Happy International Flight Attendant Day to All Our Swoop, WestJet Encore and WestJet Members!

We are most known for our compassionate and caring ability to recognize the needs of the guest in our care even when they do not know themselves. Whether it is offering to hold a baby for a parent who needs to use the bathroom, bringing a warm towel and cup to a crying toddler on descent, listening to a passenger’s story of frustration in getting through security or just offering a warm smile during boarding.  

While our mastery of professionalism, courtesy and excellent customer service is visible to our passengers, our constant attention and preparedness to safety might be overlooked by the casual observer. Primarily, we are Safety Professionals and, as such, are always ready to jump in during a crisis whether it is a medical emergency on board, smoke in the cabin, or an unruly passenger.   

On this day, we ask that we take a moment and appreciate yourself and your fellow Cabin Crew Members for all the challenging work we do every day, all day.  

Today we also ask each of us to make a special effort to Thank your fellow Cabin Crew Members. Let them know you appreciate them.  

Find something you can do to recognize your work-family. A nice gesture, an act of kindness, paying it forward to one another throughout this day.  

Capture the moment and share them. Tag us and use the Hashtag# to share on social media.
