Every airline has its own brand of safety codes they expect their employees to adhere to. As New Zealand Air advertises online, "Passenger safety is paramount. The ability to address and effectively communicate compliance requirements with passengers is a must. As part of our highly regarded team, you'll be responsible for the welfare, comfort, enjoyment and safety of all our customers from the minute they step onboard until they reach their destination."

"I am trained on how to react in urgent, distressed, and mayday situations. In an emergency, my first course of action is to establish order and ensure the passengers are prepared."

"I would keep a cool head and react fast, thinking clearly on my feet. To keep others calm, you have to lead by example. My reaction to a safety threat would rely on my on-the-job training. I would follow company protocol and safety regulations. I believe if I were faced with a safety threat, I would do everything to ensure passengers remained calm."

Talk to the interviewer about any prior training you've had regarding how to react in a situation where passenger safety was at risk. Share any other insights you've had from your prior experience. If you have no prior experience, do some research, familiarize yourself with Air New Zealand's protocols, and express your eagerness to learn more.
