definitely. Imagine an emergency situation!

On a curious note, and not about Nadia so much, but they must screen applicants personality for being able to keep from losing their shit in an emergency?

 But like anything you can "fake it to make it". 😂

You never know until your actually in a proper emergency.

so true, i've personally witnessed that on several occasions during an emergency.  some can handle it and some can't.

Yeah folks can fall apart but to some degree you must be able to filter that trait, like with  cops, firemen and paramedics.

Here is an idea, have an accomplice quietly walk up behind her during the interview and let loose a burst from an M240 belt fed machine gun. 😂

Think I would as well. 🤣

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), flight attendants cannot legally work on an airplane unless they have “demonstrated to the pilot in command familiarity with the necessary functions to be performed in an emergency or a situation requiring emergency evacuation and is capable of using the emergency equipment installed on that airplane.”

At its core, that means that before any flight attendant takes to the skies they are required to undergo extensive safety training that typically lasts between four and six weeks—plus a recurrent training each year.

Flight attendant training resembles a high-stakes reality show, with each new-hire reminded daily that their employment with the airline is contingent on passing the program. The anxiety in the training room is high: Who will make it? Who will be cut? Any time a pair of in-flight instructors walks into the room, it’s usually to deliver the news that one of the new-hires has been let go. And just like eviction night on TV, the others don’t get to say “good-bye.”

Though the training material can vary from airline to airline, every program must meet the standards set by the FAA; a large portion of the curriculum is dedicated to replicating emergency scenarios and testing flight attendants’ reactions. Each class of recruits is expected to memorize the location and use of emergency equipment on every aircraft type the airline flies. While some airlines have just one aircraft type, others have upwards of ten. Flight attendants are also trained in CPR, self defense, first aid, and most critically, executing emergency evacuations commonly referred to as “door drills.”

During door drills, flight attendant trainees sit in an aircraft simulator on a jump seat next to the emergency exit door, just as they would in real life. As they prepare for landing or take-off, an instructor will announce a randomly selected emergency scenario, ranging from the plane fish-tailing on the runway to a water landing. The instructors can also add in real-life curve-balls during the drill: just before the flight attendant is about to open the emergency exit, they may be told there’s fire on the opposite side of the door, debris blocking the exit, or the door has failed to open. The drill doesn’t end until the evacuation is successfully completed.

Emergency evacuations, like the one perfectly performed by the crew on the Japan Airlines flight, requires flight attendants to assess situations quickly, operate the emergency exits, and guide passengers to safety in a calm and orderly manner. They are trained to keep calm under pressure and communicate, a skill that is invaluable during unexpected incidents. These high-pressure drills are designed to make evacuation procedures second nature—and are a stressful and eye-opening experience for new hires, according to Chicago-based flight attendant Stephen Michaels.

His new hire class “started practicing for door drills the second the material was presented to us,” he tells Condé Nast Traveler. “Everyone has to memorize and scream instructions that would be delivered to passengers in an evacuation and there’s no room for error. One mistake and you’re out.”

While flight attendants are trained to protect their plane’s passengers, sometimes the danger is the passengers themselves. Unruly passenger incidents increased by a whopping 492% in 2021 with nearly 6,000 incidents reported, according to FAA data, a number that has since decreased substantially. Whether due to alleged intoxication, anxiety, or other issues, flight attendants use de-escalation techniques to maintain a safe environment for all onboard. Their training includes conflict resolution, and when necessary, how to implement restraints to prevent harm.

“Our training program saw the local police department come into our classroom and pretend to be unruly passengers,” says Los Angeles-based flight attendant Jenna Ford. “It wasn’t easy, they played the role well and taught us how to handle various situations that came in handy with the recent influx of unruly passenger incidents.”

When all of the above (and more) is taught, learned, and tested, the airline then presents their standards for in-flight customer, beverage, and meal service. And finally, after a comprehensive exam, the new-hire graduates. They earn their wings, pass another test on their first flight called their “initial operating experience” or I.O.E., then are cleared to take to the skies on their own. But safety training doesn’t stop there—even the most veteran flight attendants are required to return to ground training each year for a refresher. The program is changed annually to strengthen knowledge around specific emergencies they may encounter, reapply their skills, and review situations that have occurred in the past year and the lessons learned from those events.

^^^ The above text and link is about training of flight attendants in the United States.  If a candidate cannot handle the stress programmed into the training, he or she washes out of the program.  I  do not know the specifics of Dayana's training, but it appears to be at a school, not at an actual airline.  As she is probably paying for this school, it is likely her training does not include handling stressful simulations.  

The single flight attendant on this small charter jet safely evacuated the two passengers on board.  Even on small planes, they are trained.  See YouTube video below of the actual crash on to a highway in Florida.

Dayana returns with her suitcase at about 00:15.

Nadia returns with her current infatuation.  He looks like a character from a dark Ingmar Bergman film.
