  This series introduces the reader to people who help the community through the jobs that they perform. Each book focuses on an individual member of the featured public or emergency service; the experiences of their working day are used to illustrate the importance of their role in the community. Wherever possible, care has been taken to make these experiences relevant to those of the reader. This book is about a flight attendant and the holiday-makers whom he looks after during a flight. In this book, the reader meets Simon, a flight attendant and finds out how he helps people during a holiday flight to the Canary Islands. On the day of the flight, Simon reports for duty, attends a pre-flight briefing and checks the passenger cabin on the aircraft. The reader is introduced to some of the passengers on Simon's flight, including a family who are going on holiday. The authors explain what the passengers have to do when they arrive at Gatwick airport. Later, Simon welcomes them on board the aircraft, shows them what to do in an emergency and serves them food and drinks. He also makes sure that the children enjoy their flight. There is a dual-level text to help younger and less-able readers. for further reading complete the book.
