A flight attendant revealed exactly what they have to learn during training – and it will totally blow your mind. Most seasoned travellers are all too familiar with the routine of boarding planes , which are surrounded by attendants standing by at the entrance and in aisles helping guide people to their seats. As they board, passengers are greeted with a full, beaming smile and asked where they are seated.
They also ensure everyone is safe to fly before the plane takes off, and come around with those all important flight drinks and snacks. But, according to a TikTok creator, their job involves a lot more than that, as the training they have to endure is pretty intense.

While people may think flight attendants have to do simple things - like make announcements on board, push the snack trolley down the aisle and inform people of the safety precautions - their job actually entails so much more. She shared a clip, which is said to feature footage from training, that shows them act out what would happen if a fire took place on-board. In the training video, the plane is engulfed with smoke, and they learn how to get people to safety.
As well as this, they have to know how to "evacuate a plane and hundreds of passengers within 90 seconds". When doing this, they also have to remain "calm and professional".
