The article was pretty engaging. The leaders/coordinators at my location only mentioned the hurricane ride out crew–what it is, what it means for cast members (we get paid during our time there) but that’s about it. I signed up for hurricane ride out but it looks like it won’t be necessary.
As far as safety, I was trained on things like chemical hazards, PPE and emergencies that require security/getting a leader (like if a guest interaction starts to take a turn for the worse).
What stuck out the most from this article was how focused they were on ensuring that they got better with each hurricane. I don’t necessarily have any plans on a career in management but I can see how this can apply to responding to emergency situations as a flight attendant. Having situational awareness is important. Communication as mentioned in the article, between pilots, passengers and flight attendants would be high priority too. I didn’t do too much research but this seems like the gist of it. I also thought the phases were really interesting and well thought out and thought it really impressive that employees manually delivered letters to guests.
