As a flight attendant, you're more than just a smiling face in the aisle — you're a first responder at cruising altitude.
If someone shows signs of a heart attack (chest pain, shortness of breath, cold sweat), don’t panic — prioritize and act fast. Notify the flight deck, page for a medical professional, and grab that AED (automated external defibrillator) like it’s your best friend.
Follow your airline's emergency protocol, use the onboard medical kit, and stay calm — your energy sets the tone. And yes, even in crisis mode, you’ll still be asked for ginger ale.
You’ve trained for this. You’re ready. You’re the calm in the chaos at 30,000 feet.
Pro tip: Make time to refresh your CPR/AED certification — because on some flights, you are the ER.
