A flight attendant is a very tempting profession that many young girls and boys dream of, especially if they live in those countries where it is the most prestigious job. In China, flight attendants have one of the most prestigious statuses and are considered highly paid professionals in their field. And this is not without reason, one has only to look into the training halls of Luoyang College, which is located in Henan province.

Hundreds of thousands of those wishing to become a student of this educational institution are seriously tested and trained before they can apply to college. To select the best applicants, a preparatory department has been created, whose specialists are at the very beginning of the path to the summits are organized castings akin to "bridesmaids" before holding various beauty contests or recruitment models. Applicants must meet the prerequisite criteria - good-looking, soft voice, acceptable height, skinny, and no scars or tattoos in visible areas.

It is also worth mentioning that candidates undergo a medical examination during the casting, so it will not be possible to bring a fake certificate. At the casting stage, as a rule, they “reject” those who, under no circumstances, will be able to get to school, but the rest of the lucky ones will have a real drill, which not everyone will be able to withstand either. And this is understandable, because during the flight, a lot of emergency situations can arise, which must be dealt with by the flight attendants on their own.

For this reason, they are trained not only to welcome guests, move and squat beautifully, but also to provide the first medical and psychological help, as well as be able to quickly and correctly protect yourself and other passengers from the attack of a tipsy tourist and even completely neutralize him, if required situation. So the beautiful fairies flitting between the seats of airliners are not as fragile as they seem at first glance. And if everyone knew what kind of special training they were going through, then few would be willing to behave in an inappropriate way.

But this will be later, when the applicant receives the coveted flight attendant license, and at first the applicants for students are taught to smile beautifully and keep their backs straight. At the beginning of the workout, everyone stands in front of a mirror and looks at themselves, studying their posture and facial expressions, and also remember how to hold their hands correctly. Then the girls clamp long wooden sticks between their teeth and try to learn to smile flawlessly, while they must have a glossy magazine on their heads. Candidates must do their best to keep him on top of his head for as long as possible.

Several days are allotted for these exercises, after which a check will certainly await, only instead of a magazine, a bottle of water will be placed on the head of each applicant. Now girls should smile radiantly without using sticks and hold the bottle for at least 3 minutes.
Important: Girls begin their studies only with perfect makeup, strict hairstyle, dressed in uniforms and certainly in high heels. Only one attempt is allocated to meet any final target. The slightest mistake is fraught with departure from the preparatory courses, which means that it will not work to get one of the most prestigious professions.
Those who passed this test are taught first to stand correctly, then move beautifully, squat, sit and bow. These skills are also not given to everyone and not immediately. Try to hold a regular sheet of paper between your knees, while smiling beautifully, holding a glossy magazine on your head. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to do this the first time, but future flight attendants will perform such exercises hundreds a day in order to learn only to stand correctly when meeting passengers.
The situation is no better with the skills of correct walking, and there is no question at all about learning to sit or sit down in a narrow skirt up to mid-knee length, because this is aerobatics. It is very difficult to describe the process in words, it is enough to look only at the pictures - and it immediately becomes clear why many fail this test. Those who have reached the penultimate stage of selection can only learn the correct handshake and bows, which exhaust no less than "drill" training.
Already after mastering the "elementary" rules of etiquette, the position of the arms, legs and head of the entrants remains exactly as much as the students need. It is after this that the army routine of flight attendants begins, and in the literal sense of the word. Despite the fact that there are much more girls who want to become a "fairy of the sky" on prestigious international airlines than guys, no one canceled the tough military drill for them. Without exception, all students master the wisdom of close combat and quick response, thoroughly studying the techniques of oriental martial arts, as a rule, kung fu and taekwondo. So far, all this is done in the gym and on the rugs, although a little later the task will be complicated.
Interesting fact: Such harsh learning conditions appeared for a reason. This was facilitated by an egregious case of angry passengers breaking into the runway after a lengthy flight delay. Such an incident was not the only one, while a series of attacks on flight attendants already followed in the cabin. After a series of unpleasant situations, the management of major Chinese airlines in 2013 decided to introduce a training course in military techniques and tough special training.
As it became known to the editors of Novate.ru, after preliminary preparation, everyone is sent to a training camp, where they pass running standards to increase endurance, and also try to pass an obstacle course, created in accordance with all the rules of the military drills. It's hard to imagine, but fragile girls are forced to pull logs, crawl through the mud, neutralize the enemy, overcome high walls and learn to "breathe" with their faces in a puddle of dirty water. Let us repeat that after each stage they pass tests without the right to retake and any failure of the standards entails expulsion, so no one will be able to profil.
Those who managed to pass this test, too, hone their combat skills already on sites with real "opponents" who attack with piercing and cutting objects and are well prepared. Well, in the final exam, you will also have to break a ceramic dish with the edge of your palm, and the first time. Now we understand why, after such training, graceful flight attendants can be safely taken not only on board the plane, but also in the special forces detachment, after all, there are few opponents who can take by surprise fragile girls who graduated from Luoyang College, which graduates flight attendants.

Along with physical training, students are also "driven" in other subjects, because flight attendants are required to know English and communicate fluently. They should also: study the design of the aircraft, be able to quickly and correctly stop any incident in the cabin, and it will not necessarily be a rowdy or a terrorist. Passengers are different, so flight attendants must be able to provide emergency care for sudden cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, or any serious health condition. They are also trained in communicative and psychological techniques designed to stop panic in the salon if an emergency situation of any nature has arisen.
Now, going on a trip, looking at graceful and friendly flight attendants, instead of envy, remember, that perfect posture, gait and smile are the result of exhausting work, will and the strictest self-discipline.
Even after passing all the above tests, there are few people who can be friendly, have a quick reaction and always come to the aid of a passenger if the flight lasts 18-20 hours. Although one who has made transatlantic non-stop flights will confirm that the flight attendants always remain friendly and "fresh", as at the beginning of the journey, but there is a very real explanation for this.
