Welcome to Big Sky Cabin Training Academy!
The public at large does not fully understand what our role as a Cabin Crew Member is. Being a Cabin Crew Member is not serving coffee, tea and meals, although a portion of your job is spent doing just that. You are there for the safety of our passengers – in many regards you are a safety officer.
