The comfort, security, and welfare of passengers on short- and long-haul flights are the responsibility of the airline's cabin crew. The space between the cockpit door and the back kitchen is under their control. Outside of the aircraft or in the cockpit, the cabin crew is not in charge.

Both routine and urgent circumstances can be handled by the cabin staff. Following the orders, they close the exit doors on the left and right sides of the aircraft.

In case of an emergency, hosts and hostesses are also responsible for opening the emergency exit door.

The seats nearest to the emergency exit doors are also regarded to be occupied by passengers, and they are held accountable. The responsibility of the cabin crew differs from company to company when the appropriate goods need to be put into the aircraft.

The primary responsibility of the cabin crew is to verbally and physically describe to passengers what to do in case of an emergency.

The position carries a great deal of responsibility and can be physically and emotionally taxing. Even while experiencing the impacts of crossing time zones and spending a lot of time on their feet, cabin crew members are obliged to treat every passenger with courtesy.

Typically, a degree is not necessary to work as an aircraft cabin crew. A degree in languages, travel, tourism, hotel management, or leisure may be useful, though. Having a nursing degree might also be helpful.

Academic credentials are typically less significant than interpersonal abilities, physical fitness, and excellent health, though many airlines still need at least five GCSEs with English and math at grade 4 (C) or above. Additionally, there are other vocational certifications, like NVQs, that are appropriate for cabin crew. You will require a current passport in order to travel abroad. A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check will also be required.

Due to the limited space in the galley, employers frequently impose physical standards; these may include minimum/maximum height requirements and proportionate body weight. Staff members must present themselves well and frequently wear uniforms. 

A major priority for airlines has always been the appearance of their cabin personnel. Passengers perceive competence and dependability in drivers who are well-groomed, tidy, and professional, and this is crucial for fostering a satisfying customer experience. Cabin Crew professionals are often good-looking models a few of them to name are Mansi Yadav and Kshitij Rana

In India, the starting salary for cabin crew is approximately INR 3.0 Lakhs (Rs 25.0 K) annually. However, the salaries vary from Airline to Airline, and also the work experience of the professional. Being a member of the cabin crew requires at least one year of experience.
