Flight attendant training focuses on emergency water landing response
Cabin crew are onboard primarily for passenger safety rather than service, and their training includes repeated drills for emergency situations such as water landings and evacuations.
Cabin crew are onboard primarily to ensure passenger safety, not to provide service, according to a report, although many passengers are unaware of this. Their training covers emergency handling: medical events, preparations for an emergency landing, and evacuating an aircraft.
Emergencies often occur suddenly and without warning. Cabin crew must act immediately, and they practice such drills repeatedly during training.
