Emergency exit rows come with responsibilities that extend beyond just extra legroom ............... 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: A Vital Partnership Between Cabin Crew and Passengers If you've ever sat in an emergency exit row, you're no stranger to the safety briefing that begins: "𝘈𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘵 𝘳𝘰𝘸, 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺..."  This moment, though brief, is a vital part of the safety protocol on every flight. It’s more than just a regulatory requirement - it's a shared responsibility between the cabin crew and passengers, and it has the power to directly influence the outcome of an emergency. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: How Do We Balance Compliance with Engagement? Delivering safety briefings that are both compliant and engaging is no small feat. The objective is clear: ensure passengers fully understand the procedures without losing their attention or making the message feel too mechanical. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: - How do we engage passengers while maintaining the seriousness of the situation? - How do we ensure compliance without compromising the impact or clarity of the briefing? 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱: A Collaborative Approach to Safer Air Travel Creating effective safety briefings requires teamwork at every level. Cabin crew must communicate with clarity and professionalism, while passengers need to actively engage - listening carefully and asking questions when necessary. Ultimately, the goal is to foster a safety culture where every passenger feels empowered, confident, and ready to act, while fully appreciating the critical responsibility the crew holds in ensuring everyone’s safety. Safety isn't just the crew’s responsibility - it's everyone's. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can improve the balance between compliance, passenger engagement, and clear communication in safety briefings. #PassengerSafety #Aviation #SafetyFirst #FlightSafety #CabinCrew #PassengerEngagement #Compliance #AviationInnovation #FlightAttendant #Pilot #SafetyCulture #SafetyBriefing #EmergencyPreparedness #FlightCrew #SharedResponsibility #Communication

GOOD READ! So, What Do Flight Attendants Do Anyway? Here are just a few things you might’ve wondered about flight attendants’ roles, and how they do their jobs in the modern age of flying: https://loom.ly/s0kVqXw #JTBBizTravel #FlightAttendants #Flight #Safety #Hospitality #NewBlog

In this 2-minute video, Captain Neil Schnaak explores the many hazards present inside aircraft. Watch for ideas on how to keep our flight attendants safe. #Transportation #SafetyatWork #Safety #Insights #TransportationIndustry https://lnkd.in/ezgbYza2

Yesterday, we were reminded of the fragility of safety in our industry with a tragic accident at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. (Presumably) a ground worker lost his life after being sucked into the engine of an Embraer 190 during pushback. The exact details are still being investigated (and once again, this is NOT a matter of hour or days in most aviation accidents cases), but this heart-breaking event emphasizes, I think, a critical point: Safety must never be taken for granted, even in the heart of Europe, where some of the most respectable airlines, airports, and ground handling operators operate. This accident underscores a vital truth, regardless of the investigation outcome: Safety starts with each of us. It’s a shared responsibility that spans across everyone in the aviation ecosystem: pilots, cabin crew, ground handlers, maintenance staff, air traffic controllers, caterers, and yes, managers, accountants and office staff too! Safety is a mindset which, when adopted by everyone, creates a culture all across the organisation and all across the ecosystem. When we all adopt a safety-first mindset, we create a culture where everyone looks out for each other, and the collective vigilance becomes our strongest safeguard. Despite our best efforts and the rigorous safety protocols in place, we must acknowledge that we can never prevent all incidents and accidents. Aviation remains the safest means of transportation, but these tragic events remind us of our fallibility. We must continuously strive to improve, knowing that the system, as robust as it is, is still prone to failure. Let’s use this sad moment to renew our commitment to safety, with humility and respect for the complexities of our operations. Each individual’s actions matter, and together, we should, and we can foster an environment where safety is paramount. "Safety starts with me. Safety starts with you." as I saw in a lot of safety promotion material. My thoughts are with the family and colleagues of the individual lost in this tragic accident, as well as with the crew members, ground staff and passengers who witnessed the accident (also reminding us about the importance of mental health and peer support...) And as always, let's keep Safety a constructive conversation... This is only my own personal meaning... #aviation #safetyfirst #sharedresponsibility #commitmenttosafety #aviationcommunity #KLM #Schiphol #AviationSafety #AviationAccident #GroundOperations

How to be a better airline passenger? ✈️🧳 Our cabin crew reveals their top pet peeves and what you can do to help ensure a smoother journey for everyone onboard. 1️⃣ 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 Be prompt when boarding the plane to help speed up the process and settle into your seat efficiently. 2️⃣ 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 Respect the overhead bin space by keeping your carry-on above your designated seat, avoiding unnecessary movement and frustration. Also, try to refrain from asking crew members to lift your heavy luggage. 3️⃣ 𝐀𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 Save personal requests for after boarding to allow flight attendants to focus on pre-flight tasks and maintain on-time departure. Keep in mind that crew may not have answers to certain questions, such as whether you will make it to your connecting flights. 4️⃣ 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 Pay attention during the safety demonstration, as it contains crucial information that could save lives in an emergency. It might be your one-hundredth time, but a first for your neighbor. 5️⃣ 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 Stay mindful of your surroundings and fellow passengers to avoid causing inconvenience or tripping hazards with knees, legs, bags, and bag straps in the aisle. Also, avoid standing up in the aisle immediately after the plane lands, which can cause congestion. Remember, cooperation from everyone onboard makes the journey smoother and more enjoyable for passengers and cabin crew alike. Follow us for more industry insights! #AirExplore #Airline #Aviation

