Flight attendants will have encountered turbulence.
Most of them will have seen a major injury because someone didn't have their seat belt on when they were instructed to (usually due to turbulence). Not to mention countless minor injuries.
Most will have experienced sudden stops or changes in direction whilst taxi-ing. Most will have seen passengers luggage fall on to other passengers because they got up too soon.
They have experience, they all have basic aviation knowledge, a lot of first aid knowledge. The grandfather post is disappointing from swombat.
- swombat 14y agoFunnily enough, those are all things I don't do. I keep my seatbelt on during the flight, and I don't actually pick up my bag during taxying because it's pointless (there's a long wait after the plane stops anyway). And, as pointed out elsewhere, when asked something directly by an attendant, I do it, out of politeness if nothing else. How many flight attendants have observed a plane crashing because of an iPhone? Zero. I have no respect for those kinds orders, for which they have no authority except that handed down by an organisation that has proven relatively stupid when it comes to that topic.
