CABIN SAFETY RESOURCES & SAFETY ALERTS

NBAA BACE NEWSROOM (October 23, 2024)

Following a moment of silence for the two pilots who lost their lives in the accident, Bosmans shared she continues to grapple with post-traumatic stress disorder. “My processing has only just begun,” she said. “A dear friend of mine recently said, there is a survival of the event, and then there is a survival afterwards. That is where survival truly begins. I am not up here with it all together, and that’s okay,” Bosmans added. “I hope you can give yourself the same permission, regardless of what you have been through.”

Bosmans also called for mandated safety training for business aviation flight attendants. She credited such training – which she sought out and paid for on her own only months prior to the accident – for quickly locating and opening the rear baggage door they escaped through. 

“I see a day where there’s no such thing as a cabin server with no safety functions,” she said. “This entire business of aviation is based on a first-class, high touch experience. So why are you comfortable with not providing safety on a first-class level?"
