A bit of history and facts
- The girls weighed less, which was a weighty argument in those years.
- The passengers at that time were mostly men, whom the young girls were much more satisfied with.
Who among us can imagine flying on board an airplane without a flight attendant? From the outside, it seems that this is an uncomplicated profession, and yet it combines many functions. This is a manager who can quickly organize the boarding of passengers, a psychologist, a service specialist, and, in extreme cases, a lifeguard. The history of the emergence of this profession began in 1928, when they began to take on board the aircraft a separate person to provide service during the flight, a steward. They were mostly waiters - men from expensive restaurants. Before that, the co-pilot was engaged in passengers, which was not very convenient. In our time, the task of the flight attendant has not changed, the main thing is to ensure the comfort and safety of the flight for passengers. As a tribute to society's respect for this romantic, but difficult profession, Flight Attendant Day is celebrated on July 12.

Today, July 12, is World Flight Attendant Day civil aviation... Historically, the holiday has developed spontaneously and has never been established at the official level. Nevertheless, every year more and more airlines join the celebration of this date.
It is not known exactly who the idea of \u200b\u200bestablishing the holiday belongs to and how long ago it arose. However, the profession of a flight attendant itself appeared 90 years ago. It is believed that it originated in Germany in 1928, when a special person began to take on board the plane, whose duties included providing service during the flight. Previously, this was done by the co-pilot, which was risky from the point of view of flight safety.
Initially, only men performed the functions of flight attendants - most often they were former waiters of expensive restaurants. However, already in 1930, an idea arose in the United States to hire attractive girls - this was supposed to be an additional advertisement for passenger air travel. There was another argument in favor of women: they weighed less, which was of great importance for airplanes of that time.
Ellen Church from Iowa became the first flight attendant in aviation history. She took her maiden flight in May 1930 on the San Francisco - Cheyenne flight. Ellen graduated from nursing courses and privately took aircraft flying lessons. This served as a decisive argument in her favor - the girl herself offered her services to the airline. Moreover, it was Church who was tasked with recruiting the first group to train future flight attendants. They were seven nurses under the age of 25 and weighing no more than 52 kg. It is worth noting that strict requirements for the appearance and physique of flight attendants have survived to this day, although countries have largely formed.
In the 30s of the last century, the job description stated that stewardesses should welcome passengers, punch their tickets, weigh the passengers themselves and their luggage, and also engage in its loading and unloading. Before departure, the flight attendants had to clean up the cabin and the pilot's cabin, check whether the passenger seats were securely attached to the floor, and, if necessary, exterminate the flies. During the flight, flight attendants were required to distribute chewing gum, blankets, slippers, clean passengers' shoes and clean the toilet. In places of intermediate landings, flight attendants had to carry buckets of fuel to refuel the airliner. When the plane arrived at its destination, the flight attendants helped the ground staff to roll it into the hangar.
The girls worked 100 hours a month, earning $ 125. Boeing Air Transport hired flight attendants on a three-month probationary period, but the practice was so successful that they were not only enrolled in the staff, but also decided to continue to hire mostly female flight attendants. The requirements for applicants were as follows: to be unmarried, to have a nurse's diploma, age - no more than 25 years, weight - no more than 52 kg, and height - no more than 160 centimeters.
Today, each airline puts forward its own requirements for applicants for the position of a flight attendant, but there are general rules. The applicant must be pleasant in appearance and with a pleasant timbre of voice, have a smooth speech without defects and correct bite. Vision should be corrected within 20-30% or better.
Applicants for trainee positions range in age from 19 to 29 years old. In some companies, the age bracket ranges from 18 to 24 years old. Weight should be in accordance with height and medical standards. For young people, height is from 170 to 190 centimeters, for girls - from 160 to 175 centimeters.
A shiny liner, blue heights - and in a matter of hours a person descends the ladder to unfamiliar lands, located thousands of kilometers from home. For some, air travel has become a part of life. And someone climbs aboard with trembling legs.
Despite popular belief, air transport is among the safest. Passengers have little to worry about, devoting their lives to experienced pilots.
And the comfort and safety during the flight will be taken care of by the stewards and stewardesses, who are perfectly trained and know how to find ways out in difficult or unforeseen situations. These workers are dedicated to the professional holiday World Day of the Civil Aviation Flight Attendant, which is celebrated annually on July 12.
Is flight attendant a romantic or dangerous profession?
Lovely and always smiling stewardesses, strict and collected stewards are the usual accompaniment during the flight.
They know several languages, are able to communicate with unbalanced personalities, are able to provide medical assistance, and have experience in serving passengers.
This combination of the qualities of a psychologist, a physician, a waiter, and an interpreter is embodied in the romantic and difficult profession of a flight attendant.
These people have to regularly change time zones, travel thousands of kilometers in the air, while remaining friendly and polite.
New countries, lands, people, on the one hand, withstand constant overload, inadequate communication and many hours of stay at high altitudes. So decide how much the romantic profession of a stewardess is life-threatening.
The history of the profession goes back over 80 years. The first passenger Transportation did not provide for the presence of an additional person on board the aircraft. The functions of a flight attendant were performed by the co-pilot.
They thought about flight safety in Germany - and in 1928 a liner took off into the sky, on which a steward served passengers. His responsibilities included ensuring the comfort of passengers. Therefore, they recruited stewards among the waiters of elite restaurants.
In America in 1930, the idea arose to invite girls as flight attendants.
This idea was supported by the requirement to attract pretty girls who would create additional advertising for passenger air travel. In addition, the fair sex has less weight, which was important at that time for flights.
Ellen Church, who lives in the state of Iowa, received the title of the first flight attendant. The girl was fond of flying and took private lessons in aerobatics. Therefore, she ventured to offer her services to the airline, which, surprisingly, risked trying a woman as a flight attendant.
The girl passed the test, and she was assigned to recruit the first squad of flight attendants. The group consisted of seven nurses. The main requirements for them were: age - up to 25 years and weight - up to 52 kilograms.
International Flight Attendant Day: who is celebrating?
Modern flight attendants do not have the same weight requirements as the first flight attendants. But to become a flight attendant, you have to graduate from a special educational institution. In addition, when choosing personnel, airlines adhere to the principles of the three O.
A: the image is external. Attention is paid to speech, facial expressions, physical attractiveness, makeup, and the ability to hold oneself.
A: the image is internal. We are talking about certain character traits: self-control, restraint, sociability, stress resistance, determination.
A: the image is professional. Here applicants are required to show the knowledge and skills that they have acquired at an educational institution or at a previous job.
A modern flight attendant is a guarantee of ensuring the comfort and safety of passengers during the flight.
Airlines are trying to emphasize the company's image by appearance flight attendants. To do this, companies select special uniforms for flight attendants, which can reflect national motives. Form ideas can be based on elegance, rigor or sexuality.
It is the people of this profession that celebrate their professional holiday on July 12 - World Day of the Civil Aviation Flight Attendant.
They are, of course, joined by colleagues, friends and relatives. Students and teachers of specialized educational institutions are not lagging behind.
