The opportunity to travel attracts many flight attendants to their careers. That opportunity comes with serious responsibilities for the safety of passengers and other airline personnel. Flight Attendants greet passengers, help them find their seats, and stow their bags, serve meals, and cope with turbulence, airsickness, and disruptive travelers. To keep passengers safe, flight attendants also instruct passengers in the use of equipment like seat belts and oxygen masks and are ready to help passengers evacuate in an emergency landing. Flight attendants work nights, weekends, and holidays especially early on in their careers because more experienced staff usually fly the most desirable routes and schedules.
