- Preparing and serving in-flight products with efficiency and a smile, always mindful of time and quality
- Handling unexpected situations with grace, including applying aggression-reduction techniques when necessary to maintain a calm cabin environment
- Checking the cabin, pantry, and trolleys to ensure everything is complete, stocked, and ready for service
