Flight attendants play an important role in supporting a safe flight to your destination. Trained to respond to various types of potential in-flight emergencies, their main focus is the safety of the everyone onboard the aircraft. Passengers can do their part by always following crew instructions and lighted signs. Disruptive behavior that interferes with the flight attendants' safety duties could result in fines or jail time.

When you consider the job of flight attendants, you probably picture the people who greet you
when you board the plane, conduct the safety demonstration before takeoff,
and provide drinks and snacks during the flight. But their role is so much more than that.
The United States has the safest aerospace system in the world,
and flight attendants are a big part of our success.
They undergo extensive training in evacuation procedures, medical emergencies, and firefighting
in the aircraft cabin. In fact, you might consider them first responders in the sky.
They're skilled in conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques to deal with disruptive
passengers. Dangerous behavior distracts flight attendants from their important safety duties.
They're on board to ensure you have a safe journey, and your cooperation is critical.
Remember, we're all in this together, so when you fly, make sure you always follow
crew member instructions. Their number one priority, and ours, is your safety.
