Cabin Crew or Flight Attendant??
The European title "cabin crew" or the US version" Flight Attendant"; which is more appropriate and which do you prefer?
We hear "Flight Attendant" probably more frequently through the media but "attendant" is defined -as someone who waits on or tends to or attends to the needs of another. It covers a multitude of sins but doesn't emphasise the "operating crew" aspect. It plays more on serving and service than safety. even the root of the word is from the French " attendre" - to wait for.
I prefer the European "cabin crew", as it relates more to operating the aircraft, in my opinion , and dovetails in very nicely with the term " flight Crew" to tie them both together as professional aircrew.
Does it matter what you are called? Do you even care?
