Introductions and essential information
They may ask everyone to introduce themselves briefly, as often you are working with people you haven’t worked with before or just worked with once or twice, so it’s good to know a little bit about one another. The SCCM will either delegate your position on the aircraft for the flight (eg. Door 1 left or R4 for example) or the most senior crew member will choose a position and then the next most senior will choose until all crew members have a working position. You will find out more about the flight including the flight time, departure and arrival time, destination and flight number and aircraft registration.
Important information to remember will be given such as the passenger load, any maintenance issues, special meals (eg. vegetarian, halal, diabetic etc) and passengers who need assistance (passengers with reduced mobility or have a wheelchair). Expectations of the flight will be discussed as well as the team standards, and any aims for the day.
If you are staying down-route, the SCCM will mention the hotel and destination along with any special recommendations. You may also receive a briefing sheet with all the information discussed or it is advisable to have pen and paper to hand to make notes.
