Cabin Crew Licensing in South Africa

摘要

Transforming the system for cabin crewmembers is a challenging but very important process. What we have demonstrated through our activities is the fact that it can be done if there is stakeholder commitment and participation. It is also possible to achieve much if there is political-commitment. From our experience thus far, it is evident that licensing has empowered our cabin crew in realizing that they are not just boys and girls at the back but part of technical and safety officers onboard the aircraft. It has made life easier for us in ensuring quality control systems and safe operation because all the stakeholders are aware of the regulations and standards that they must comply with and these standards are in line with international requirements.
