STUDENT STEWARDS SET FOR NEW HEIGHTS
Thirty students undertaking a course in air cabin crew operations at the City of Glasgow College recently attended Loganair’s Training Department to experience a day in the life of a trainee crew member. The students, who are completing a
one-year City and Guilds course at the college, took part in the session to learn about the different skills required to be a member of cabin crew. The session allowed the students
to put the theory they were learning at college into practice, while also
showcasing first-hand the friendly and professional training provided by Loganair, Scotland’s Airline. The four-hour class included a presentation by members of the training team, detailing the many aspects of emergency procedures, safety equipment, first aid and in-flight service, with attendees given the opportunity to experience serving each other as well as practicing safety demonstrations. Loganair employs about 100 cabin
crew who carry out inflight services across the airline’s network.
