Some people think that its overacting but little did they know that this spells a huge difference during an actual emergency evacuation. Flight attendants are required by airline standards and global aviation authorities to raise their voice during any emergency evacuation and procedures as these play an important role in saving lives.
This is a standard practice among all airlines. Flight attendants have to simulate training drills as though it is an actual emergency.
Flight attendants are not shouting; they are simply simulating a crash landing and the ensuing panic inside the aircraft. People may scream or shout in an emergency situation, just as they would during an earthquake, a boat sinking, or a land vehicle crashing down a hill. If heavy turbulence can cause passengers to panic, what more of an actual emergency like fire on board?
Flight attendants are required to raise their voice for these reasons
During an immediate emergency evacuation, the cabin crew’s commands must be heard throughout the cabin. Given the panic and screams of the people, it must be heard. So, here are the reasons why airlines REQUIRE flight attendants to raise their voices when issuing commands during emergencies:
- So that everyone can hear them while issuing commands. These commands, such as “hey you get out” or “emergency bend down,” must be heard and followed throughout the cabin as the cabin crew must remain in their designated stations or areas. Despite the panic, their commands must be heard.
- To sound more authoritative, particularly in an emergency situation where the cabin crew must force people to follow instructions in order to ensure a quick evacuation.
- Getting the passenger’s attention so that they will obey.
During an emergency evacuation, a cabin crew does not “shout,” but rather raises their voice and ensures that it is modulated so that people can hear them. It must be audible and clear.
So, hopefully, this clarifies why flight attendants are required to raise their voices during emergencies. It is required for safety reasons. Airlines adhere to a global aviation safety protocol. This is typical.
