Unsuspecting Charter Customers Often Misled
About Cabin Crew Qualifications
NEW
YORK, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
near miraculous survival of two passengers aboard a private jet
that crashed in Naples, Florida
and of 380 people aboard a Japan Airlines flight engulfed in flames
near Tokyo reinforce the
lifesaving benefit of trained cabin crews. Unfortunately for
business jet users, cabin service on many charter flights is
provided by individuals who are not trained, qualified or even
authorized to provide crucial aid in the event of an emergency,
according to a guest on a recent edition of the new Air
Charter 101 Podcast.
Flight attendant and safety advocate Susan Freidenberg is calling on the FAA to
mandate safety training for private jet cabin crews – encompassing
egress training, first aid, and other emergency situations. An
industry veteran with extensive major airline and business jet
experience, Freidenberg hopes to raise the bar on emergency
preparedness.
"Flight attendants are the most underappreciated crewmembers in
aviation," says Air Charter 101 co-host David Rimmer, "yet they have saved thousands of
lives over the years." Rimmer added, "we wouldn't be still be
celebrating Miracle on the Hudson were it not for the heroic
efforts of the flight attendants. That level of professionalism is
often lacking aboard private jet charters."
"Uniformed but untrained crewmembers can give passengers a false
sense of security," according to podcast co-host Omar Diaz. "Susan makes a compelling argument
about the need for transparency and change within business aviation
to better protect our passengers."
