Joint training for flight and cabin crew?
I am not sure whether this is the correct forum, mods please move if not.
My question is simple: do flight and cabin crew ever train for emergency procedures together?
I understand pilots undergo a six-monthly simulator check in a 'flight-deck only' sim and I imagine that cabin crew also train for emergencies in a cabin simulator. However, I wondered whether you ever practise emergency evacuations (for example) with an entire crew? Is it practicable to do this? i.e. are there full-size simulators with a flight deck and cabin? Or do you train separately and then put it together only if the situation arises in the real world?
Thanks for your help.
