]]>Heavy Lifting
Carry-on bags should not exceed a weight above 7 kilograms, but lifting them up above your head is not always the easiest task. While the flight attendants can assist, they are not allowed to do it for you so as to not injure their backs. We don’t want you to get backache either, so bend your knees, use both hands to grip the bag’s handle firmly, and lift with your leg muscles. Be mindful to not twist your body.
Get in Position
Placing your carry-on in the right position is the key to stow it properly. Always put the wheels in first. Modern planes often have taller bins which allow you to place your case wheels first, on its side. For those that don’t, you can put the carry-on in long ways, but it doesn’t leave the most room for other passengers.
Sharing is Caring
The overhead compartments are for all passengers to use. Although space may be tight, it is never ever okay to remove another person’s bag to make room for your own. If you cannot stow the case directly above your seat, choose a bin further up or down, depending on which direction you are set to disembark. That way, you are not a salmon swimming upstream who is delaying those around you.

The suits and silk scarfs are made by local brands. Underneath the suit, the flight attendants will wear white t-shirts instead of blouses. Denysenko mentioned that skirts and heels are a bad choice in case of an emergency landing in water and evacuation.
The company realizes that, despite the romanticizing of the flight attendant’s job, they realize it’s physically demanding and unnecessarily difficult for the ladies. Standing on their feet for 12 hours is not pleasant and often leaves long-term consequences.
The company has a plan to launch a new male crew uniform too. A light suit will replace a vest and they will wear a t-shirt instead of a shirt. They will also get Nike sneakers but in black.
The new uniform will be launched on October 22nd.
