Have you noticed? The stewardess who greets passengers at the entrance of the cabin always puts her hands behind her back. Many people think that "putting your arms behind your back" is a gesture of courtesy and goodwill by flight attendants.
In fact, when welcoming passengers on the plane, the flight attendants "put their arms behind their backs" not only to show friendliness and kindness, but also to guide and welcome passengers. The hands behind them are busy counting people! Every time a passenger gets on the plane, the stewardess will press the counter.
Flight attendants near the cabin entrance will use the "counter" to record the number of passengers on the plane, so as to ensure that all passengers board the plane smoothly, and further confirm whether the total number of passengers meets the number of people who have logged in the counter before, so as to check the number of passengers and safeguard the rights and interests of passengers.
After all passengers board the plane and take their seats, the stewardess will patrol again for the second inspection. The stewardess who greets the passengers at the door will also observe the mood and condition of the passengers through "greetings", see if there is alcohol abuse or physical discomfort, and evaluate whether the passengers are suitable for boarding. If so, they will inform the manager and the captain, and then the captain will make a judgment to ensure the safety of all passengers on board.
It turns out that flight attendants have to complete so many tasks and pay attention to so many details at the same time. I really admire them! Next time you fly, you might as well pay attention to the hands behind the stewardess and press the counter.
I see ~ that's interesting! Share this little common sense of life that everyone doesn't know with people around you!
