During the flight, flight attendants are not only responsible for the safety and comfort of passengers, but they are also the hallmark of the airline. You may have noticed that only young and pretty women work as flight attendants. And it’s impossible to meet a pregnant stewardess at all. DIP figured out why.
When the flight attendant becomes aware of her situation, she should approach the therapist and report her condition. In this case, it is necessary to confirm the presence of pregnancy with a certificate from a gynecologist. After a medical commission, the girl receives a suspension from flying activities.
Next, the stewardess goes to the personnel department, where she writes a statement. And then the airline just shifts her to light work, which is land work with fewer hours per week and no night shifts. From the moment of writing off and until going on maternity leave, the employee receives the average salary for the last 12 months.
In large airlines, a lot of women go on maternity leave, so not everyone manages to get a job in the office. In this case, they stay at home and periodically come to work.
Flight activity is contraindicated for pregnant women due to overload. During the flight, flight attendants have to lift weights, there is always a potential risk of emergencies, and schedule features involve night shifts and pressure drops at altitude. All this can harm the unborn child.
However, before the rules were less humane about women’s health. Tens of years ago, no one paid attention to pregnancy. Once a flight attendant even gave birth to a boy during a flight.