* In-flight Safety Hints * Passengers, did you know that there are safety standards for luggage in overhead compartments? Small luggage, bags, and backpacks are allowed, but they have handles and a lever for pushing the bag. Sadly, many airlines fail to inform passengers of these standards, and some airports are not properly trained to identify luggage that doesn't meet the proper requirements for getting on board. As a safety-conscious individual, I want to ensure that safety on board is a top priority. It's also important to note that there are no regulations stating that your luggage must be placed directly above your seat. If there's space above your seat, great! If not, you're free to stow it wherever space is available. Stay safe and happy travels! #inflightsafety #safetyonboard Dear Ones, please keep this in mind: in case of any emergency on board, listen carefully to the Cabin Crew. They are professionals, exhausted, and trained for your safety. And, in case of any emergency. They will do whatever it takes to get you out of the plane, as safe as possible. #DO NOT TAKE YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS WITH YOU ! ! ! !# This may interfere with the evacuation procedure of the aircraft. You will not find a way to take your belongings. Clear ????? Despite the fact of interrupting a safety procedure, this .. Let's say a kind of human instinct. Just for the record. Regardless, the sort of aircraft ( small or gigantic) FLIGHTS ATTENDANTS = SAFETY TECHNICIANS - THEY HAVE 90 ( NINETEEN SECONDS TO EVACUATE THE PLANE / ANY TYPE OF AIRCRAFT ) I do not mean to cause any trauma or get you a puzzled head full of fear of flying. Not at all I repeat. Air travels are the second most safe means of transportation. If we all get familiar with those procedures. I am quite positive. We all have safer journeys for ..... Let's always prioritize safety above all else. • Reminder I have worked as International Cabin Manager for nearly twenty years. Luckily, I haven't got any sad stories to tell. Thanks & regards R.

I believe it’s my duty as a zimmedar nagrik to share some perspective on “the other side.” ✈️🔍 Flight delays, diversions, and cancellations can be incredibly frustrating. It’s only natural to feel upset when plans go off track or time is affected. But venting anger or placing blame on the staff won't change the situation and, in truth, it’s quite unfair to those who are genuinely there to help. Here’s a gentle reminder! 🌸 Behind each of these unusual circumstances, there is a dedicated team working tirelessly! Whether due to weather conditions, security alerts, medical emergencies, or technical issues and, etc. It’s not just about moving you from A to B; it’s about ensuring you arrive safe and sound. The aviation sector is incredibly complex, demanding, and high-stakes. It’s a blend of precision, teamwork, and unwavering dedication. From pilots to cabin crew, and ground teams including the unsung heroes like ATC and CNS working behind the scenes; these professionals aren’t just facilitating your journey, they’re protecting you with every decision they make.🫡 So, the next time, if you find yourself feeling tense or anxious during your journey, take a deep breath. These moments of waiting may feel long, but they’re filled with people dedicated to getting you to your destination safely. Let’s show a little patience and understanding for those guiding us through the skies, and remember that every journey is watched over with care. Thank you ✨️ #Aviation #Security #Safety #CivilAvaition #Awareness #TravelWithPatience #AviationSafety #BehindTheScenes #AviationSector #AviationProfessionals #Airlines

Of all the buttons on an airplane, this one gets pushed by accident the most often (well, besides the chemtrail switch of course). I know you've wondered about it. Here's the deal. It's better to use this button then pull back the galley curtain/net to ask a question or make a request, but be courteous using it. If there's turbulence or anytime the aircraft is making configuration changes (takeoff, climb, descent, landing) or flight attendants are in the middle of meal / beverage service, don't ring it just because you want a refill on your drink. It's a "need" button rather than a "want" button. The culture/response of using it varies from crew to crew, airline to airline, and country to country! Come to think of it, as a passenger, I've never had to use it. Have you used the flight attendant call button and what was the response? Flight attendants...what's your opinion? #aviation #aviationindustry #pilot #pilotlife #flightattendant #airplane #aircraft #airline #airlineindustry #information One Mile at a Time #fly #passenger #passengerexperience #airlinepilot #conversation #linkedin #opinion #service #achickinthecockpit

✈️ Fellow Flight Attendants: Let’s Talk Turbulence ✈️ We’ve all been there—those moments when turbulence hits, and some passengers ignore safety instructions. As crew, we know how important it is to stay calm and firm, reminding them that buckling up during turbulence isn’t just a request, it’s a necessity. Whether it’s light, moderate, or severe turbulence, our priority is always safety. Let’s keep doing what we do best—protecting our passengers, even when they don’t see the dangers we do. Stay strong and vigilant, crew! 💪 #FlightAttendantLife #TurbulenceSafety #CrewSafety #AviationProfessionals #SafetyFirst #AviationLife #TeamworkInTheSky

Cabin announcements by the cabin crew before takeoff are crucial for ensuring passenger safety, providing essential information, and maintaining order within the aircraft. These announcements serve as a primary means of communication between the cabin crew and passengers, conveying critical safety instructions, emergency procedures, and flight updates. By informing passengers about seatbelt usage, oxygen mask deployment, emergency exits, and anticipated turbulence, cabin crew announcements empower passengers to respond effectively in the event of an emergency, while also keeping them informed and reassured about the flight's progress and expected arrival times. Furthermore, cabin announcements help to establish routines, guidelines, and expectations for passenger behavior, contributing to a harmonious and stress-free environment onboard. Overall, cabin crew announcements play a vital role in ensuring a safe, organized, and comfortable travel experience for all passengers. #cabincrew #flightattendant #iflyairpeace
