Flight attendants must be able to identify the details and severity of the crisis, and administer first-aid calmly and effectively. To ensure that these requirements are met, regular first-aid courses and emergency procedure drills have become common practice in the majority of airline companies. This on-going training has meant that airline staff can react with even greater lucidity, composure and meticulousness than ever before. 22 o

Bill has worked at a manufacturing plant as a Maintenance Technician for the past 30 years, he started when he was 28. When he began, Bill worked the 3rd shift, which was the least desirable of all the shifts (for him personally). It took him nearly 5 years to move to a 1st shift job and he has worked that shift ever since and has no desire to work a different shift. Because of his tenure and performance, Bill tends to work autonomously with little direction from his supervisor.

Since John started, Bill noticed that some of his more technical/advanced job duties were being reassigned to other, less-experienced maintenance technicians. Bill is concerned about this because the work that he is…
