World Aviation Stewardess Day July 12th. World Civil Aviation Stewards Day. The most beautiful stewardesses of Russia

28.03.2020

Annually their professional holiday - - celebrated by representatives of one of the most romantic specialties in the world, better known to us as stewards and stewardesses.

It may seem surprising, but this profession has been over 80 years old. It is believed that it arose in Germany in 1928, when they began to take on board a special person whose duties included providing service during the flight, a steward. Previously, the second pilot of the aircraft was engaged in this, which was risky in terms of flight safety.

At first, the functions of flight attendants were performed by men - most often they were former waiters of expensive restaurants. However, already in 1930, the idea arose in the United States to attract attractive girls to work - this was to become an additional advertisement for passenger air travel. There was one more argument in favor of the fair sex: they weighed less, which was of great importance for the aircraft of that time.

The first flight attendant in the history of aviation is called Ellen Church (Ellen Church, 1904 - 1965) from Iowa. In her first flight in this capacity, she set off on a 1930 flight from Auckland to Chicago for Boeing air transport.

Ellen graduated from nursing courses, in addition, she privately took lessons in airplane control - this served as a decisive argument in her favor: the girl herself offered her services to the airline. Moreover, it was Miss Church who was tasked with recruiting the first group to prepare future stewardesses; they were seven nurses under the age of 25 years and weighing no more than 52 kilograms.

Nowadays, the weight of the flight attendant is not so important. But when selecting personnel, the principle of “three O's” is often used: this is an external image (speech, facial expressions, makeup, external attractiveness); internal image (the presence of necessary character traits); professional image ( professional knowledge and skills).

The main duty of a modern flight attendant is to ensure the safety of passengers during the flight. In addition, stewards and stewardesses do everything to make passengers feel comfortable.

If you want to see the world -
It’s best to fly by plane.
Coziness and comfort aboard
The flight attendant creates it!

May everything in your life be in order,
May takeoffs and landings be safe
The weather is flying, happiness and patience
Always good luck and luck!

A brilliant airliner, blue heights - and in a matter of hours, a person descends the ladder to unfamiliar lands located thousands of kilometers from the house. For some, air travel has become part of life. And someone comes on board with trembling legs.

Despite the widespread belief, air transport is one of the safest. Passengers have almost nothing to worry about, entrusting their lives to experienced pilots.

And about the comfort and safety during the flight, the stewards and stewardesses, who are well prepared and know how to find outs in difficult or unforeseen situations, will be worried. These workers are dedicated to the professional holiday World Day of Flight Attendant of Civil Aviation, which is celebrated annually on July 12.

Lovely and always smiling stewardesses, strict and collected stewards - the usual accompaniment during the flight.

They know several languages, can communicate with unbalanced personalities, and are able to provide medical carehave experience in passenger service.

This combination of qualities of a psychologist, a medic, a waiter, a translator embodied the romantic and complex profession of a flight attendant.

These people have to regularly change time zones, overcome thousands of kilometers in the air, while remaining friendly and polite.

New countries, lands, people, on the one hand, are opposed to constant overloads, inadequate communication and long hours at high altitude. So decide how much the romantic profession of a flight attendant is life-threatening.

The history of the profession has more than 80 years. The first passenger traffic did not provide for the presence of an additional person on board the aircraft. The functions of the flight attendant were performed by the co-pilot.

They thought about flight safety in Germany - and in 1928 a liner rose in the sky, on which passengers were served by a steward. His responsibilities included ensuring passenger comfort. Therefore, stewards were recruited among the waiters of elite restaurants.

In America in 1930, the idea arose to invite girls as flight attendants.

In favor of this idea, there was a demand to attract pretty girls who would create additional advertising for passenger air travel. In addition, the fair sex have less weight, which was important at the time for flying.

The title of first flight attendant was given to Ellen Church, who lives in Iowa. The girl was fond of flying and took private aerobatic lessons. Therefore, she ventured to offer her services to an airline, which, surprisingly, ventured to try a woman as a flight attendant.

The girl passed the test, and she was instructed to recruit the first squad of stewardesses. The group consisted of seven nurses. The main requirements for them were: age - up to 25 years and weight - up to 52 kilograms.

International cabin crew day: who celebrates?

Modern stewardesses do not have weight requirements, like the first flight attendants. But to become a flight attendant, you have to graduate from a special educational institution. In addition, when choosing personnel, airlines adhere to the principles of three O.

O: the image is external. Attention is paid to speech, facial expressions, visual appeal, makeup, and the ability to keep oneself.

O: the image is internal. We are talking about certain character traits: self-control, restraint, sociability, stress resistance, determination.

A: The image is professional. Here, applicants are required to show the knowledge and skills that they have acquired in an educational institution or at a previous job.

A modern flight attendant is a guarantee of ensuring the comfort and safety of passengers during the flight.

Airlines are trying to emphasize the company's image through appearance flight attendants. For this, companies select a special uniform for stewardesses, which can reflect national motives. In ideas of form, the emphasis may be on elegance, rigor, or sexuality.

It is the people of this profession who celebrate their professional holiday on July 12, World Civil Aviation Stewards Day.

Of course, colleagues, friends and relatives join them. Students with teachers of specialized educational institutions are not far behind.

This is a manager who knows how to quickly arrange boarding of passengers, and a psychologist, and a service specialist, and in extreme cases, a lifeguard. The history of this profession began in 1928, when an individual began to be taken aboard the aircraft to provide service during the flight, the steward. These were mostly waiters - men from expensive restaurants. Prior to this, the co-pilot was engaged in passengers, which was not very convenient.

It is believed that the holiday arose in Germany in 1928. Almost ninety years ago, they began to take on board a special person who provided service maintenance crew and passengers during the flight. Previously, these duties were performed by the co-pilot, which was risky, especially during long flights, and for reasons of flight safety and passenger comfort, the steward profession was introduced.

