Cabin Crew Explain Why You Shouldn't Ask About Their Flying Experience

A common passenger habit during boarding involves asking cabin crew about their level of flying experience. While often well-intentioned, this question can be viewed negatively by flight attendants, as it implies their competence is solely based on time in the air. The reality is that all cabin crew members undergo the same rigorous and comprehensive safety and emergency procedure training to be certified. This standardized training ensures every crew member is qualified to handle any situation, regardless of their seniority. Passengers are therefore encouraged to have confidence in the crew's professional qualifications rather than their individual flight hours.
