Cabin crews are responsible primarily for passenger safety, an aspect of their duties often overlooked by passengers eager to be served beverages and food during a flight. Cabin Crew Safety reports on subjects that reflect not only on the safety of passengers, but that of all the aircraft’s crewmembers. One article examined turbulence-related injuries, a problem rarely discussed in the popular press, concluded that such injuries are preventable and outlined prevention measures. Several articles have discussed aircraft evacuations — in which the cabin crewmembers play a vital role. One article described recent research into seat configuration and passenger variables affecting egress time through airliner emergency exits. A 32-page special issue provided readers with the most comprehensive discussion to date about smoke hoods and the debate among safety experts about their value aboard aircraft. These small, inexpensive, carry-on devices, unfamiliar to most passengers, are designed to filter toxic air generated during evacuation of a smoke-filled aircraft cabin or high-rise building fire. Other subjects have included the controversy about how much equipment should be required for coping with in-flight medical emergencies; lack of communication/coordination between cabin crews and cockpit crews; and first-hand accounts of hijackings and aircraft accidents. Bimonthly. Established 1956. Two-color newsletter, 8-inch x 10-inch format, usually four to eight pages. |
