Perks Of Seniority
When a flight attendant is working her/his way up, the perks based on seniority are not just limited to routes/days they get to pick. In fact, their seniority also determines where they sleep: top bunk, lower bunk or even the floor their bed is on and how close to doors, noisy areas and stairwells. Bizarrely enough, the crew member’s seniority can also dictate their skirt length. After the females pass their probation period, they can shorten their skirt hem.

You Never Felt Extreme Turbulence
Over 2 million people fly each day in America. Now, consider that when you hear only three people have died from turbulence since 1980. So, your chances are pretty safe! Also, you should know that two of those three weren’t wearing their seat belts. In total, the Federal Aviation Administration recorded just over 300 serious turbulence injuries from the same time frame. However, more than two-thirds of the injured people were actually flight attendant. Thus, keeping your seat belt fastened greatly reduces your risk of injury. You have a greater chance of injury from falling items than turbulence itself. Some airline companies don’t even allow a crew member’s injuries to be considered on-duty injury. Unless it happens during what they consider ‘extreme turbulence,’ where the pilot loses control of the aircraft or the airplane has structural damage, it’s not an on-duty injury.
