　　Xiaoyu, who works as a flight attendant, couldn't help but think in his mind, "The flight attendants in the back cabin may have bought rice noodles in Kunming, thinking about eating them after serving passengers in Guangzhou."

a friend of the captain of the Airbus A330, who is so uncomfortable that he can't eat. He said that he couldn't help thinking about how to operate if he was on that plane ."

Lin Meng said that the priority evacuation of passengers in the first lesson is true.

"We haven't learned the last lesson yet, and the content of each school's curriculum is different. But if it does come unexpectedly, we will try our best to protect the safety of passengers."

　　"Although there is no arrangement for the first and last lectures during our training, these are indeed the responsibilities entrusted to us by our duties, and the content is true." Xiao Xi also said.

　　"Because I have systematically studied aircraft types, first aid, emergency drills, and evacuation responsibilities, and because I can see the professionalism of pilot colleagues, the dedication of maintenance colleagues, and the consolidation and assessment of business knowledge by flight attendants every day at work. Anyway, we are all people who believe the most in the safety of China's civil aviation." Xiao Xi said.

　　Lin Meng also opened the book again.
