Flight attendants regularly greet passengers upon boarding, but not just out of courtesy and politeness.
It is about the fact that in this way, they carry out a small type of check to see if the passengers are too drunk or sick to fly.
We don’t know if you’ve noticed that when you get on the plane and walk to your seat at every airport, the cabin crew greets you warmly. Flight attendant Rania revealed why they do it.
She said it was a tricky way to gauge the type of traveler.
“Your flight attendant greets you, not just out of courtesy, but to check if you’re too drunk or sick for the flight,” she explained on her TikTok.
But it’s not just about that. Thus, Rania added that the cabin crew checked which passengers could help them in an emergency.
Another flight attendant described the person the crew would ask for help in an emergency.
She pointed out, “We are looking for anyone who has no problem getting around, knows English, seems to be able to open doors, and it is ideal even if he travels alone.”
“So, when you get on the plane, and you see our happy, smiling faces, we’re actually measuring you because we’re trying to spot so-called ABP people (able-bodied people),” the flight attendant explained.
If you fit this description, don’t be surprised if the cabin crew calls you in case an accident or mishap occurs during your trip, LADBible writes.
