What about the training? Where and how long does it take? Is it manufacturer specific? Boeing and Air Bus are quite different. Even Boeing has so many different type of planes?

LOL...this is a litmus test.
It took about 3 months before we're allowed to serve on flight. I don't know much about AirBus since then JAL had only Boeing planes. The service course was mostly in Singapore except for a safety course one week in California, when we had to train co-ordination with pilots.

Understand the airline pass is quite useful. Can get steep discount at many branded stores and also priority entrances to many night spots.
Really? Pai say ,pai say. Will google a bit next time?your questions might be able to find in google or airline company
please don't zap me.
I litmus test you all back. Why must all seats be upright, seat belts tightened and window shutters be up at take-off and landing? You all have a whole night to think and Google. I'm logging off and going for dinner now.

Thanks. You have been very helpful.
Yes, please share the information regarding the seats, windows and take off and landing. Think many bros here never take aeroplane before.
I litmus test you all back. 1) Why must all seats be upright, 2) seat belts tightened and 3) window shutters be up at take-off and landing? You all have a whole night to think and Google. I'm logging off and going for dinner now.
1) in case the wheels came off during landing or take off people can run easily
2) in case the wheels came off during landing or take off people will not get flung easily
3) in case the wheels came off during landing or take off rescuers can see how many dead how many alive
tio bo
Many detective here
Please la chonburifc is certainly not detective, I believe he truly is seeking job opportunity in JAL. Chai Mai Pi ?
No need even 10 seconds lah, but lazy for the rest
. Here is the first part, just to entertain you;
"Most airline regulations have a safety purpose behind them. Safety is the reason airplane seats must be upright for takeoff and landing.
Airplane seats are meant to recline for passenger comfort. They allow the passenger to nap or sit more comfortably. This is especially important on a longer flight.
A primary purpose for upright airplane seats is ease of egress, or exiting, from the plane. In a non-emergency situation, deplaning would be a much longer and more inconvenient process if passengers had to nearly climb over seat backs in order to get to the aisles of the aircraft. The economy classes in most aircraft have an average seat pitch (the space between seats in a row) of about 31 inches (78.7 centimeters). This is a tight fit with upright airplane seats. It is easy to imagine how small the space becomes when a seat back intrudes into the already narrow area.
In emergency situations, clear access to the aircraft aisles is imperative. Passengers must be able to reach the emergency exits as quickly as possible. Since most aircraft emergencies occur during takeoff or landing, having the airplane seats up at this time is crucial. It also allows passengers to assume the "crash position" if necessary."
The reason why they want all shades up is because, airlines rely on passenger's vision of the whole outer aircraft. The only people who can see the engines and what happens in the surroundings, are their passengers. Crew who are seated at their crew seats, will not be able to see a whole lot of the plane's exterior. And obviously, planes do not have rear view or side view mirrors.
Thinking from a passenger's point of view, if you see something wrong going on outside, you would panic and call for the flight attendant immediately. Right? So that is how, flight crew would be alerted if anything goes wrong: by the passengers.
As for closing them at night, it differs with airlines. Most major airlines (SIA, MAS, Cathay pacific, Qantas) would still ask you to have it remain open, but they will turn off the cabin lights. (I actually don't know which airlines would ask you to close the shade as it is a safety procedure) Same thing, when you turn off the lights, you would be able to see the outside of the plane and report for anything that goes wrong.
Also, in any case of emergency, you will know not to go to the side with fire, or submerged into water by looking out the nearest window.

Wah so complicated:o, don't sgp staff receive allowances in only sgd
It's a no brainer that the most dangerous part of a flight cycle is during the take-off and landing of an aircraft.
Switching and dimming of cabin lights and opening all the window shades during landing and taking off is also for flight safety reasons. In an emergency passengers can see better from darkness to brightness but not the other way round. The emergency strips along the aisles can be seen in darkness to lead the passengers to the exits. Open windows is also for the passengers to view outside the aircraft to be more aware of what is really happening in an emergency.
