They Take Their Naps In A Secret Compartment
We all know that long-haul flights are made for sleeping, but have you ever wondered how the flight crew can survive them? They need to constantly be on their feet to tend to all of our in-flight needs, but that sounds like too much when the flight takes more than ten hours. There is no need to worry because they get to take breaks as well. Big planes such as the Boeing 777 or 787 come equipped with hidden sleeping cabins for this very reason. The windowless rooms are typically built below or above the galley. If you notice that a flight attendant has been missing in action, this is likely where they went.
They Have A Secret Code For Communication
The flight crew might seem like they know everything that is happening, but attendants actually use subtle codes to let each other know what is going on. Among other things, this comes in handy when they have to tell each other something without freaking out the passengers. The chimes and bells you hear during the flight are good examples of this mode of communication. Whenever you hear the “dings” during the start and end of the flight, keep in mind that it is meant to let the crew know that the most dangerous parts of the flight are now over.
