Iceland Air pilot turned stewardess, would you dare to fly on such a plane?

There will be some concerns, but I believe Icelandair will make reasonable arrangements.

As we all know, the outbreak of the new coronavirus in 2020 has severely damaged the vitality of major airlines around the world. Flights were grounded and the number of passengers dropped significantly. The airline's revenue has plummeted, making it difficult to maintain basic expenses.

It can be seen from the layoff data announced by various airlines that it will be a little difficult to reach the sky in 2020.

According to news, Lufthansa will lay off 22,000 people, British Airways will lay off 12,000 people, Delta Air Lines will lay off 10,000 people, Qantas will lay off 6,000 people, and Air France will lay off 7,580 people. Airlines in various countries have begun to lay off employees to varying degrees. layoffs, etc.

The method adopted by Icelandair is to lay off all flight attendants and let pilots handle their work. This made many passengers worried.

The service responsibilities of a flight attendant are only a minor part of the flight attendant’s job. Ensuring the flight safety of passengers in the cabin is their top priority. It is true that due to the uncertainty of flight, passengers will inevitably encounter problems while in the air. At the beginning of training, flight attendants mainly learn how to solve these problems. They have the ability to provide quick first aid, etc. The flight crew training may also be exposed to these trainings, but compared to flight attendants, they are still professional. So it still worries us.

Sometimes, flight attendants of some airlines also need to receive training in dealing with terrorist activities such as hijacking. As soon as Icelandair's decision came out, media around the world were concerned about the ability of these pilots to protect the safety of passengers.

It is currently hoped that Icelandair can train these pilots as soon as possible so that they can master these important skills as soon as possible. While ensuring the personal safety of passengers, we can also serve passengers well and build our own brand image.

At the same time, more hope is that the epidemic will pass as soon as possible. The global economy will recover as soon as possible. Airlines will not make such a decision once the economy has recovered. Icelandair will also hire new cabin crew as soon as possible. We also hope that the flight attendants who have lost their jobs can find new jobs as soon as possible. Everyone works together to overcome this difficulty.
