Susan's opening remarks prior to the 45 minute power point presentation
Cabin Safety Presentation
I am very concerned about the role / plight and the future of the business aviation F/A.
Non trained or unprofessionally trained people "acting" as a F/A and being called or listed as a cabin server / food slinger / or a passenger is unacceptable for an industry that is responsible for keeping people safe.
We are in a tube going from a-b in an unnatural environment. The mind set and goal is to get to "b" without incident, but there is always that "what if" factor.
I have asked myself and my peers over and over again, "in what profession where you have people's lives in your hands do you introduce untrained people into that environment?"
Certainly not a doctor / nurse / trial lawyer / astronaut / commercial / corporate pilot or a commercial F/A.
Would you ever board US Air / United / American / Varig/ El Al Airlines and have an untrained flight attendant? Why are we in part 91/135 any different?
Without that, what you have is a liability in the back of the aircraft and someone that will never have your back because they do not know how to cover your back or your passengers backs.
CRM is critical in the flights mission and that means having a competent trained person in the back of the plane.
Today, I will go over some of the reasons why in my professional opinion, the person in the back is an important part of the mission and should be required on large aircraft and be an emergency corporate specific trained person.
