of the nature of their work and their higher-than-average salaries, they have become a career that many young women are pursuing.
The career of a flight attendant can be divided into four stages: general cabin crew, two-class cabin crew, regional crew chief, and chief stewardess. After completing the corresponding business training, the general trainees can take up the role of ordinary cabin crew. With the increase of flight hours and personal qualification, they can be promoted to two-class/first-class cabin crew after passing the corresponding assessment. Upon completion of the first class cabin crew assessment period, they can be assigned as Regional Cabin Crew Chiefs, and those with outstanding performance can be assigned as Chief Cabin Crew Chiefs after a rigorous assessment by the Evaluation Committee, and can independently lead international flights as well as the chief executive's special flights.
The same job of serving tea and water, why is the one who serves water in the sky so beautiful? In this regard, those who support his courage to speak the truth and those who reprimand him for disrespecting the stewardesses. Although President Zheng asked "this pinch do not broadcast", but the video still flowed to the Internet, out of what intention, we do not know. In fact, I don't think we should over-interpret such personal statements, so that university presidents are more free to express their personalities, rather than like an official as official words, how is also a good thing.
The topic of "why stewardesses should be beautiful" excludes the moral tangle of discrimination and respect, and can be interpreted from the perspective of economics. A simple truth is that the same are restaurant waiters, upscale restaurants are certainly younger and more beautiful than the popular restaurant. Why? On the one hand, it is because upscale restaurants have such a demand for young and beautiful waiters as part of their upscale service; on the other hand, it is also because they have such an ability to attract young and beautiful waiters at a higher wage level.
The reason why flight attendants have to be pretty is both because airlines tend to choose pretty ones because the customers they serve are relatively more upscale; and more so, because they offer salary levels that can attract pretty applicants in the job market. With increasing competition, if the salary offered by the airlines is no longer so attractive, the possibility of them recruiting beautiful flight attendants will be greatly reduced; at the same time, as the passengers flying more and more common people, the airlines on the flight attendants of the degree of beauty requirements will also be reduced. The same goes for the fact that first class is generally prettier than economy class flight attendants.
Twenty years ago, the waitresses in KFC McDonald's were basically beautiful women, and now many of them are older women. This is the dual result of competition in the industry and competition for talent - pretty babes always tend to give the line of work that can afford to pay well, and calculating bosses are always calculating the need to hire beautiful people at high salaries. The reason why our stewardesses are prettier than those in the U.S. suggests that American beauties may have better employment options than stewardesses, but it also suggests that flying in the U.S. has become extremely commonplace and is far more gentrified than it is for us.
As passengers become more and more civilian, flight attendants will become more and more civilian; as salaries become more and more civilian, flight attendants will become more and more civilian. All of this is a product of economic development and market competition. Of course, the reason why many U.S. flight attendants are amazons may also have something to do with their strong union power; if U.S. airlines have full power to terminate and hire employees, their flight attendants should be much prettier than they are now. The constraints of unions on corporate growth are a disadvantage to people, not an advantage. So it should be them, not us, who express envy and jealousy that our flight attendants are prettier than American.
Being beautiful is also a scarce resource, and it is a normal market phenomenon to have a relative advantage in competition and to command a relatively high premium in the talent market. So it's not so much that "the public holds stewardesses sacred" as it is that men, including President Cheng, love beautiful women and are happy to pay them a beauty premium.
From my partner's experience, a small suitcase and a small handbag are the standard equipment for short-haul flights on the same day. Let's start with the small carry-on bag, which has all the essentials. The first and foremost is the flight attendant's costume bag, a colorful professional makeup must be inseparable from the real-time make-up. When the airplane passes the station, after the meal is finished, the flight attendants have to make up a little bit, in order to the fullest spirit of the face to show in front of the passengers once again. In addition to personal belongings, there are also many small items that flight attendants carry for the benefit of passengers, such as bandaids, nail clippers, windex, mosquito bites, needle and thread kits, and as small as a toothpick, and so on. Flight attendants, like Tinker Bell, can "change" many of the necessary tools for passengers. Certainly all kinds of documents required by the crew on board is also a small handbag in the necessities, such as boarding pass, cabin crew practice and qualification certificates, aviation personnel physical examination and qualification certificates.
And the small box is filled with essential necessities, a thick cabin crew manual, which can be described as an all-purpose book for cabin crew, covering all aspects of professional knowledge. For example, first aid, emergencies, specific models, general equipment and work standards on board, etc., although the cabin crew has long been these professional knowledge in mind, every year, but also by the size of the practical examination, but the emergency situation with this manual can also be described as a kind of protection for passengers on their own. Such as first aid chapter covers a lot of medical knowledge, from common diseases to the flight crew can work together to deal with the peace of mind. In addition to this manual, there is also an airplane broadcast word manual, the crew is also based on this manual will be on board all kinds of information through the process of the closest and most of the voice to inform the passengers companions.
In addition to these two manuals, there is also a pair of flat heels, that is, the shoes that the flight attendants wear to provide services for the passengers after the takeoff. In addition to being cozy, flat heels are important for safety. Also a must-have item in the case are aprons worn by flight attendants when serving meals to passengers, and a pair of scald-resistant gloves for pulling warm airplane meals out of the oven.
They also put a few snacks in their "treasure chests", occasionally for food and occasionally for taste. Put a few bags of green tea bags and a few small pieces of chocolate, because drink some green tea can prevent radiation, and the morning shift can not eat breakfast when eating a piece of chocolate can prevent the situation of low blood pressure.
The job of a flight attendant gives me more chances to fly to different places for sightseeing, and it is precisely because of this that my suitcase is always filled with souvenirs from previous trips, which I will take out and share with the masters at the right time.
In addition to these items, they also prepare some of the various types of daily necessities that may be used, such as lunch boxes, band-aids, portable chargers and so on. These seemingly tiny tools can always come in handy in a pinch.
The stewardess not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a delicate heart, want to think of the passengers, the passengers will use the small items are loaded into their own treasure chest, and then came to the passengers a sound of gratitude is to the stewardess of the greatest satisfaction.
In fact, we have a lot of misunderstandings about this profession, first of all, we all think that when the stewardess must be beautiful, in fact, it is not, if you've been to the stewardess recruitment, you will find a lot of long and good-looking girl fell into the election, and some of the posture of the flat was selected into the, the airline company in the selection of people, rather than "beautiful" is the only standard. The only thing that matters is that they prefer to be comfortable, and that's why there are so many "cold beauties" who don't make the cut.
But the major Chinese airlines still look for good looks (and they like good looks)!
In fact, I can't understand the recruitment of domestic flight attendants. Compared to the recruitment model of foreign airlines, the domestic recruitment model is more like "buying vegetables in the market", a mechanical group of ten people, each of whom introduces himself, can decide whether you can go to the next round or not, and only the looks pass their standards (of course). The only way to get into the next round is to pass their standards on looks (of course, including the eyes and temperament when speaking), so it doesn't matter if you're rich or talented, if you can't get through the first round, it's all just empty talk.
