Cathay's Young Cabin Crew!

Six small crew members

It was heart warming to see children so eagerly dressed up and playing the part of cabin crew. Cathay Pacific picked six children of its staff, aged between 4 and 10, and dressed them in perfect miniature cabin crew uniforms so they could learn and live a day in the life of their parents at work.

In what looked like the cabin mock up of an A330, the children showed off their service skills. The video clearly showed them wrestling with the galley cart, and that was where the fun lay.

It reminded us of our own first hand experience with a captain dad and his kid first officer, covered in another post.

The children also met the flight deck crew and sat in the briefing office. All in a day's work. The original post carried photos and a video from Cathay Pacific.

All photos and video were from Cathay Pacific.