At that time, the flight attendants were men, moreover, from the former waiters who previously worked in expensive restaurants.

But in 1930, in the USA, they began to attract pretty and petite girls to work, who, firstly, weighed less than men, and secondly, served as a kind of advertisement for passenger air transportation. This practice has spread throughout the world, giving the profession and flight practice a romantic touch.

The first flight attendant was Helen Church, who completed nursing courses, which was the decisive argument in favor of taking her to the position of flight attendant. Her first flight as a flight attendant took place on May 15, 1930 on the San Francisco-Cheyenne flight.

Now the range of qualities that a flight attendant should have is greatly expanded. They are selected according to the “three O” principle: the image is external, that is, speech, facial expressions, attractiveness, neatness and others; internal image - character traits belong to it, and a professional image, which includes specific skills and knowledge.

The duties of flight attendants include: advising on flight program matters, providing food and drinks, and quickly arriving at passenger calls.

In addition, flight attendants must be fluent in foreign languages, be able to provide first aid, have high professionalism and composure, and be able to prevent emergency situations.

Despite the romance of the profession, it belongs to the category of life and health hazardous. In addition to stress, emergency situations and the likelihood of disasters, the flight attendants, like the entire crew, are exposed to radioactive radiation from the upper atmosphere.

This holiday is celebrated not only by flight attendants of civil aviation, but also by students, teachers, as well as students and graduates of courses of specialized educational institutions.

The media is preparing programs about this profession, inviting veterans of civil aviation - former - and current stewardesses to the television studio, who talk about incidents of flying life, and about the ways that led them to aviation.

On July 12, celebration participants exchange experiences and discuss innovations. Diplomas and valuable gifts are awarded to distinguished employees. In the festive feast, different wishes and toasts alternate, but one remains unchanged - so that the number of take-offs coincides with the number of landings.

July 12 - Worldwide Cabin Crew Day

A simple story about a flight attendant.

Even now, when asked about future profession, a little girl can answer - a stewardess.

And earlier, at the dawn of aviation development, it was the most popular and most unattainable dream of many girls and girls! Although the first stewards were men. Their duties included assisting the passenger with boarding and alighting from the aircraft. And serving them during the flight. Then they were recruited from the waiters of fashionable restaurants. And they had nothing to do with technology. Already Zeppelin’s airships were specially trained specialists in the crew, to assist passengers in accommodation and to create comfort.

With the rapid growth of aviation, and in particular, civilian, the question arose of the need for an assistant pilot, a steward, who deals only with passengers, their safety, provides medical assistance, in general, tries to ensure that demanding, capricious and inquisitive passengers do not interfere to the pilot.

So the first steward was a man invited by Lufthansa in 1928. He flew a Junkers F-13, with four passengers on board.

In 1930, the American transport company Boeing Air Transport (United Airlines), became interested in the experience of German colleagues, and decided to create a similar service on its lines. Ellen Church, a nurse from San Francisco, contributed a lot to this. She took private piloting lessons. And at the end of the course, she came to the Boeing manager with a request to take her into the service of a pilot. She received an offer to assemble and lead the first small detachment of women nurses to work as flight attendants - flight attendants on airlines. The company management made the right bet.

The fact is that, in those years, aviation, passenger transportation was not only a new thing, but also quite dangerous. And the presence on board, in flight, of a fragile pretty girl, as a crew member, reassured even the most nervous and fearful passengers. Yes, and the main profession of Ellen, in flight could come in handy. Low altitudes led to a strong chatter in the surface currents of the winds. Few endured such a test well. This is where Ellen Church's training as a nurse came in handy.

The selection in the first group of stewardesses of seven nurses was very cruel, even for modern concepts. Professional nurse. Not older than 25 years. Weighing no more than 115 pounds, which is about 52 kg. Growth was less desirable. Not higher than 163 cm. And the first uniform of the girls was a simple medical gown. There were still conditions that are now not very fond of remembering in America. Girls had no right to marry and have children. They paid them, by that standards, a very decent amount, $ 125 a month. But there were a lot of responsibilities, which the current "goddesses of the air" are unaware of. For example, their duties included helping the crew roll out the aircraft from the hangar and refuel. Luggage loading and airplane cleaning. They were guides, and told passengers about the places over which the flight took place.

In addition, they provided medical services and fed everyone. And they even caught flies, handed out chewing gum and cleaned shoes for customers! As you can see, there was a lot of work. And, nevertheless, when other airlines followed the example of Boeing Air Transport, there were a huge number of people who wanted to be “heavenly girls” (sky girls so they were called then)! Only during the Second World War, due to the massive recruitment of nurses into the army, the selection criteria for the girls were somewhat relaxed. And they began to recruit any suitable girls.

LOVELY, that in the country of "developed democracy",

the age criterion was canceled only in the 70s.

A ban on marriage and children as much as 80m!

Today, it is wrong to take the stewardess as a servant who feeds and cares for you. First of all, the stewardess must ensure your safety. And the training program for modern stewardesses resembles the training of special forces! Remember, the stewardess on board is a welcoming hostess, temporarily hosting you at home. She is not a servant, like “bring-bring”, but a full member of the crew of the aircraft. If necessary, she even fly a plane, such courses are also included in the training program. Behave as good friends. And have a happy flight!

Each airline does everything possible to make its crew look sleek, well-groomed, sophisticated and unforgettable. Of course, the flight attendant's clothes should be comfortable and functional: he has to constantly move, raise and lower heavy luggage, and reach out to certain objects in narrow spaces. The form should be comfortable and look like overalls, but also a fashion factor is not excluded. Fashion design is sometimes developed by the most famous and expensive couturiers.
